Too busy not to pursue health

Well, if you couldn't tell by my lack of recent posts, I got a little derailed from my health goals.

It was nothing specific or tragic. I didn't get sick or injured. I just got lazy. Granted, a lot changed. The crazy semester wrapped up, I started leadership training at work and I started an internship in the magazine division of the Charlotte Observer.

I soon realized that I was too busy not to be healthy. It wasn't long before my attention span dwindled, my energy levels plummeted and I had to stare at the same page for 10 minutes before my mind processed the words.

After two months of missing my gym visits, I am finally working out again - three weeks now. I started off with 30 minutes of cardio (seriously, I felt so tired and foggy that I could do little more than that) and I am now back into strength training classes - yay! Already, my mind is clearer and my outlook more positive.

That might also be due to the fact that I was published in the July issue of UCity Magazine (woohoo!) and have more to articles to come. My guess is that pursuing your dream does wonders for your helath:).

Well, to anyone else who got sidetracked, I hope you'll join me in jumping back on that treadmill. Who cares if January has come and gone - super fast by the way - July sounds like a wonderful new starting point to me.
