Episode 24: Burned Out - Jan 27, 2023

Hey mates, it's David. Today is Friday, January 27th. 

It's been a few days. The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. Or in this case, the lack of podcast episodes.

I'll be honest and up front. I got burned out. Especially trying to say the same thing every day, but in different ways. It's tough. 

Especially when, at times, I just don't have the energy to do things. I want to meal prep, but I also want to relax and just have downtime. I want to walk, but I've got homework to review with the kids, or doing things around the house. I know, I know...  some of these things are excuses. I'm good at excuses and making reasons as to why I couldn't do things.

It's been 27 days since I started this with well meaning intentions and a goal, and with a positive mindset. I tried to keep that positivty, but sometimes, I just can't hold it. A lot of times it's easier to keep doing the things I've always done rather than do the hard things to change.

However, I made a commitment to myself. While I may miss days here and there... I will come back. I will continue to hold myself accountable and also try not to beat myself up too badly. There's 365 days in the year, and we're only 27 days in. Baby steps are still steps, and we... I.... will make progress towards my weight loss goals.

Thank you for still listening to me, and being here. I appreciate you all.
