Choosing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle

I made a choice in January to turn around on my bad habits and to become a healthy and fit young lady.

This in all its practical glory means that I have started to use this online tool to count my calories, to make sure I am inside the daily intake that is recommended.

Further I only have one day a week where I am able to eat whatever I want. Interesting - cos I end up eating healthy on that day as well, as it turns out that it is actually quite sickening when I choose to eat unhealthily.

My sweet tooth is still around, but is slowly being fazed out.

I have a fitness goal for the first time in at least 10 years, as I will run 10 kilometres in the Lofoten Marathon in August.

3 or 4 times a week now I do excercises that makes me sweat. Which feels good - both in mind and body.

All easy steps - but important ones to take me in the right and healthy direction. Making sure to hydrate and keep healthy.

And last but not least. I am trying to get enough sleep. I need my 8 hours worth every night - and I am almost there.

Turning around and trying my best to stay healthy will work in my favour in the long run - after all - i am soon turning 30 you know........Still a bit freaked out by that but I will make sure the next decade will be fun filled and a happy one.

Internal focus in changing your bad habits in life are crucial to be able to fully change and maintaining a consequencial changed life. It is hard work, willful work and it requires a full wholehearted wish to make ones life better.
