My Current Situation Part V

To be writing about my current situation less than two weeks before the Happy New Year says a lot (smile).  It’s not like I haven’t had the time to write, just not finding too many different things to write about…

 

 

But I’m still that girl who likes to see the glass as half full so I am going to talk about the positive things that have happened to me during this ongoing Covid 19  “trial.”

 

 

1).   I am happy to say that I am still working Hybrid (Day 1 working from the office, Day 2 working  from home and so on and so forth).  Truly the best case scenario for me as it is undoubtedly the best of both worlds.

 

 

2)  Eating unhealthy foods and going to town on snacks is not an option for me this holiday season due to the social distancing rules in place surrounding people, places, open food, etc.

 

 

3)  Since I am spending more time at home now I find myself cooking and eating clean more.  What is clean eating?  Clean eating essentially means eating foods that are closest to their natural state, i.e., unprocessed and unaltered.  Also it means avoiding foods that are full of empty calories.

 

 

4)  Truly one of the most positive things that came out of this Covid 19 “trial” is that I stopped drinking wine.  Pre-Covid I would not be caught dead at a house party or a live play or a social function or a post-work event without a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir or Malbec in my hand.

 

 

But I can’t lie.  Due to my past history of multiple car accidents which have caused me much trauma and stress when driving on certain highways, my therapist diagnosed me with what is called “situational anxiety” and put me on a very low dose of Lexapro (20mg).  Then she pretty much ordered me not to drink any kind of alcohol because, as she described it, it would be like taking a big eraser to whatever positive results I might be experiencing from the Lexapro.  I took that as a posititve sign and swore off Alcohol about 6 months ago.

 

 

And I must say I feel much cleaner these days swapping out the red wines for  organic and sugar free Remedy Kombucha, lots and lots of icy cold water and/or hot Green or Black tea at night.

 

 

5)  I quit my old gym as it was starting to feel redundant and joined a new gym called I Love Kickboxing.   Now I don’t feel sluggish anymore even when I pop up at 430am weekday mornings to kick and punch things (smile).

 

 

nor do I feel as tired at night like I used to when I get off of work…

 

 

So my current situation, as of today, is enjoying my newfound healthy living…

 

 

and looking forward to the Happy New Year!
