End of a year. End of a decade!
I can't even remember everything that has happened this last year let alone the last 10 years!
I do know this has been a rough year mentally for me. Many changes at work leading to high levels of stress.
I look back at the picture above and just wonder where it all went wrong. I was so proud of myself. I lost 65 pounds and had kept it off for 3-4 years.
I switched jobs and started sitting at a desk 40 hrs a week vs working physically at my job for 12 hours a day. Slowly the weight all came back on and here I am....Last day of the year and I am 2lbs heavier than I was when I started 7 years ago.
I have decided that I will not let this get me down. I turned 40 and losing the weight seems so much harder. That is no longer an excuse. I will do my best and control what I can and see what happens.
I plan to run a couple of 1/2 marathons this year and in order to do that I need to get healthier. I just want to be happy. That is all we can hope for right!
So the advice I can give is treat ourselves like we treat our pets. Feed ourselves, get the health care we need and just try to be the best version of ourselves.
Here is to 2020 and another 10 years!
