I Deserve Nothing Less

I've come to realization (well, more of an acceptance really. I already realized) that I need to get refocused on my health. I'm still not entirely consistent with getting up and making my smoothies (though I did this morning), and I haven't been to the gym since dad's been here. I'm also not getting in as many steps, or hiking on my days off. All of these things are a problem. I'm in more pain, I'm not sleeping as well, I have way less energy, and I'm not as happy as I am when I'm eating more raw foods, and getting consistent exercise. I'm just not getting what my body needs, and something's gotta give. Now that we're all getting settled into dad being here, I really have to commit to myself again. This is my written affirmation. I'm worth it. And on that note, this entry will be brief, because I need to get to sleep. I open tomorrow.

It was a normal day. Work (I opened), I ran a few errands, then Snookums and I took Kiki and Keenan to Battle Point to walk and play. I told Snookums my intentions (of getting back into the tried and true routine), and he being the sweet man that he is, is supporting me. We walked at least 3 miles tonight while the kids played at the playground. It wasn't the best weather, but it wasn't raining. Being out in the damp air (it wasn't raining, but the rains were coming), heavy with the scent of flowers was intoxicating, and instantly reminded me of exactly why I wanted and need to get myself back outside. Walking and hiking in nature. I need it.

I found out today that I'll be having a get-together with my district manager and the new district manager of North Seattle. I don't know exactly what this get-together will entail. All I was told was that Laura wants to "pick my brain". That could mean many things. Ironically, even though this sounds pretty important, I don't feel any particular way about it. I do what I do, and I don't waiver. Consistency is ultimately the key to my success. I don't mind sharing what I do, because my methods are time tested. I welcome their questioning.

After tomorrow I'm going into my weekend off. I've already decided regardless of what's planned, I will make time for the gym, and I will do my best to get a hike in. I deserve nothing less.
