Think of the solution, not the problem.
It’s December.
4 months ago I decided to do for me, to stop crying and whining and start DOING. Was it easy getting to this point? Oh hell no, lol, because life happens.
I’m working two jobs now, doing what I have to do to keep things going. It’s hard, it’s rough, and incredibly tiring getting by on just 3-4 hours sleep. But at the same time it’s completely invigorating. I had a problem, mapped out the plan, and now I’m executing the solution. The same applies to this tranformation because I haven’t given up on ME.
I can’t get to the gym, but I do bodyweight exercises at home. I walk from the primary job to the evening one (one of the benefits of living in NYC). Bottom line, I’m still taking care of me. Maybe not the way I had originally planned or would prefer but I adapted…and I have a 16 lb loss to show for it!
Nothing worth having is ever easy, but God is it satisfying going after what you want!

Good for you. I also live in NYC, and I agree that walking is AWESOME. I have been known to walk all over this city because sometimes being on the train is just depressing.
Life doesn’t always let us do things that we want to do, but we make the best of our circumstances. Good for you

Way to take those lemons and make lemonade!
