End of March, Ready for April?
I'm not going to go over every single goal from March. Let's just say I have had many setbacks. I knew if I put weight loss as a goal, it might be a mistake. And it was, I gained 10 pounds instead of loosing it. Too much stress. From work, family, big project, planning camping trips and this blog, I feel like I am trying to do too much.
So for this month, I will have only one goal. Make everything homemade. I'm not going to worry about recording every aspect of my life. I am learning that I have very high expectations as to what I can accomplish. If I were working part time or from home, I could manage. But as long as I work full time with the long commute, I just have to limit what I think I can do. Stress and guilt!
I mean, I could lie and say I'm doing all of the things on my goal list. But what good would that do for me? So yes, I have failed multiple times at fulfilling the goals I set out for myself and March has been the worst.
The highlight of this month has been going to visit the mother-on-law. And it was more about setting up the tent and playing at camping. I don't feel we really camped since it was in her backyard.
In April, we are planning a real camping trip at a campground we haven't stayed before. We're going to do all of our cooking at the campsite and stay for more than 2 days. In fact, if we can manage it, we want to camp for 5 days! That's a lot considering all of the other obligations we have hanging from our necks.
The big project is still going on, but we have hit a crossroads. We could continue on the same path that isn't getting us very far slowly, or upset the cart and try a different approach. Is that vague enough for you? It impressed me as well!
The biggest thing is to stay positive. I forgive myself for not reaching all of the goals I set up. In stressing about the goals, I forgot the main, ultimate goal. Get healthy. In my life, I have realized that it is easier to help others solve their problems and nurture them, than it is to take care of myself.
So to recap, this hippie needs to pull away from the societal stresses and obligations that are killing me and be....
Peace!
