I am an optimist. But I am tired. I have become distracted by the things that weigh me down, which has stripped me of doing joyful things that keep me optimistic. Over the past year I have gotten further and further away from my physical well-being. I have gone from doing Zumba almost every day, to sitting at my desk most days for a job I actually love. Where did my wellness go? I have decided to enroll in this challenge to help kick-start what will fuel my vibrant energy again. To give me a chance to feel life in the way that I enjoy- and in every area of it. It starts with me, I know. So I am here. Without fanfare and announcements to take control of not only my physical health but my mental health. Lord knows I need it. The next 8 weeks is where it begins, again.
