Hello 2021!

2020 was a year of change wasn’t it?!

So many things happened that it’s hard to figure out where to start. Lots of life happened and eventually I’ll get around to writing about all of it, but for now I need to focus on getting back to ME.

Shortly after the wedding in March, COVID hit and while it was (and still is) a scary thing, it gave me a gift I’d been praying for for a really long time. It gave me the opportunity to work from home so I could be there for my family when they needed me.
Everyone in the house got COVID, workouts were long forgotten, eating habits deteriorated and I have since put on a lot of weight.

Excuses:

• Covid
• Knee injury
• Tennis Elbow
• Virtual learning
• My own school
• Sinus Surgery
• Winter SAD
• Missing my kids

that’s what they are…EXCUSES

I stopped taking care of myself in the name of ‘taking care of everything else’ and honestly, it’s bullshit and it needs to stop.
So we’re going back to basics.

Here’s the plan:

• STOP EATING LIKE AN ASSHOLE
• MOVE MY BODY WITH INTENT EVERY DAY (30 MINUTES)
• DRINK A GALLON OF WATER
• PRACTICE ONE ELEMENT OF SELF CARE EVERY DAY
  • This is something I’ve been really struggling with since realizing I’ve put on weight.
    • Shower, facemask, spa treatment, paint my toenails….anything that says “I love ME”
    • Read a book for fun
    • BLOG
• DELEGATE HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIES

That’s were we are. Pics and measurements will be updated Monday 1/11/21 and we’ll go from there.

Please tell me I’m not alone in the struggle to reclaim myself this year.
Drop a comment with something you’re doing to improve yourself this year. I need the encouragement y’all!

 

Much love,

Amanda
