simple, doable, but is it enough?

Since September I've had the goal to exercise a minimum of 400 minutes each month. The first two months I surpassed that by another 200 minutes - this last month, not so much. I found myself taking a couple steps back in the healthy department. I can't totally bash myself, I did clock 422 minutes, so I did meet my goal; however, I haven't been the healthiest eater lately. I've been playing with different goals that I can try to do with food, but it is really hard for me, because reality is that I have a hard time sticking with food goals - ESPECIALLY this time of year! I know in order to make a difference in my body, I have to stop eating as much sugar and start eating more veggies and fiber. In the summer I do a decent job of this with all the fresh food - but in the winter, it really is a struggle.

Any ideas on how to approach my food intake? I don't want to be on a "diet". I just want to keep healthy eating that stays regular, not just for a couple weeks.


In other exciting news (that I forgot to share a couple weeks ago!) - I made it to SIX miles jogging!!!!  I was soooo proud of myself. I'm tempted to not only try for a 5K, but possibly also a 10K next spring - now that is a fun goal to think about!  :)
