Making healthier choices...

I am a VERY goal-oriented person, which surely gets in my way sometimes, but it also helps, I set certain goals and boy can you be sure I stick to it... example... NO ALCOHOL during pregnancy, while some say a glass of wine won't hurt, in my opinion it certainly won't help either, so there will be absolutely no alcohol for me in these 9 months... I was as mentioned a bit overly strict with fast food, let's face it, I am wayyy too much into fast food... but I can proudly say I cut back by about 90%!! It is a treat now, what it definitely should be anyways, I am cooking at home more often and trying out some of the health hype things like 'Green Smoothies' and healthier cereal, adding lots of fresh fruit and chia seeds, my body will thank me for sure... I love the fresh taste and it feels good knowing that you treat yourself well... I really enjoyed my 20s with lots of partying, drinking, eating bad stuff, not enough sleep... well, the good stuff lol I got to create fun memories, I feel like I lived it up... and now I've reached a point where cutting back on certain things feels natural... out with the 'craziness' in with the 'mommy-mind'... time for the better choices in life, it is not just about me anymore... I am going to be present in my children's lives, not too busy partying it up, or emotionally unavailable, I have the best intentions to be in balance and I feel confident that I am going to mostly succeed... I have prepped myself for this choice for a long time, I'm ready!!
