Day Two

Day two. No excuses. I've pretty much been excusing myself for the past.. I don't know, 5 years? Maybe longer. There was just no good time to start a whole new thing. I was too busy stressing. First it was about the pandemic. Then it's was about moving east. Then it was about leaving my life behind in BC. Finding a job. Moving north. Finding another job. Moving further north. Finding an awesome job that I loved- but didn't leave me any time to take care of myself. Getting laid off from said job. Stressing about getting my employment insurance.. it never ends.

I could be stressing about sitting at home. I could continue to worry about the unknown. Or- do what I can with the time that I have to jump on a path to healing. Thing is, there's always going to be things to stress about. I'm in a unique position now where I have a paycheck, a roof overhead, and time. About 8 weeks, as far as I know. And zero excuses. None.

I have a tentative job lined up for spring that I'm excited about- but my health has suffered terribly this past half a decade. It would be ideal to take advantage of having some time off and make it my full time gig to try and feel better. But it needs to be sustainable.

I need to build on healthy habits that I can carry with me into my next role. I have to curate a diet that supports my compromised vessel that's simple, healthy and enjoyable or I won't keep it up. I need to be consistent and persistent.

Today's snacks include banana oat squares with hemp nut, wheat germ, and flax- and lunch consisted of loaded avocado toast with a pinto bean spread and a cruciferous sprout mix that I'm now addicted to. Not a bad problem to have!

Though I'm doing all I can to clean up my diet, it's not perfect- yet. And it might not ever be. That's not the goal. If I focus on the good, there's a lot less room to consume the things that aren't good for me. Literally. Healthy fiber filled plant based foods are very filling. Crowd out the junk with the good stuff.



More to come, stay tuned..
