I'm really trying to eat better and workout everyday, at least to some degree. Once the boys are back in school I can get back to walking in the mornings.. Rather than have what sounded really good for lunch today, I went with what was better for me. I do love my smoothies and have for years. Veggies are really tough for me to eat. I can't do the texture and so rather than not eat them at all, I make smoothies. They're actually really yummy and I think they're pretty healthy.  I recently started using fresh mint leaves and they are simply fabulous.. The mint leaves are really strong but they keep my breath fresh all day...  Anyway, here's the one I had for lunch today.  👍   

With all these new beginnings and whatnot, I'm feeling a renewed sense of hope for the future. Along with that renewed sense of hope, I'm finding myself once again focusing on my personal health and wellbeing.  Truthfully, I've been feeling rather depressed recently and can't seem to avoid late night stress eating. It's a will power thing or actually, a lack there of.  That being said, as of this moment, I'm back on the wagon.  I'm going to make it a point to get back walking or running everyday. I'm also going to trying winding my bedtime back to a reasonable hour as well.  I don't expect this will be easy but nothing worth doing ever is.. 💪
