Getting Healthier

I have come back to blogging and am starting over yet again.  I guess the good thing is that I keep trying.  Both my husband and I stopped drinking soda as of yesterday.  I had a huge caffeine withdrawal headache because of it and went to bed hours earlier than I usually do.  I woke up fitfully, still wanting to sleep but also wanting out of a crazy dream.  I was tossing and turning for at least an hour, then my youngest barges in complaining of being hungry.  One more week of vacation for the kids and then it all changes.  They go back to school and I am going to start hiking at the mountain that my daughter's preschool backs up to.  I am calling an hour to myself.  There are too many times during the week where my stress level hits max capacity and I end up yelling and being frustrated.  I have to make myself a priority this year.  I am going to take that hour, make everything else work around it so that I can have a more effective stress relief.  Putting it into practice is the hardest part but I am hopeful.
