Day 19 - Now: The Course, The Wagon, and The By-Week

Turns out, this is a lot harder than I expected. I mean, I eat decently around 70% of the time I would say. But eating properly 95% of the time is so hard. Especially when things happen. I'm an emotional eater and I think the fact I can admit that is something to celebrate.

I had my personal training course this last weekend. And while it was challenging physically (hello lack of sleep and driving across Calgary) it was hard mentally, and surprisingly spiritually. The instructor Andrea, is hands down, one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I feel blessed to have gotten the opportunity to meet her and be included in her class. She challenged each of us. I learnt so much more than just personal training this weekend. I feel like this weekend has set me on a path to self discovery. I have always been a spiritual person. I have always loved the hippie things like reiki. I feel like this is going to be a big change for me. I feel it already. Looking at yourself in a mirror is hard. It's hard to admit what you're doing is wrong, or even what you're doing is mean. I hope to start this journey to myself, and maybe document what happens on here.

Otherwise, not much has changed, I'm taking a by-week with rest and relaxation. I need to recharge my batteries. I always forget about how important rest is. I am bad at that. I need to get my rest. I need to recharge and stretch. It's such an important part of any healthy lifestyle and I totally forgot about that. I was focused on something totally different. Now I am going to learn to take rest days, enjoy them and not stress about having some time off (or for that matter, time at home with my kid)
