new year, healthy me

maintaining balance is difficult for a person like me who tends to be in extremes. problem is, i usually don't notice being off-balance until it has become a problem that i feel. this time my problem came as stress and the flu during the holidays, which surprisingly has encouraged me to actually start this healthy blog thing.

other "resolutions" i have realized since i was sick last week include:

1) restarting my yoga routine so that i can feel reconnected and balanced

2) abandoning (even whole-wheat) flour-based foods, because my body really doesn't digest flour well

3) decreasing caffeine (coffee or tea) to one cup per day, after which all will be decaf so that I can stay better hydrated

4) increasing fiber intake, especially via fruits and veggies

Mostly I'm returning to my roots, which i easily stray from for months on end when i am stressed and/or busy. I want to monitor via this blog to see if my stress level becomes more manageable and my mood improves as i return to a healthier lifestyle.

I'm also deleting all other blogs and consolidating in this one. Yea me.
