The New Year

Last year, if any of you read my blogs, you would have seen that I started writing posts on how I was changing and growing during my year of being 30. It started off really well, and it got even better once I started doing 75 Hard. I got in the best shape of my life, and my body and brain felt so good. Then, it slowly fell apart. Can you guess what happened? I started drinking alcohol and eating sugar again.

I wasn’t going a crazy amount with either of these, but it was enough to affect me. In the fall I had a huge psoriasis outbreak, that I am still trying to figure out the cause of. I have some gut issues that we are working on, and I am back to struggling with my focus. So, guess what we are back at? I’m done drinking and I am going to limit my sweet consumption quite a bit.

This is the year to get my health under control and to be in the best shape again. Shaun and I are considering starting to have kids in 2025, so I feel like I need this year to set myself up to have amazing habits before kids come around. I’m already aware that I won’t be able to do all of the things I can now once we have them, which is why I want to try and get it before.

Now, it is the new year and my theme for this year is health. I am going to push myself to be the healthiest version of me. It won’t just be physical health either, I want my mental health to be top notch as well. I am going to limit my time scrolling social media, I am going to start putting myself out there and hanging out with more like minded people, and I want to start working on some new hobbies. Right now, I mainly do work in most of my free time, but I want to learn how to sew. I have the sewing machine, I just need to spend time using it.

What are some things that you want to work on this year? What is one thing that you told yourself you were going to start a year ago and haven’t yet? If there is something, then just start. Otherwise, it will be the beginning of 2025 and you will be mad at yourself for not starting a year ago. Stop letting yourself down and just fucking do it.

Keep pushing yourself
