Well it’s Monday, 11th January 2010. Christmas has been and gone & we are well into the New Year.
I have made 2 resolutions for 2010 to get my Driver’s licence & to get fit, be healthy and hopefully shed some unwanted kilos!
I went for my first driving lesson in over 2 years last Friday. Before the lesson I was having a load of anxiety (which i never get) about driving. I have been putting off getting my licence due to nerves, but I did it.
The lesson went for 2 hours and it was great. My instructor was very positive and said that I was doing really well, so I have booked another lesson for February. In between classes my mum & mother in law have offered to take me out on the road!
Initially I thought I had to log 50 hours of driving before going for my Provisional licence test but the instructor informed me of a change in law that people over the age of 25 can go for the test at any time. So yes, with a few more professional lessons & driving with my mum & Sue, I am hoping to be on the road (by myself) within a few months.
Now onto the health kick – I have decided to kick start my new ‘healthy lifestyle’ with a detox. My friend told me about a plan that has something to do with Alkaline & Acidic foods, I didn’t really understand the purpose but the foods allowed seemed super healthy so I thought I would give it a go.
I looked on the internet to see what I could find and it mentioned that to maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.
After the initial detox I will incorporate some dairy products back into my diet and of course allow a ‘naughty’ day here and there.
I hope to pair this healthy eating plan with at least 3 visits (min) to the gym each week.
