Last Monday I was hit with some awful news, my boyfriend's father had died. It was completely unexpected. In fact, it's been a week and we still don't know the exact cause and probably won't for some time.
This event halted everything we had going on...work, food, exercise. There was a lot of comfort food from neighbors and a lot of low moments, but some good ones too. Surprisingly I did get some exercise last week as we had 4 days to completely pack and load up Dave's father's apartment so there was a lot of heavy lifting. I also took some time to use our hotel's swimming pool one afternoon when I had a little free time to de-stress by swimming some laps.
This face-to-face encounter with sudden, unexpected death has reaffirmed my desire to get where I want to be as far as health and nutrition go. I not only want to live a long time, I want to feel great doing so and the only way to do so is to treat my body with respect. Feed it right. Hydrate it. Use my muscles. Feel good mentally.
So, I've gotten knocked off the horse for the fourth or fifth time since we started this, but I'm not going to give up. Life is too short for that!
Oh my word! I had fallen off the wagon while you were gone, so glad to have you back!! Girl, this winter cannot end SOON ENOUGH. I wanted to ask you where you went hiking with your sister- might be a nice thing to do what with the weather warming up a little next week (in the 50's!)
