Everyone at some point or another might feel like they are being pulled in a million different directions. Its often forgotten in these times to just take a step back and breath and know that its going to be okay. Currently I feel like at any given time my head is going to fall off because its spinning out of control with everything I have going on. Trying to sell the house (which is a major pain in the ass), getting into grad school, doing the 21 Day Fix and just trying to salvage a normal life on the weekend it can be hard and it takes a toll. With so much going on its hard to remind myself to sit back and relax and just breath. Sometimes its easier to say it then actually do it.
Summertime = parties and BBQ's and Fourth of July was no exception. It was really hard to stay true to the 21 Day Fix, and I am not going to lie I slipped up because I am human. I had alcohol, extra sugar and probably extra food. It was super discouraging for me. I came down on myself because I put a lot of hard work into doing the program. Looking back on it now though, I had fun and I was more relaxed than I have been. So was it worth it to eat a cupcake and drink a few beers? Absolutely. With that being said I can't treat every day like a party. Unfortunately, I am no longer capable of eating whatever I want and not suffer any consequences. I have to work hard to hit all my goals. This does not mean I can't let lose and have fun, if you are not happy in life and constantly stressed about what you are putting in your body or hitting certain numbers at the gym, then you will never be happy. I want to be happy and have fun. I am 25! I should live life now to the fullest.
Along with everyone who struggles, I just need to find a balance. This will be easier now that the house is officially on the market and my grad applications are in. Since I can't control what the future holds for these things I am going to TRY (again easier said then done) not to stress about them. I just have to remember at the end of the day I have an amazing support system to help me along my path. This is something that everybody needs. If you do not have people to back you up and help you reach your goals it will be harder for you and you might slip up more. I know people who have amazing will power and might not need a single person to help them. I am not one of those people. Which does not bother me because I like going to the gym with friends and running in races with people I know. It motivates me to do better.
This week I want to remember to reflect on myself and how I am doing. I want to ask myself do I really need that piece of candy or can I live on without it. I want to make time to go to the gym and go back to using the 21 Day Fix as a guide to be better. But I also want to let lose and have fun. And I am so excited for this weekend because I am going to see If/Then on Broadway and DMB in concert on Saturday! Fun weekend yay!
