Day 51 I'm Tired

I am feeling a crazy lack of energy the last few days and I know it is because I am not working out as much as I should be.  I started a new job today and I had every good intention of getting up early and working out this morning but I am seriously blocked when it comes to early mornings!  It is an uphill battle.  Some have suggested that it may also be the stress of all the recent changes in my life.  Hmmmmmm I wonder? 

I am excited about my recent shopping trip to the grocery store.  I have decided that I will be taking my own lunches to work from now on.  This is good habit to break and I will probably save a lot of money as well (duh).  Everything I bought was checked for calorie, fat, sodium content etc.  I recently watched Food Matters so I am going to take some of the basic tips from that film and implement them into my routine.  It is on netflix or you can view it at the link above for $4.95.  Definitely worth the watch!  One of the things they suggest is drinking a full glass of water the minute you wake up for cleansing and detox.  That's easy.  I also purchased organic fruits, vegetables and milk so I am going to determine if that affects the way I feel.  I eventually am going to implement more vitamins as well.  Right now I am taking Vitamin C and a daily supplemental vitamin.

I have noticed that my skin is clearer, my pants are looser, I crave physical activity more and I am sleeping better.
All in all I am still motivated and feeling good about my progress however agonizingly slow it is.
