The first I did on Monday (naturally and without upon reflexion) was ditching my car. I now use my feet to go to work (of course I don’t live too far from my workplace), do light shopping, go to the post office, pay my bills and meet people. Of course, I will use my car for when I need it. But today is actually the 5thday without using my 4-wheel engine. Surprisingly I feel lighter and free (I thought people bought cars to have more freedom).
My morning, noon and evening walks is the best thing for me as I am certainly not a gym person and I have meant to go work out by the sea with a friend for ages but never got to do it. So, there I am, no car but have managed to be somehow active.
The second thing I am working on is eating healthier. In a way, I am glad I don’t have house help (this won’t be for long). Because now I can make our meals and think ahead of what we are going to eat and even try to find the healthiest recipes. I am not a good cook but I must say stuff I have made so far have all been consumed. Don’t know whether it is because it’s tasty or just because there’re empty stocks that need to be filled… I am happy to find so much information and new recipes on youtube and the web. They make our lives so much easier!!
While I am happy I have somehow been good this week, I am not sure how long I can keep sticking to my resolutions. I will just have to pray to keep it up and stay motivated…
One thing is sure. I have no car waiting for me outside. I am definitely walking home from work this evening.
How about you? Are you having a healthy lifestyle? How did you manage to change your habits?
Let’s talk on :
