Turns Out You Can't Lose Weight If You're Burned Out

Well color me surprised (not). 

I can't lose weight while being so burned out I give toast a run for its money.

I should rename this blog "Starting Over", but this is a realistic look at how having a good plan doesn't always mean you can execute it. Life has a way to slapping you in the face... you have to deal with it. Here I am. Dealing with it. I won't give up on my health- or myself. Every odd can be against me, but I just won't do it. 

Today I stand up again--- readjust---- and make a new plan.

Strategies I've been working on lately:

1. Accept that you're burnt to a crisp
2. Stop doing a ton of stuff... like almost every non-essential thing
3. Drink water
4. Go to bed, even if you don't fall asleep

If that sounds simple, bless your heart- it's bloody hard.

It's the perfectionism that stops me from posting. I write about my health journey everyday, but don't post it which is insane, because almost no one reads this blog. So, the joke's on me. But, I have to remember that I am paying for this site to help even one person, and I am letting that motivate me to write here.

I've set up a reward system for myself. If I post once a day for 90 days, I will get some amazing weight lifting shoes for myself :) Here's to day one 🍹 

My 100 day plan failed miserably. It was biting off much more than I could possibly chew with my circumstances. I've scaled waaaaayyyy back, and I am so happy about that. 

Today I am dressed for a bike ride and gearing up to do some decluttering which always makes me feel better. 

I'll be back later to update this site and share the things I've been writing in my journal, but not sharing online.

If you feel alone, you aren't. I'm right in the trenches with you.

Hang in there. We can do this.
