Progress on Week 2...

I'm sorry it has taken me a while to post this.  Matt had to travel this week and both kids have been sick, so needless to say, posting on my progress has been the last thing on my mind.  But, I'm happy to report that week 2 went really well.  I bought a pedometer which is the best investment I have made in a really long time.  It's so fun to see how many steps you take in a day.  On several websites, I have heard that you should reach for 10,000 steps a day.  If I get my 30-45 minute walk in, it's not a problem to hit that on a normal day, when I don't, it is pretty difficult.  That walk is crucial.

Another thing I am really starting to notice is that when I eat healthy, regular meals, I feel really good, my health is noticeably better.  When I don't, I can really notice it too.  I crave more junk food and I feel quite yucky.  I do my best to eat well-balanced meals.  

My favorite thing that I have gotten from this is smoothies.  I love smoothies, and I have really come quite partial to green smoothies.  When I drink one, I feel so refreshed and refueled.  100% goodness in a glass.  It curbs my sweet tooth too which is a plus.

I'll comment on my progress for this week much quicker so I can be a little more detailed.
