I lie to myself.
All the time.
If you were to interview my family, my friends, colleagues, bosses and even my client’s words they would likely use are; dependable, honest, integral …
And I am, I truly am. For other people, not myself seemingly.
I’m tired, of the lying, self-loathing, narrative in my own mind of how I’m continually failing my own self.
I’m overweight, addicted to wine, spend way more $ than I make, eat the worst foods for myself, don’t exercise, and frankly, lie to myself.
I’m a mom of two gorgeous children, a wife to an amazing husband, I’m a dutiful employee to an amazing organization and a spiritual teacher and healer in my community.
But I’m done.
I’m ready to start being honest with myself, I’m ready to be true to me. I’m putting myself first, I’m starting this blog, my third, as a way to stay accountable to myself.
To journal my journey from financially secure, to financially independent.
From overweight to healthy.
From desiring, caving and caving to bad food to nurture my body with the medicine food brings.
So to myself, I swear: From the birth year to the next – August 27, 2018, to August 26, 2019 I will
- I will lose 25 lbs and keep it off moving my body 4 days a week (starting weight 178 lbs) size 32
- I will quit alcohol, ALL ALCOHOL, All… The … Time! (Tea is my pal)
- I will put $10,000 in savings and investments 12% of my income (new money, not what is already there)
- I will cut down my personal BS spending by 70% (currently $2600 a month to $780)
- I will learn and practice conscious eating – and live by the mantra “food is medicine”
My reporting back to myself here will be
- Monthly Spending and Saving Summaries
- Monthly fitness summaries
- Monthly Nutrition summaries
- Monthly Mindset summaries
I will also use this space to just talk about life, going from untrue to myself to honest with myself.
If I ever get any readers, cool! I hope something clicks, I hope that I’m wildly successful in my pursuits and in turn, you start a journey to stop lying to yourself and be true to who matters most.
You.
I mean, Me!
