New morning ritual weather permitting

-
About to go on a 2-3 mile walk then take my bosses Latin fitness class. Then I'll have about 1 hrs to get ready and leave for work.

I also am starting a Kathy Smith women over 40 workout and meal plan - which is more in line with what my Dr and a nutritionist friend have recommended in the past. Whats great is ive realized my current meal track is about 75% in line. I just have to improve what im eating by about 25%!

As I'm walking in this moment, I'm making the decision to 1) walk 2 miles this morning and 1 after work later, 2) listen to an audio book during my walks, 3) make sure that I get my mind right and prepared for each day during this walk even if it means I pray the whole time, and 4) find an accountability partner.

So far during Covid-19, I lost 4.7, gained 3 back and lost another lb. So I'm at 2.7 lost. Though I've been mostly at peace in multiple ways, I know that my body likes to shut down with any kind of stress. Armed with that knowledge, I will be diligent to change that habit. 

Now to switch over to my current audiobook...Heaven by Randy Alcorn.

Have a great day, y'all!

The emotional and physical struggle bus

-
This has not been an easy emotional and physical week. It's only Thursday but it feels like it's been a week and a half. It started Monday morning when I couldn't get out of bed because my back was not happy. I don't know why either because I had slept okay. But I literally couldn't move. My roommate was still out of town so I got very worried that if I couldn't figure out a way to get mobile that I wasn't even gonna be able to get to work. It took an hour and 12 minute. But by 10, I was finally able to move and walk around. I do not know why my back just shut down for that time. I'd recently had the random feeling of being in the middle of a lesson and my lower back feeling like it was gonna give out but it doesn't it. I don't know if anyone understands what I mean...however, I know there's 1 person I talked to who said "yeah I know exactly that feeling." It's a very weird feeling. It kind of tells me if I'm doing too much ...

What's up with me??? and planning for the future

-
"Hi, My name is Tiffany Ellen Pereira and I am mistake-prone. My last mistake was this morning." I feel like I should be in mistake AA! Silly, ridiculous mistakes. Not that I haven't made them before but right now they seem to be rampant. I'm working through them every day but I'm tired of making mistakes - and I can't seem to stop them. I think I had a good day then - womp, womp - I wake up to a mistake. My process: What?! How did that happen? I know better; why did I miss that? then I think about how I can change it, if I can change it then should I do it now or is another time better, then I proceed. Though I don't beat myself up anymore - too badly - I still am writing this article about it. I hate it. I've employed so many things to get better but recently I'm just going backwards - at least in my book. I can be happy and excited at work now - that's a plus. But I still am doing silly things - not just at work - but in life. For example: i...

Last 4 day week, and "Fun July"

-
Today begins the last of the four day weeks we've had since we first returned from the pandemic closing us down. We started at three days - well, about 2 1/2 days - and have slowly gained more days. Monday, July 12th we go to half day Mondays. Technically, it will be 4 1/2 days for awhile but a full five day work week is just around the corner.  It hasn't been easy but its been cathartic, too. Three day weekends are awesome. You feel like you have time to do your weekly chores AND have down time/fun time. When your business suffers from something so freaky though, having to go to a three day weekend is not always good for business. It is however good for your mental health if you've been overly stressed, whether you know it/knew it or not.  In the past year, this is what has happened in my neck of the woods (brutal honesty here, with vagueness to keep peoples privacy): Both studios shut down for 2 1/2 months completely. Learning that my job/business is considered non-essent...
