It's hard to stick with a healthy eating plan.
It's hard to stick to an exercise routine.
It's hard to get enough sleep and manage your stress in healthy ways.
This week has been hard. For a multitude of reasons, it's been very difficult to make healthy food choices. It's been hard to get enough movement and exercise with my knee still giving me trouble. My sleep has been off and my stress levels have been high.
It's just hard.
So....
For anyone reading the post who is struggling, I just wanted to let you know, I see you. I feel you. I may not know EXACTLY what you're going through, but I empathize with what you're dealing with. No matter if it's a small bump in the road, or you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I am sending all the good thoughts, positive vibes, and prayers for comfort your way.
It's not easy to push through when you're making progress and suddenly your progress is halted or completely stopped.
There have been MANY times this week when I wanted to drown my stress in a carton of chocolate ice cream and a bag of potato chips.
And that's where it helps to stop. Take a deep breath. And remind myself WHY I'm doing what I'm doing. WHY I am on this health and wellness journey. WHY I am pushing myself to eat healthier, move more, lose weight, manage my stress, and overall feel BETTER about myself.
I have a vision of where I want to go on this journey. I have the map for how to get there. There may be road blocks, speed bumps, and detours along the way, but I know that giving up isn't going to get me there.
I SEE YOU.
Harness your vision of your best self. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't let setbacks stop you from reaching your health and wellness goals.
Reach out if you need help.
Until next time....
