Healthy living for a month. Day #1

So I’m going to try and live through June considerably more healthier than I would otherwise do.

Therefore, I am planning on giving up Alcohol and Cigarettes for the month. I have learnt previously, that saying that I’m giving up smoking completely is a mamouth ask of the body and mind. Therefore, I’m going to do it for a month. Set myself a mental goal, that I can, if I want to, smoke again in July. However, I am intrigued by how I might be feeling. It’s a good exercise in understanding my own pshychology.

In addition to this, I am going to drink as much water as I can per day. Yes, if I’m being honest, I am being slightly influenced by the Volvic advert, but I’m intrigued to see what sort of difference it can make to my daily routine. In addition to this, I am going to try some new things – like tomato juices etc. I already like cranberry juice, so another healthy option would be good.

I am also going to use this blog to write down my thoughts and feelings throughout the month so I can articulate how I’m feeling throughout this process.

So then… to sumarise;

No cigarettes throughout June. No alcohol of any description throughout June. Lots of water to be consumed. Swimming at least 2 times per week. At least 20 high quality sit ups morning and evening. Play football whenever possible, or substitute it for another excerise if I can’t play. Give up snacking (biscuits with tea, pringles, packets of crisps etc) and educate my body to expect three meals per day.

If I can do this routine for a month I will be very interested to note my fitness levels and also my weight. It’s going to be an interesting month I think. I will be noting what I eat on this blog throughout June too.

Right then, here’s to a month of health!
