Destination Healthier Lifestyle

So I have began my adventure...again. Weight loss, healthier life, happier me. Sigh. It is not as easy as it sounds. I have been battling with a few addictions. Sour candy. Soda. Chips. Yeah...bad bad and bad! In 2016, I first began dieting and exercising. I lost almost 30 pounds and kept it off for awhile. Then in early 2017, everything went south. I got depressed...let's just say being discouraged to be healthy takes a huge toll. I gave up. Only exercised maybe 3-4 times per week instead of the 5-6 times. Started cheating on my diet with the bad foods and drinks. As of yesterday, I began drinking a mixture of apple cider vinegar (the mother), honey, and a full glass of water. Warmed. Then cooled with ice. Yum! Back in 2016, I did this and it made a huge difference in everything. I can say that yesterday my appetite wasn't as engorging as it usually is. And I did eat some sour candy, but I didn't polish off the whole bag like normal. This time, I ate 1/2 the bag. Which is an improvement. I tried to drink some Sprite, but only could drink a few sips then I was done. Exercise has been ho hum. I have been on vacay for almost two weeks and this last week I have been so busy working on my home I haven't had time. I know...excuses excuses. But next week I have to return to work. So I am going to try for one hour a day Monday through Friday when I can. And shall exercise when I can, whether it is morning, lunch time, or after work. I shall write like this is a journal of my ups and downs. It is very difficult but again I shall try.
