I know I’m taking things slow…but I know me. If I try to do everything at once, I will give up at the first hurdle. I need to get used to it so taking it one day at a time is how I’m going to work it. I’ve been eating a lot of junk lately but cutting it all out will just make me want it more. I’ve decided that my first step will be water. As in starting to drink some. Every day.
I *used* to drink a lot of water. I *used* to have clear skin all of the time. Now I have the occasional breakout and I put it down to a complete lack of water in my system. Yesterday I drank a bottle, today I drank a bottle so tomorrow I’m aiming for two bottles. Again, I’m taking it slowly as I don’t want my system to go into shock because I’ve suddenly changed my entire eating and drinking habits. If my body goes into shock I’m going to feel like crap and then I’ll more than likely give up. One change a day is less likely to drain me.
I know that my skin is probably going to have one major breakout within a couple of days as the toxins begin to be cleared out but it’s worth it if I get back into this one extremely healthy habit. I’m going to try and avoid alcohol too. It will give my liver a chance for a change! I am also going to switch from regular tea and coffee to green tea which is much healthier. I am dreading the headaches though! I also think I should buy a weighing scales, just to keep a record of my progress when I do start to make a concentrated effort on getting fit – although I will be judging myself based on dress size more than anything else.
