As one of my favorite cousins would say, "Anywhoozle!" This time I think that I'm really going to try to focus on a new journey I'm on! I dunno if I need help with self reflection on this trip or if it's cuz (I dunno if you've heard) we're in a world of quarantine due to a virus spreading. I never thought that would EVER be a thing, but sadly it is.
My new focus, as it has been so many times before, is health. YUP! Another. Health blog. You're welcome! In the beginning of this quarantine I wanted to give up on all the things. What's the point with all this craziness... If I wanna eat everything and lay on the couch in a pile of puppies and Netflix all day that's fine. Well it was. For a week. Then I realized I cannot lie to myself, I don't feel great in that life style. Yeah, I could get away with it sometimes but not everyday. So, I'm gunna be healthier. I tried the Keto diet in 2018 and IT WORKED, like seriously. I lost 50lbs. 2017 was not a great year for me or my family (and over half of it was during my 1st year of marriage) so it was definitely stressful. Does anyone ever mention sharing your life with someone, forever, all the time, is hard? Well, it is! I digress, the diet worked then I kinda got lazy. All of 2019 I sorta maintained... then at the end of the year, back to back vacations followed by... You guessed it!!! TONS OF STRESS! Not that I currently have no stress (today I'd say I'm at a solid 7) It's not really about the stress is it? It's always going to be there. There's no way around it. However, we can choose, we should always choose, ourselves and our happiness and wellbeing over stress.
Agreed. Easier said than done. And listen here, I'm a "present-realist" (just made it up, I like it too) I'm all about living in the moment and feeling your feelings... but you have to give yourself a break too. Like this, dare I say, adventure... I know it will suck sometimes and I will hate it and I will MAKE MISTAKES. But I have to keep trying. Keep trying to be a better me. We all do. It's what makes the world go 'round!
Alright, here's the plan! No big thang... same as it ever was... Eat better. Move more. Be accountable. I'm gunna try. You can come with me. Cheer me on. Stop reading this. Whatever you want. Be you. Be happy. And hopefully, be healthy.
Thanx for reading... Here we go!
