Yep, I was on vacation for the past week, which is why  I didn’t post.  I was actually planning on posting, but after Harper’s Retreat, I got sick.  I think it was a combination of stress (running an event, even a successful one, is stressful) and the fact that allergies are killing me, and poor Kate was so sick during the event.  I have a very depressed immune system even during the best of times, so it really was the perfect storm.  At least I had plenty of time to sleep (mostly).

However, when I get sick, or stressed, the first thing that goes is my eating habits.  I haven’t been exercising either.  Speaking of a perfect storm.  So this week, since I’m going back to work, it’s time to get back on the horse.  Tuesday is going to be hard – we’re going to the movies for Brian’s birthday, and I LOVE movie-theatre popcorn.  BUT – I’m going to commit to health, and that means no large popcorn.  A SMALL popcorn will be fine.  And a water – not a soda.  I need to do this – for me.  I need to reclaim my health.  So one thing I will do is tomorrow morning, before work – I’m popping some popcorn at home, and I’ll bring it into work.  I’m recommitting to the gluten-free way of life, and I’m going to be eating healthy.

I’m also going to be exercising.  I’m committing to exercising 3 times a week, every week.  I will be reclaiming my fencing lunge.  I’ll be getting healthy, and lifting weights.  I’m done being unhealthy.

Done.
