Has it been 8 months already?...
It has been. 8 Months since I started this wellness journey. I'm pretty happy, though I have a ways to go. I am still off sugar and down to a small amount of caffiene a day - 1 cup of coffee vs drinking 6 or 7 diet cokes a day. Water is my main drink of choice. I don't drink as much as I had earlier in the journey, but I am still drinking it! I've gotten stronger physically from swinging an ax everyday for about 2 months. I cut down 3 trees and worked on the stumps everyday till they were gone (2 out of 3 that is). I feel healthier. Yeah I have aches and pains, but they aren't as debilitating as they once were. My Chiropractor and I are working on my pinched nerves... and making quite a bit of progress. I'm all caught up on my health screenings and I'm surprised I'm healthier than I thought I was. Well, at least I'm getting there. The weight, which is not the goal but the progress meter is coming off slowly. I am down 40 pounds. Not too shabby! Though of course I could have done more, but I'm not going to do things to lose weight that I know I won't keep up. My main exercise has been mainly: Keeping myself busy. And it's worked. Plus the affect on my mental well being has been great!
I'm actually pretty happy. And have embraced this life change.
