RUH ROH!

WOW.
Leave it to me to start a blog and then quit! But I have to say so much has happened in the right direction it is insane. Let's recap.
 
I MADE FRIENDS!
 Now, when I say friends, I don't mean my typical "you-give-me-the-time-of-day-so-i'm-going-to-do-whatever-i-have-to-so-you'll-stick-around." These are real friends, somewhere around a dozen of them. And a new best friend who empowers me so much and reminds me to tell myself I'm awesome. I've been going out and having a great time. I can't even believe that I went from uncontrollable social anxiety to being an in-demand social butterfly!
 
I KICKED BUTT AT WORK!
 I've learned new things, drastically improved my performance, and become someone people look up to.
 
I'M GETTING MY SHIT TOGETHER!
 I'm doing better at staying on top of my bills and managing my money. I've also been keeping the apartment much more clean and really feeling motivated in general.
 
BUT HERE'S MY BIG OOPS!
I keep putting my health on the back burner.
My weight as of yesterday (announcing to the internet universe): 198.
On a 5'3 girl, that is just unhealthy.
 
The problem?
Mucho takeout, a desk job, and an autoimmune disease that leaves me forever sleepy.
 
The plan?
FOCUS on doing what makes me feel good in the long run. Move more. Moving feels good! I need to stop sabotaging myself. I'm going to post every Friday to help keep myself on track. I downloaded a very cool app on my phone where I log all of my food. How convenient is that?
 
What happens to the bucket list?
It stands, but without a deadline. Priority #1 from this moment on is my health.
 
If there are any readers out there that can offer any advice or stories or any motivation, please reach out.
