Im back - aka another run

I'm back and no I didn't give up. I did however move, start 2 new jobs in addition to the one i have and attempt to live the lifestyle of the insanne. Basically I have to take a 2+ week break, in which i didn't give up exercising but rather got my workout in in the format of mopping, carrying boxes, scrubbing toilets, dancing and a whole bunch of other things. Sometimes you have to let life get in the way and just remember that if you are at least moving, than that is better than nothing. Sometimes there have to be priorities that are not running and after the effort of this move, I had to keep a couple of things to be more important than sticking with the program in the front of my mind. Like - having a place to live and unpacking enough clothes that i would not have to show up to any of my jobs completely naked. And possibly even buying enough food to feed myself every so often.

But i did go back to the program this week. And though I took a few steps back, I wasnt where I first started out at, even if I did go back to week 1 and again. In some ways, it feels as if i will never get out of week one but you know what? That still more running than I was doing a month ago and I am working hard on being kind to myself. Kindness is just as important and letting myself live the kind of life is just as important as working hard to get to the life i want.

I am also, now that I am in the new place, in a lot more control of my diet and that should be helpful as well. bring on the fruits, veggies and homecooked meals. In fact, in the aforementioned shopping, most of what we got was pretty healthy and a lot of raw ingredients. They say in a lifestlye change, 80% of the change you want to see in your body, your health and your fitness is controlling what you eat and I can believe that. So this month, that is also a focus on mine, know that any food changes i make I want them to be sustainable, lifelong changes.

Really the point of this is to change my whole life. To find the kind od fitness, health and balance I ultimately desire.

And always remember this quote “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”
