Naturalle Drea

Okay so it has been about a month into this new wellness journey of mine and figured I would do monthly updates. If you missed the initial post, you can read it here: https://naturalledrea.com/2023/07/04/my-wellness-journey-2/

I feel like I did pretty well this month since I am just starting out. I knew it was going to be a bit of struggle but I can learn from this month and apply it from there. I really didn’t get to exercising like I wanted to this month. I took walks here and there but really wanted to get back into a regular routine. I’ll just have to adjust and figure out a schedule starting in August.

I kind of fell off on cutting back on the coffee towards the end of this month. I was doing pretty good with only having coffee on the weekends but there were some days I really needed it lol. As I said in my previous post, I need to find other energy boosting foods to help so I’m not reaching for the coffee lol. I’ll keep working on this. I lasted about 2 weeks without alcohol until we went to the Phillies game. It was only right to have a beer at the baseball game lol. I did have a drink or so a couple more times this month but proud of myself for not drinking most of the month. I did find alcohol removed wine and I really like it. I really love the Sparkling Brut and Rose I’ve tried so far. The Chardonnay tasted too watered down and the red blend was okay. I want to incorporate these more in the week and also find other brands of alcohol removed wines out there.

I am still drinking plenty of water and taking my vitamins. As for the healthier eating…. I was doing pretty well with bringing my breakfast, lunch and snacks to work but some days I needed to go out and grab something. I attempted to make the choices healthier but Chick Fil A is one of my favorite places lol. I did incorporate more fruits and veggies but not as much as I wanted.

I wouldn’t call this a total fail but a learning curve. I know what I need to do more of and make better plans to stick to them. I haven’t weighed myself yet and probably won’t step on until sometime next month. I am moving in the right direction and it can only get better from here.
