Hello internet,
It's been a while since m last post, though I HAVE still been chipping away at my goal of improving my life one day at a time, I haven't been the greatest at documenting it. Instead, here's a quick rundown of the significant things that I've done with my life in the past several months.
I've continued to maintain if not improve my physical health through a two pronged attack involving continued exercise and general activity level in my day-to-day life. As well as revamping my diet with the fabulous products at a local Herbalife health club. I've had about two weeks of replacing an average of one meal a day with an aloe shot to help with nutrient absorption, a green tea mix to aid digestive health and boost metabolism, and a meal replacement shake high in both fiber and protein to satisfy me and to keep me full until my next meal.
I have also tried to step up some of my personal goals in life in order to keep myself moving forward. This has come in a number of different areas. First I decided to enter myself into the Frozen Feat 5K that's coming up soon on Feb. 16th. This is to help keep me inspired and motivated to work out (which I unfortunately haven't been the last week or so...but tomorrow's a new day). I have also been working towards making my life a bit more comfortable financially by both applying for multiple part time jobs and, in the meantime, signing myself up as an independent distributor for Herbalife products. This is all in the hopes that I can finally get EVERY one of my monthly bills paid by myself (the rents have graciously been picking up the car insurance, phone bill, etc. for about a year or so now) and start on repaying them for that as well. Lastly, I've been keeping my personal life and free time interesting by picking up a few new hobbies to dabble in and expand my set of general life skills. I have picked up crocheting, a skill I tried to teach myself a few years back and only got about ten rows in before setting it down indefinitely. I bought a sewing machine to work towards altering and tailoring my own clothes so that I feel more comfortable and confident in my own body (and eventually to tailor and sew my own garments to save some $$$!). Lastly, I took up Hardanger, a form of Norwegian embroidery that my grandmother used to do regularly, and created a doily for my grandfather's funeral and just over a dozen Christmas card inserts for that entire side of the family's presents.
The one thing that has happened in my life that wasn't planned, but is still helping me move myself forward is that I've started my first adult relationship! We met back in late October, and since we're still together and not at each other's throats, I'd say things are going great, and I'm looking forward to the next three months and beyond.
As porky the pig says, Th-The-Th-That's all folks. My last 2-3 months in a nutshell. I look forward to continuing my life's journey with renewed vigor in the following month. I will also be doing my best to try and post at least SOMETHING daily to help me make this blogging thing a habbit, the once a week thing was obviously too easy to fall off of the wagon with. This may mean a few more pointless, just because sort of posts, but I will try to keep these brief.
Best of luck to all of you as you take on life one day at a time!
Matthew
