i'm doing great even if this blog is not

Well, I've been so busy being active lately that I haven't posted on my healthy habits blog. I discovered the secret to physical activity. Find someone to do active things with. In the last week I have been on two awesome hikes, gone on two runs and played ultimate frisbee twice. I love that I've been so incredibly active and it doesn't even feel like a hassle or a burden to get out and get some physical activity in. It's just hanging out with someone that I want to spend time with and it's so fun. I also feel AMAZING. I have huge amounts of energy all the time and even though I've been getting a little less sleep, I don't feel as tired. I am having a blast and feeling great about myself too!

On a note about my eating, it has been pretty good! I ate a lot of home cooked meals this week (as well as a couple of out-to-eats...), and I've been having green smoothies almost every day. It's surprising, but they fill me up really well and I have definitely felt differences in myself as I've been consuming more fruits and veggies. I had red meat twice this week, but oh well. This girl will probably never say no to a burger.

All in all, I'm feeling great about my healthy habit goals! The goal for this week is to be better about bedtime...we'll see how that goes!

Well, I didn't run today and had resigned myself to ditching out on my exercise for the day. Then I found about ward sports night. I peppered a volleyball with two other girls for a half hour and then played ultimate frisbee for an HOUR! The sprinting, jogging, stopping, walking, seemed to be a good combination for my knees. They felt fine. By the time we finished, they were just barely starting to hurt. So I felt really good about that.

Playing games like this is an awesome way for me to get my exercise in because I can go for longer, run harder since it's a competition, and I also get to bond with people I've just met and make new friends. Best of both worlds right there. The best news is that my ward does sports night every Tuesday. I've never been the sporty girl, but you can bet that I will be there every Tuesday!
