New Year – Better Late than Never!

marcetheblogger

Hi all,

This is a rather late post considering it is now March! However, I still wanted to share some of my goals for 2020 because I feel it is a way to hold myself accountable. I want to have a way to reflect on what I got done and what still needs work throughout the year as well as at the end. So here it goes!

  1. Lose weight
  2. Read 3 books
  3. Become an academic advisor
  4. Stop being or trying to be controlling of what I can’t and shouldn’t
  5. Learning to trust again (if I learn to be more trusting, I feel it will help me be less controlling)
  6. Becoming better at communicating (I can write things down easily, why can’t I just express myself the same way…ugh)
  7. Save $$$ (continuous goal, but sometimes life hits! No more excuses though!)
  8. Making additional income (this can help me save more…Marce Edits?)
  9. More blog posts (currently need to work on this!!)
  10. Saying no more frequently (self-care is the best care!)

Self-care

Hi All,

So last weekend, I went on a quick weekend getaway to Jamaica. It was much needed and made me realize that I have seriously been lacking in taking care of myself! It is crazy when you become so caught up with work, kids, chores, errands, and you forget about taking care of the SELF!!

Throughout my coursework these past two years, we focused on the importance of self-care and how people in the counseling profession need to care for self first. I definitely get an F on that! But today, I decided to write about it as a way to hold myself accountable.

In the past few months since my son was born I lost weight and gained weight. I am NOT where I want to be today in regards to my health or weight at all. This definitely takes a toll on my self-confidence but I know I can change it! This past week I have been eating better and eliminating snacks that are unnecessary calories. I managed to work out three times and hope to do it more often or for longer sessions.

Throughout the next few weeks, I am hoping to stick to these lifestyle changes I am making yet again! I will let you all in on my journey to being healthier and slimming down!
