Life Changes

I swear I am going to get back in the swing of things!! Lately our life has been consumed with work and moving preparations! I feel like we have so much going on but are living in a state of chaos!

We started packing so we now have boxes all over the place and bare walls! It makes it tough to be at home and to want to do anything! Half the time I'm overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done and the other half I'm exhausted from everything that I'm doing!

It doesn't help that work is as per the usual stressful! Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my job and the work I do but I also sometimes wish for those slow days I used to have at previous jobs! I hit the ground running at 7:30 AM and by the time 4:30 hits and I'm on my way I am just mentally spent! Maybe that's why coordinating this move and all the details that go with it is making me feel exhausted! Regardless that's life and I am beyond excited to start our new life in Nevada!!

So as I'm complaining about being exhausted and how much stuff we have to do the other little thing I'm considering to start is called Team Beach Body. It's a workout program and you can start as just participating or becoming a coach and participating. I've been looking at doing this for about the last month and have been doing research upon research but feel stuck in making the decision!

Should I wait until we move and are settled in our new home or should I just say screw it and start now? I hate "waiting" to reach certain points to where it would be the "right time". Because isn't any time you want to start something healthy the "right time"? And isn't there always going to be a million reasons to not do something?

All I know is that weight watchers isn't working as well for me this go around. And what is honestly missing from my life is the fitness motivation! I fell in love with running a few years ago and after a few injuries I took myself out of the game! I have regretted it ever since but it's been so hard trying to get back in the habit! I seriously am lacking any and all drive! With the Team Beach Body it gives you challenges to complete and a million streaming video workouts! I like variety and I'll accept a challenge any day...so maybe this is the right move for me?

I've been following some of the coaches on instagram and I really am inspired by them.

So what's my hold up right this second from signing up for a challenge? The money and that we are moving and I am slowly losing the space to be able to work out in my living room. But if I want it bad enough I'll do it right?? And I really do! I want to work out again and feel the joy from it! Ideally I want to start running again and since we'll be in a residential neighborhood in Nevada I think I'll feel more safe! Not that the area I live in isn't safe. It truly is but I also live off a busy street and getting up at 4 am to run in an dark area just gives me the heebe jeebes! So I am determined to start running once we are in Nevada but what is holding me back right now? Myself.

Anyone with thoughts about Team Beach Body let me know! I've heard nothing but good things and I really really want to get myself back on the fitness train!
