So when we first talked about doing this wellness blog, I was super excited! But I quickly fell off the wagon. And instead of getting up and trying again, I just gave up. But recently I’ve accomplished some baby steps that I am very proud of. And although right now they don’t seem very monumental, if I keep at it, I will see positive change.
My baby steps:
•I walked in the HeartWalk a few Sundays. I only did the mile route, but I walked.
•I purchased omega-3 supplements and a multivitamin that have been faithfully taking every morning.
•I have been eating tilapia at least once a week for lunch or dinner.
•I have been replacing my usual favorite side dishes of rice or potatoes with sautéed or roasted veggies.
•I’ve been drinking more water.
•In my search for a new church home, I have visited two churches and plan to visit a third next Sunday.
