The Twinkletoes Tip Toe

Heres To A Year Of Better Habits, Positive Thinking, Clean Eating, And Most Importantly, LOVING YOURSELF!

"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step." For the last couple of month's i've been tip toeing towards my health goals. I't's hard to take the leap of faith to dive into a strict clean eating and organic nutrient based diet. Some people can jump in and swim just fine, but I need gentle coaxing to help me make healthier choices in my diet. I tried Whole30 for a day or two....it did not go well. I couldn't manage going cold turkey and it soon became apparent that it was not the "diet plan" for me.

Ugh can we all just roll our eyes together each time I or someone else say's diet!?! I hate that word. K hate is a strong word, but I really REALLY don't like it. Isn't funny how a simple word can effect your life? That cruel and raging word dictated my thoughts and actions for years. I refuse to let it define my worth any longer. I have a daughter to think of and in no way do I EVER want her to feel that she has to change her body to be loved and feel beautiful. I want to be a positive roll model to her, I dont want her to remember a mother who was constantly counting calories and jumping on the scale every morning. I want her to know that I loved my body enough to treat it right. That you can exercise, eat healthy and still have your cake too.

It's the little choices we make everyday that define us, it's cliche but true. It's my small steps towards a healthier lifestyle that's making waves for my family and I. My husband loves to tell me that Football is a game of inches, not yards. Its all about the small steps, the inches, the tip toeing towards the end zone that decides the champion. We all deserve to be champions of our bodies. So whether your running, leaping, or taking your healthy lifestyle one step at a time... you've got this girl! Dont give up on yourself, keep heading in the right direction and you will go far.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence them, is not an act, but a habit."- Aristotle

Start making small choices everyday, eat healthy, get up and move your body and put your best foot forward. Everyday is new chance to be the best version of yourself. Thats why I love my clean.fit box. It's a monthly subscription service that brings the healthy treats, supplements and goodies right to my door. Having access to foods I wouldn't normally seek out for myself has really opened up my pallet and helped me be more creative in the kitchen. Which is huge because I'm normally a "fend for yourself" type of cook, and my chefs special is cold cereal. But i'm hoping that by tip toeing towards a healthier lifestyle, i'll be able to turn these small acts into lasting habits that will benefit my family.
