I know I spent much of the last half of December complaining about how many Christmas cookies I’d been eating. But I’ve been back on track with some of the habits I’d established before December. I’ve returned to near daily exercising and I went back on my Advocare plan that I started before the holidays.
That, combined with eliminating junk food from my diet for an entire week, brought me back down to my pre-December weight. Yay!
And in another one of life’s great coincidences: While thinking about how I can eat better on a continual basis, and not just for one week, I read that Wickham Farms is starting a CSA (which stands for Community Supported Agriculture) where interested community members purchase a share of a farm’s harvest.
They are wonderful ways to support local growers, and there are many CSAs in Rochester. I’d been wanting to join a CSA for awhile, but for lots of reasons — read sheer laziness — just never got around to it. Sometimes I really need a kick in the pants! This time I had no excuse, and since Wickham Farms is practically around the corner from me, I joined.
Information about the Wickham Farms CSA is on their website along with a listing of upcoming information sessions.
It’s right about now that I start to lose motivation on my New Year’s resolutions. I have to remind myself of what Dory said in "Finding Nemo" (Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming).
I’ll see if I can remember this when I get up to run tomorrow morning.
