016 | Fresh Start
Our foundation, plumbing, fence and floors are fixed and we are back in our home. To celebrate I did some much needed gardening and weeding plus irrigation for one of our beds for only $100. This week I wanted to recenter my self based on the previous two week stretch.
Once again, reflecting on the foundational pillars of my journey, from health and wellness to financial independence, personal growth, and more, I'm committed to setting short-term, attainable goals for the next season in live.
Join me as I embrace the journey with renewed purpose, determined to find progress even in moments of rest. This season will be from May 1 - June 1. Our friends wedding is coming up and we will be traveling so I will recap my previous goals and set new goals for the next 4 weeks, Taking in mind work hours, a local art festival partcipation and other responsibilities.
The Last 2 Weeks
As we lived in temporary housing, we tried walk 3 times a week and cut down on refined sugar.
Results: We walked 4 times in 2 weeks which is better than 0 for sure.
Also for sugar, I listened to a YOUTUBE VIDEO about eating more protein earlier in the day to reduce sugar cravings and I think it helped.

This Next 4 Week Sprint
A “Sprint” is a “ short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work.”
Over the next 4 weeks I want to focus on Inflamation while preparing for jet lag.
Inflamation
Here are some podcasts and Youtube videos I’ve been learning from as I prepare for improvement and awareness in this area:
Sugar Cravings with the Glucose godess
Zoe: Findings from the world’s biggest study on intermittent fasting
Zoe: The Best Time to Excercise
And up next on my playlist is:
Zoe: Inflammation and your gut: Expert guidance to improve your health
Jet Lag
In 4 weeks we will relocate with an 8 hour time difference. So we need to move our sleeping schedule at least 4 hours
Let’s Make a Plan
Eat 2-3 Servings of Fermented Foods daily and set a fasting/sleep schedule with a minimum of 100g protein daily.

In the midst of chaos and upheaval, I've taken a moment to assess where I stand on this journey, recognizing both areas of progress and opportunities for growth. Despite setbacks and challenges, I'm choosing to approach this period of rest as an opportunity to recalibrate and set new, achievable goals. From prioritizing health and wellness to navigating financial stability and pursuing personal growth, each pillar of my journey holds its own challenges and victories. As I continue to navigate this temporary disruption to my routine, I'm committed to embracing the journey with renewed purpose and determination. Join me as I strive for progress, even in moments of rest, and pursue a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
Here's to a journey of purpose, progress, and a life well-lived.
