I looked at today's topic and said, aloud, "I can't write about healthy habits!" I smoke, I'm overweight, I let my anxiety get the best of me, I eat too much, I yell...the list goes on. So WHAT healthy habits DO I have?
1) I TRY, usually successfully, to be in bed at a good time. Sometimes that is at 9:30 and sometimes that is 10:00. On a REALLY good night, I get to be in bed at 9:00. It takes me awhile to fall asleep so if I'm not medicated by at least 10:00, I am really tired the next day. Now, obviously there are times I fail at this. This week was awful for sleep! I'm hoping to be in bed by 9:30 tomorrow night.
2) I cook healthy meals. Sometimes I eat too much of it but I really do try to keep the fat and calories down in the meals I cook. We also try to substitute foods to make meals healthier. I try to cook with low-fat options. (I'm tempted to write about our huge cheese addiction in this house but I'm trying to stay positive!)
3) We eat family meals at the table and share as a family. Our family has a tradition of "The best part of your day." At dinner time, we go around the table and everyone has to say the best thing that happened to them that day. This is a great chance to hear about what is going on in our kid's lives and also allows them to take a minute and appreciate something about their day.
Now that I write those, I realize we DO have a couple of other healthy habits. Can I just take a moment to recognize that this post is a LOT shorter than most of my other posts. HAHA!!!
