Finished a complete Whole 30 a few weeks ago! Dropped 10 lbs in the process and showed myself I can stick to a goal if I work hard enough for it. A great thing about it was I chose to complete this while I was completely out of my normal routine--off from work and doing a play at night (so my habits were out of whack anyway, a great time to start some new, better habits).
I had my depression meds increased a bit. I'm anxious about my child switching to a new school and about increasing demands at my job--I will need to keep a lot of plates spinning in the air, like most moms, right? So after moping around for a day or two as I get ready to return to work, I laced up my sneakers and went out to do Couch to 5K, Week 1, Day 1. I just decided I must take control of my mood.
Off to run Week 1, Day 2 now.
