All this thinking about the future and where I am heading has me realising that I am pretty unhealthy at this current point in my life. I eat too much, drink too much and do far too little exercise. I struggle with joint pain, i’m at least 10kg overweight and I probably speak pretty badly to myself on a way too regular basis.
It doesn’t help that drunk me at some point agreed to do a half marathon in about 12 weeks time and sober me now has to drag my ass around the course.
I’m also aware that our kids see everything we do and we really are not modelling even a half decent life to them… I mean who wants to aspire to watching T.V in the evening with a bottle of wine.
So this week I have managed to convince my husband that we need to really need to focus on our health. If I am doing all this work to ensure we have the retirement and future we want then we may as well ensure that we are healthy enough to enjoy it.
Clearly if we are to make it to retirement we will have to manage more than just one week. But I’ll tackle it one week at a time.
I thought about giving the 75 hard challenge a go but it would just be more constraints and thoughts running around in my head. So for now it’s smoothies, lemon water and lots of veges and protein it is. You never know where it will lead.
