Starting the Journey..

Day One

Woke up mouth screaming, head pounding, my wisdom teeth are coming in. "With all this pain today is not the day to start something new", I thought to myself. But there is always some excuse. Most of them time the case is, "there is just not enough time in the day" to workout, put that laundry away, cook a healthy meal, and still work a full time job. As a single mom I truly believed that.

Covid-19 happened and I took a look at my daily habits. Being home alone really gives you room for thought. Here is what I came up with:

- Netflix is toxic. I have been a victim of binge watching and I have come to a conclusion it is a waste of time. Yes, you deserve to relax after a busy day; but for six hours of mindless shows, I felt that my time was more precious than that.

-Doing the dishes (which is the worst house task in my opinion) will only take 10 minutes if you just do it while you cook or right before you eat. Instead of waiting days to do them and it takes two hours than your entire day is gone.

-There is a certain time to yell at your child. With all the stress surrounding life, I have become really impatient and if my daughter asks me one more time about watching her tablet I might scream. But she isn't causing physical harm to herself or anyone else by asking me question. She's just bored. As much as this has been a change for us, its a huge change to little ones growing and learning. No interactions with little friends or guidance from her teachers, I have taken on both of those roles. And it's scary. So I've come to the conclusion that everything else can wait. Just play.

-Take a break on Social Media. Same with Netflix, do I really need to know what Karen had for breakfast? No.

So here I am trying to better myself, one day at a time. Some things that I invested in for this journey are Herbalife Powder mixes for shakes and teas and well as the Body Boss Guide that has guided in home workouts. Now I've had the workout guide for probably over a year now but again those excuses came up.

No more excuses! I'm ready to get out there and start this journey. Join me.
