For most people, the start of the new year brings a multitude of resolutions - the main one being that of eating better and getting fit. This may have to do with the gluttonous behaviors over the holidays and the resulting shame we inflict upon us. Either way, gym memberships increase as does the foot traffic into the gym. But as the month draws to a close, fewer people frequent the gym and begin to fall back on bad habits until their visits become once a week or stop all together.
For me, I gave up resolutions a long time ago. I just never saw the point. But I certainly understand the drive to eat better and get fit. And I certainly understand the ease to making excuses and not wanting to follow through on them. My main excuse: not having enough time.
A little bit about me: I am an artist, an author, and I work part time (currently while I continue to search for a full time job). Because my part time job doesn't pay my bills, I try and supplement my income through the sale of my art and my writing. This is definitely easier said than done considering that I need to devote a minimum of 40 hours a week for both side jobs. Add to that a punch-the-clock-working-for-someone-else income and there just aren't enough hours in the day. So, my sleep and eating habits are affected, while my exercise is down to zero.
As I'm getting older, I realize I cannot continue to neglect my health (because let's face it, without good health, I wouldn't be able to do the things I love), so i am taking on a spring challenge to get back on track! And in order to keep myself motivated, I have created this blog to hold myself accountable.
As with all things in life, there are no guarantees and I may likely fail in this endeavor. But life is all about the journey!
