today is day 39 of my habit. I am walking in the morning because one I think I have a little bit more time in the morning than I do in the afternoon, and the rest of the day feels a little bit unplanned since I have one of my siblings coming into town. today I weighed myself again, and I took my picture again, and I am showing up again to the coaching that my my wellness coach had given me. My commitment was to weigh myself and take a picture on Mondays and so I’m doing that again. Part of the reason why I chose walking is the goal was because I originally chose AI as the goal and it felt a little bit too hard to achieve. A part of that is that I felt like my real goal for the year was more wellness related. I had already started on a weight-loss journey for the year and I was about 10 to 12 pounds down and so to add another objective in front of me felt a little bit daunting. And what I’m learning in this process is that goal setting and goal achievement has a lot to do with focus. My focus for this year is to get to a healthy weight ideally 129. I currently weigh 167.8 pounds. so I have about 38 pounds or so to go. But I am aligning my daily actions with that. I am back to tracking my food. I am going to show up for my check-in with my coach, even if she doesn’t show up. She has been a little bit absent, but I don’t truly blame her because I know she has been busy and I have not taken her coaching to heart. it’s interesting to me that it’s taken 38 days to get here. To get to the point where I can trust myself in showing up to my commitment around this one goal. But the more that I follow through on just a single hour a day, the more I realize that it starts to seep into other areas of my life in the best way possible. I’m also learning that the way that you feel right before you do something, sometimes I feel tired, exhausted, and motivated has nothing to do with how I usually feel afterwards, which is accomplished relieved sometimes still a little bit tired but mostly relieved and with more love and admiration for myself.

so today is my day 38 of walking one hour day. I started around six or so and I really actually didn’t want to. It’s Sunday and I have been feeling a bit sluggish today, but since I was watching TV all day I figured it’s good to leave the house and while I knew I had to get my walk in today so I said I might as well. I am sharing my journey on Instagram and on here and you know I’m realizing that there are so many opportunities for me to critique myself as I go on this journey because every time I feel myself walking, I have all these thoughts about how I look about about I feel and I’m learning to tell myself that it’s OK to be starting over again. Even though I have committed for almost 40 days to this journey with my health, I do feel like I’m starting over. I let go of my habit of tracking my food and I gained a few pounds, but not all this lost because today I jumped right back into tracking my food and I trust that I will stick with it because I’ve stuck to the habit of walking for this amount of time. I’m also learning that I may need to learn how to enjoy life a little bit more even when I have accomplished all my goals even when I don’t look the way that I wanna look, even when I don’t earn what I wanna earn I can still enjoy the every day. I am choosing to breathe and to enjoy the present. And to trust the journey. As long as I continue to show up every day and give the best that I have for that day overtime the results will come.

today is July 9 and my day 35. I am happy to be completing the walk for over a month. The past month has been a little bit of a whirlwind because I’ve committed to a lot personally but now is some things are getting off my plate I’m seeing that I’m creating more breathing room in my life. well I’m not seeing these massive changes in my health, especially because I’ve been eating like crap for two weeks, staying consistent with this he gives me something to come back to that I know is good for me. A walk a day feels like a type of home that I can always return to for a sense of peace, sanity, and energy. I can only imagine what I feel like when I’ve done 10 times this in the confidence I’ll gain from knowing I showed up for a whole year. Admitting not every day has been perfect the hour hasn’t always been consecutive, but I’ve shown up to the best of my ability.
