Can't hide it, it's been awhile. Too long. We are coming to the end of our time in Barbados and I'm not gonna lie - we both have one foot out the door. We're looking into opening our own restaurant in Scotland next year and all of our hopes and dreams hang on a few small details.
It's hard to stay in the moment and focus on what's going on around me when my head is stuck in the future. I think it's a common problem. Not just for me, but for all humans.
But, I've been realizing lately that I need to slow down and focus on the here and now rather than worrying about what the future may or may not bring. There are a million things to worry about and focus on, and I've been neglecting the things that this blog was supposed to help me focus on (diet, exercise, and not pulling my hair).
So, an update. My diet has still actually been pretty good. We still cook almost all of our meals at home from fresh (mostly because we have no choice here). I think I'm generally eating pretty healthy, but there is definitely room for improvement. Exercise - not so good. I still walk my dog every day in the evenings but I'm down to exercising (usually a jog on the treadmill or a swim) 1 - 2 times a week. Lame, I know. Not pulling hair out - terrible. I'm back to doing it. Not worse than ever, but I definitely pull a few out per day.
Stuart and I have vowed to go back on our health regimes starting today, and tomorrow morning we are doing a new routine together - we'll walk the dog in the mornings together before he goes to work and then I'll treadmill him in the evenings so I can jog outside. I hate, hate, hate jogging on the treadmill. I don't know what it is, but it bores the hell out of me. More tomorrow.
