A year from now
you will be glad you started Today
you will be glad you started Today
-Karen Lamb
A
hundred days have gone past. There was
no grand success. I have barely broke
even. After writing and posting two
essays on failure. I decided to take
time and reflect on what went well and what didn't. I successfully posted an
essay almost daily for a month. Each
essay on 100 days was health related and met the 300+word challenge, I gave
myself. I was beginning to feel like the
writer, I keep claiming to be. Then
unforeseen circumstances happened and I didn't have a plan b. I was off-track and reeling. It was horribly easy and frustrating. I would love to say that I am back of the
track but I am not. It is May and I have
not posted an essay on any of the website blogs in two or more months.
It is disheartening or at
least it would if I was giving up. I am
calling bull on my
expectations. I half
ass a lot of things in my life. The
results are no results. I will be honest
if I had a decent paycheck. I would easily
be about 250lbs. As long as I could
dress myself decently and fashionably and I could fit comfortably in size 22
jeans. But I am fumbling financially and
live month to month. I have no job
prospects and no real time to pursue them.
I am however a care giver to family member. Care giving can take over your life, if you
let it. I am not complaining and I feel
that even this is not getting the 100% it deserves.
It
messes with my mood and I probably compensate with food. This essay is about failure. I can’t get away from kicking this dogs. I will be attempting next essay to write
about improvement and positive endeavors. The focus will be wellness. Mainly because the word is used so
freely. Wellness conjures up, yoga,
meditation, exercise and balanced meals. Good simple things that everyone
should need, have and want.
However
there is an obesity epidemic in this country.
I am one of the causalities. This
week I will be defining wellness again. Then
three examples of what I think wellness looks like in my opinion. I will also be mindful of my food choices,
exercise and drink more water than coffee.
