healthy

Maybe you had the goal to lose some weight in 2021. Maybe you tried and you just gave up. Or maybe you said you know what give me a couple months and I will get back to it. It doesn't really matter when you start to lose weight.

My poor not so little dog. She was put on a diet a little over eight months ago. Her vet said that she was a bit chunky and that was leading to some health problems.

We know what the term hangry means, right? We know that we get so hungry that our anger comes out. That is when we know that we need to get some food and pronto. It really is a thing.

I know we want to have a decent looking body. We want to be healthy. We want to be in shape. We want all of this. We want fat to be the part that we get rid of....that is not necessarily a good thing.

So I really thought my daughter was losing it when she was at my house recently.. I know she loves bananas so I made sure I bought some. They are usually a staple at my house anyway.

Do you normally get a flu shot? I will be the first to say that I have not in years. I am pretty sure that I will be getting mine this year. I mean on top of concerns of getting the actual flu this year we also have to worry about covid too. All at the same time.

I have a daily ritual. I get up in the morning and head into the bathroom. I put in my contacts I can see and before I get dressed for the day I want to see how much I weigh. I know that weight can fluctuate throughout the week.

Maybe you were not one of those who took the early part of the year to start healthier habits. I get it. It was a weird time. We didn't know what was going to come next. Some people lost jobs that they have had forever.

With everything that has been going on so far in 2020 there is no surprise that we have faced some challenges. There have been many stresses, from running out of toilet paper all the way to losing jobs and illnesses. It has been a crazy year.

I have pretty much been the healthiest person over the years. I hardly take a "sick day" at work. I know as I get older things start falling apart, for lack of a better way to say it. This is the year I discovered I had high blood pressure. Sure, with all the stress 2020 has given us of course I do.

You look in the mirror every day. You notice you may have gained a few pounds over this craziness we call 2020. So now what? Are you looking to lose it before the reality of the holiday's hits you?

I know it seems why should we bother smiling this year. The year 2020 has been challenging for a lot of people. There have been lost jobs, lost opportunities, missed celebrations, just a lot has gone on.
