I’ve been slacking on myself. It’s funny how you don’t realize how much more you actually can tolerate until it’s crept up on you.

For instance, I share a shower with a roommate, but the rest of the bathroom is mine. I do manage to clean the other parts of the bathroom, but the shower wasn’t well taken care of. It was disgusting, mold and layers of odd-colored black, reddish and orange stuff. Yes, it’s been there for awhile and I got so accustomed to it that I didn’t “see” it until yesterday. It dawned on me that the gross stuff could come off, I just needed to take the time to clean it. Haha. So I did and it felt so great. I’m never letting that happen again!

Same thing happened today. I was talking to the guy I’m seeing, and we discussed how we weren’t monitoring our eating habits very carefully. Rawr. It’s so sad, I knew what I was doing but yet again I was being pretty passive. The talk was like a slap to the face, but in a good way. I’m motivated again. I really need to work out/jog on a more consistent basis and at the same time cook more food for myself and just eat a little healthier.

Why don’t we acknowledge it when we just let things happen to us? We know something is fixable yet, we still put it off to be dealt with another time, if even that. My health and well-being should always come first, yet I don’t always prioritize that way.

Have you had a sudden realization and decided to be active about it? It’s amazing how much better one feels with getting back control.
