I'm back ... on track!

Well. Here I am. Back at blogging. 

Last few weeks have been a little crazy, hectic, lazy and everything in between. I‘ve been working on improving myself professionally, academically and personally and the stress of it has caused me to crash and burn when it comes to my health regime. 

No gym! But a little running. 

Lots of sugar! 

Lots of carbs! 

Yesterday I managed to “finish” the article I’ve been struggling with, and I sent it off to two people to read it over and give me some feedback. Expecting to need to do more work before I send it off to journals. But at least I’m on the road of finishing it. I’m also working on other academic stuff that will influence my future. Stress!

At work, I’m taking a very interesting course in becoming a “tutor” in ICDP, it is very very interesting and is helping me develop further as a professional, but of course it is also stressful. 

And of course it is also stressful when you are working on developing yourself personally, so my life is filled with stress and worry. 

Not that it is necessarily negative to have stress in your life. I imagine that if there is no stress, you are very comfortable in your comfort zone, and I don’t want to be there so I’m happy for the stress. My problem is the way I tackle stress. I EAT! So, for these last few weeks, I have been EATING! Not good food or healthy food. Oh no! So I need to work on how to tackle stress and change without eating it away. 

Today is a new day and I’m giving it my all to change my stress-relief eating habit. Went for a short run this morning, and have already booked myself a spot at the gym tomorrow. Cardio Energy, here I come! I threw out the last pieces of chocolate I had and washed the ice cream down the sink! 

No sugar, no gluten diet. Here I come. 

Will keep you posted ;)
