This blog post will be a short one. It's moving weekend so I'm finding it necessary for me to be flexible with the gym and nutrition plan. My body (hips--I think my physical therapist will be upset with me when I get back to her) is already aching just from the few trips I've done to my new place with small boxes and wall hanging in the backseat of my car. And it's becoming increasingly more difficult to cook at the kitchen gets packed up. I know SO MANY of you can relate to this--I'm hoping that I can get back to everything a week from now and for the next few days, do my best to eat fruits and veggies and stretch out my body.
I do have to say, though, that when I got the key to my new place and realized that I would have a digital code to get into my building, I felt some of the tightness in my shoulders tighten. I have never lived in an apartment with an outside door lock. (One of my Boston apartments had the door lock removed, despite a break-in and stolen bike, because the woman below us sold cakes out of her apartment and needed people to come and go. The flip side: her cakes were delicious and our kitchen was always warm with the smell of sugar! Not a bad set-up during a Nor Easter...) They say that one of the best ways to manage weight is to manage stress. So perhaps my new place will be one more step toward life balance.
This is a project about finding balance in my twenty-eighth year. And losing some weight. This in the midst of beginning a longer-distance relationship with my partner, taking my PhD Candidacy exams, and continuing my mental health recovery.
