Sometimes you just have to stop, sit back and think where am I going with this. What is my purpose of this blog? To help someone and honesty be heard even if no one ever really reads my blog. I can pretend, I don’t look at my stats. My house is a mess as I sit here recovering from a migraine. A migraine that got worse because I didn’t want to miss going to Orange Theory Fitness and maintaining my health goals. Podcasts are my go to inspiration on how to keep going and why I should keep going, shout out to Rachel Hollis and her Rise podcast! No you are not my cheerleader but you do inspire me to keep being better.
December 2018 I wanted to read a book every month. A healthy mix of inspirational, self help and entertainment (romance of course). Oh and educational, be a better Labor and Delivery nurse. I’ve read 1/2 maybe 3/4 of a book. Its almost March and I feel like I’m failing an English Lit class in High School. It’s not that I don’t want to but where is the TIME.
Organization, you can’t see me but insert eye roll and laughter. I am barely maintaining and post migraine I’m not even maintaining. Dishes in the sink, dog hair on the floor, a spare room that looks like a hurricane came through, I lost my OTBeat core monitor for working out (it was in the laundry, found after a full week!) and so much more.
Self care has been the one thing I have been consistent with, maybe. I do go to OTF regularly and LOVE it for the motivation and energy. However, my diet seems to one of a teenage girl that just broke up with her boyfriend of 2 days and the world is ending. Ice cream and nachos are my most recent indulgences. My heart health is getting better, resting heart rate is down, recovery is faster from cardio and sleeping heart rate dip is increased.
This is where I do my conclusions I guess, maybe extra credit? Reevaluation time and goal setting. I heard something the beginning of February that this is the month people loose sight of their resolutions. I didn’t make resolutions so maybe that’s why I am still going. I made life changing choices and THAT FEELS EMPOWERING TO SAY! I did not plan to type that, just like everything else I write. It comes from the heart and how I feel at the moment. I want to be real, no filter no edit… maybe spell check. I think I need to pick one thing to work on in March and tackle the others as the opportunity arises. Don’t worry, the dishes will get done, I have teenagers. Insert their eye roll.
