Last blog I talked about investing in yourself and how I invested in a nutritionist\/accountability coach. I am now just over a week in this health journey and it’s amazing how such a short time has made such a positive difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes I’ve lost over 3 pounds but the bigger thing is I feel so much better. In just a week it’s been like a 180. I feel a difference already happening in my body. I have more energy. I am waking up earlier and not have to sleep as much. Of course I am getting my minimum 8 hours but before I was sleeping 10 even 11 hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel more empowered – more in control of my life and what I’m eating. In the past a naturopath casually recommended a mediterranean type diet and only gave me a few meal ideas and that was it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very concrete, defined, specific! There are no questions about what I should be doing each day. I love that. So often we are told “eat healthier” or “eat more veggies” and that’s great for basic guidelines but leaves lots of room for error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week we had our office holiday party and I really enjoyed myself! I didn’t over indulge. I had lots of veggies and protein. And I was introduced to Jingle Juice! I enjoyed a small glass and it was fun and I felt really good. Afterwards I felt great because I didn’t over do it. I stayed true to what my goals are. In the past I’d often mindlessly eat. Now really thinking about what putting in my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One things I’m also learning is don’t always have to be achieving or striving. I was strongly considering iPEC’s coaching training – sign up end this month and start March, but I am realizing this health journey is the missing piece to getting me in a better mindset and the right space to be able to help others the best I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other big thing aside from not having to achieve all the time is just having time. I love having time abundance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have time to plan meals, cook more, spend time with the dogs, and take daily walks. Having time that’s not planned to do things I enjoy – like reading this morning with cup of coffee. In doing those things I believe it allows me to be more present. In just being present, it might even be possible to actually make more progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coaching training may happen, just not yet. Along those lines, I am learning to have patience and be ok with not knowing the final destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for now I’m working my part-time dentist job, and do some blogging for a dental site. That’s it – not a million different things like before. I will have time for me. Time to write for myself, read, exercise, and make healthy meals for myself and my husband. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m feeling really great. I am feeling more positive and better able to show up for hubby, work, staff and patients. It’s not been that long, just over a week, and I’m excited to think about what I’ll be like in a month, 3 months, and 6 months. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
