Life, Love and Balance

I need to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. Before I moved to Northern Virginia, I was comfortable in my gym. I was comfortable with my eating plan (admittedly, maybe a bit too comfortable).  I was comfortable in my relationships. I was comfortable in my job. Moving up to Northern Virginia has made me have to find a new gym, start a new eating plan, make new relationships, and get familiar with a new job (it's the same job title, but things are waaaaay different here than I'm used to). Change isn't a bad thing. And, I've come to realize that I have got to get myself back on track. And, only I can do it.

Right after Christmas, I ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis and gallstones. I ended up having my gallbladder removed, and spent the next two to three weeks recovering from that surgery. I am now back to work in the gym and on my eating plan. I am not perfect. Some days I'm spot on and other days I'm not. But I am trying. Old habits die hard, and even harder are those habits that resurfaced after I thought I had fixed it the first time around.
