Therefore I am trying to be strong,. I too have to change how I think/feel about me: and everything that goes towards my overall well being such as my unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. I’m actively taking control of my care, albeit in different directions than yourself: dietician, physical therapy and back to my psychologist.

The one thing we agree upon, is this is alot easier with support. I made sure I surrounded myself with strong, reliable friends prior to the start of this journey, and surprise, surprise, they are ALL still there. It makes it so much easier, especially on your bad days/weeks.

Good luck to you on sticking to your plan and achieving your goals.

Yesterday I went to te gym for the first time this year! yey

lets do this!

For rest I am already good at making sleep a priority, but I want to start using my ‘down time’ more wisely by doing things that fill me up as a person. Such as reading, gardening, listening to music, sketching etc. Instead of simply filling my downtime with Netflix.

Nutrition : My goals are very similar to yours. Due to allergies, my diet should be restricted, but I often tell myself that my symptoms aren’t THAT bad, so I’ll eat things I should avoid putting extra stress on my body. So my goal is to eat a mostly plant based diet that falls within my nutritional boundaries and to not feel guilty on the days I choose to make an exception, but rather to own my choices.

Fitness: I am planning on doing a 5k with my best friend this year. So I have put in place a training plan, so I want to be consistent with that so I am ready when the time comes.

Kim – Thank you for encouraging me to put my goals into words. I’m excited to follow along with your journey for the next 12 weeks, and hope that inspires me to undertake my own journey.
