Just A Busy Times Check In

October 25, 2012 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Life is pretty busy right now.

I’m looking for a new apartment, a new car, trying to organize JuJu’s move here, and trying to jump back in at work. It’s a lot and at times it feels slightly overwhelming. Since this takes all my energy, blogging is low on my priority list. But I miss it. And you. So here I am!

Health wise things are… okay.

  • Stress: I’m slightly stressed but since I’m optimistic things will always work out for us I’m not too worried.
  • Weight: No clue about weight as I don’t have a scale (nor am I too concerned about it honestly). 
  • Food: Eating is so so. Some healthy meals, some less healthy meals, like BBQ last night. I’ve been doing great with intuitive eating tactics though and honestly haven’t overeaten at all. Despite lots of restaurant meals I actually feel good about how this is going.
  • Water: Drinking plenty of water though I need to get a new water bottle. Before I left NZ I felt a kidney stone shifting around so I need to stay on top on my water intake. It’s important!
  • Exercise: Here is one area where I’m not doing anything! I’ve been tired from travel and general activity the last few days (the days have been LONG). I want to get back into this by the weekend at least even if it’s just walking or biking.

So that’s where I’m at with things. Kind of a holding pattern really until I sort my life out but I figure that won’t take too long. Full steam ahead, coming soon.

    I bet you are busy! Things will slow down soon and you will get back to it!

    The exercise will help with the stress and the eating/weight will fall into place once you get settled. There’s no need to put a lot of pressure on yourself right now. Just take each day as it comes. :)

    I love your blog by the way. I check it every day to see if you’ve had time to post an update for us. :) It’s really odd now, though, because last week there’d be a post when I woke up because you were 12 hours ahead of me (I’m in Ireland) and now you’re 6 hours behind! Have had to switch up when I check your site. :P

      Thanks Penny! :) Ireland sounds like a lovely place. I’ll stay in this time zone for a long time so once I start posting it should be around the same time. I’m just waiting to fall into a schedule and get settled. That plus exercise will help everything.

      Thanks for reading! :)

    The benefits of exercise go so much further than weight loss alone! After I lost 25 pounds I felt like I was reborn as a new person! It’s true that everyday tasks become easier when you’re physically fit too. It’s just so worth it to make the effort to exercise.My philosophy of life is to enjoy life and share energy.
