Weight Check + Ready for Something New

[ad_1]

Hello, everyone! How has your month been? February is one of the hardest months for me personally. It’s nearing the end of winter but, not quite the end. I am anxiously awaiting the newness of Spring while also trying not to miss the beauty of the current moment. 

I am ready to get outside and reconnect with nature. I am ready to start the garden that has been on my heart and mind since last summer. I am ready to come out of hibernation.

If you are caught up on the blog then you know I have been intentionally hibernating in a sort of way this winter. As I wrote in my blog post “Striving in January” you’ll know that I haven’t felt like striving toward any goals this winter. Instead, I have felt the need to reconnect with the season by slowing down.

Now, as March is only a week away, I feel a sort of excitement for what’s to come! I don’t know if I’d consider myself fully out of hibernation quite yet. It’s been rather comfy here. However, I am starting to stretch my arms and dust myself off a bit. I am working my way out slowly; as slowly as the winter changes to Spring.

Something happened with my health in the past week that had me running to food as medicine again. I started being more intentional about eating leafy greens and taking my vitamins. I even checked the scale this morning and I’m happy to see that my little hibernation this winter did not cause much trouble there. During my time in hibernation, I was hovering between 230-235. Today, I weighed in at 229. I am excited for where I might be in a month from now if I keep treating food like medicine, 80% of the time.

At this point in my life, the number on the scale holds less weight compared to how I’m feeling. And right now, I am feeling good and ready to welcome something new.
