Primary Blog/Health Journey (Daily Updates)/Starting "Day 1" of My Health Commitment

Starting "Day 1" of My Health Commitment

Thursday, August 17, 2023

Alright... it's 9:36 p.m. on a Wednesday, I'm sitting on the brand new couch just delivered to my new apartment, 50 pounds overweight....

..and here I am contemplating how I got here.

I'm kicking myself.

I'm better than this. 50 pounds overweight!?

"Who am I???"

"Who have I become??"

"And am I happy with that??"

Those are the voices in my head. They're berating me hard.

Just two years prior, I had visible abs. Abs! I could do handstand push-ups! I was confident. My skin was clear. My hair was luscious. My smile was bright. I BELIEVED I was beautiful and worthy then.

I felt in alignment, then. 

I felt excited to wake up each day, then.

I'm writing this today because I want to bring the, "then", back to NOW.

I've done too much dabbling with my health. A lot of poor decisions and inactivity has gotten me to where I am now. It's going to take work, both feet 100% in, 100% commitment to get back to where I was.

On the bright side, this is my opportunity to relearn for myself how to truly be healthy. How to live with confidence. How to move my body. How to treat my body with love and nourishment. It's time to define my journey.

My first health journey was driven by my mother, fighting for her own health and me really getting dragged along... I honestly don't remember much of how it happened... mostly that I went gluten free, dairy free, soy free, sugar free for quite some time. I don't remember many other action steps that I actually did. Here's what I can remember that might have contributed to making so much progress in such little time the first time around (maybe I can use these ideas moving forward on this journey).

  • ​Weekly team workouts for varsity golf (always weight lifting)
  • ​Twice weekly workouts at the golf room (mobility, power, combo of HIIT, weight lifting, stretching)
  • ​Golfing 4x+ weekly - getting in lots of steps and exercise PLUS drinking lots and lots of water
  • ​Walking around school from classroom to classroom
  • ​Doing yoga (practicing hard poses like "the frog?") and planks in my room
  • ​Mom made dinner every night.. a combo of protein, 2 types of veggie (roasted or steamed or raw), plus sauerkraut with each meal
  • ​Each meal I took supplements (I have a list on my old website of all the supplements I took)
  • ​I was working on my gut health.. I had specific tests completed and worked with a holistic doctor to address root cause of gut issues... took bad tasting supplements and powders and pills...
  • ​I ate lunches at home.. usually leftovers from the previous night... 
  • ​I was practicing piano daily (hmm related.. not sure.. maybe?.. discipline?)
  • ​I think breakfast was usually skipped.. I was just learning about intermittent fasting then...
  • ​I literally considered gluten, sugar, candy was poison. I would not touch it. I did not cave. I thought I was doing it right and everyone else would pay the consequences one day.. It paid off...
  • ​I only drank water. I had lara bars as snacks most of the time. 
  • ​I wasn't snacking often.. no chips, no pretzels, no gummy bears, no candies, no sweets other than dark chocolate...
  • ​We ate dinner at a table, together each night. We went out to eat 1x a week I think... I'd order from the gf menu.
  • ​I was reading and learning about health consistently? sort of... for my blog I was reading and learning
  • ​I was not easting fast food of any kind, ice cream, popcorn, etc...
  • ​I was attempting to meditate daily (and also trying to astral project.. another story)
