Clean Mind, Clean Body

I've been thinking a lot lately about what 2017 is going to look like for me, and I've been trying to compare it to what I've done RIGHT in 2016, and what I've done WRONG in 2016.

I've been pretty hard on myself when it comes to what I've done wrong - running 12 races but gaining weight, not taking my weight serious except for one day every month in order to finish the race, etc... but there's been good points. I've gotten up and DONE those races. I haven't been consistent on much this year, but I paid those fees, got up on those mornings (and few nights - night runs suck, btw), and put my feet on the road.

I've done some right.

But there's some bad habits that I want to fix. Things I want to shift when it comes to my overall life. Some things that I've been realizing lately have been pushing me down the wrong worm holes.

For instance, one thing I'm going to start doing is focusing my Facebook time away from politics (which you all know I LOVE), and focusing more on pages that are about healthy eating, healthy lifestyles and the like. If I spend more of my screen time being more POSITIVE, I'm guessing that will spread into my day to day operations.

I want to start spending more time on this blog - I haven't really done a good job of it. I haven't shown consistency, and it's shown. If I don't pay attention to my weight except for that one day a month where my back is coming unglued because I'm too heavy to be walking miles, then it's not going to come off.

So, one of the things I'm going to do this year is read inspiring stories, get fresh ideas, try new things all of the time, and try to stay away from the poison of politics.

No, I'm not going to NEVER know what's going on in the world, but I've already left 2 major FB groups that were polluting my brain and getting me angry over politics, and I will continue to clear the timeline until what I'm seeing is uplifting.

Much more later - and I'm hoping I'm more committed to this blog.

I'll probably start doing multiple posts a day, and trying to keep them from being SO long. I've got another 2-3 topics I want to talk about, but I'm going to hit the publish button before this becomes one of those long ones. More soon :)
