Today is DAY 1 of me documenting what I HOPE will be my new "health journey" which is overall really me struggling to feel ok. I have gained 40 lbs in the last 2 years. After starting anti-depressants (lexapro) I have put on a lot of weight. Not only weight, but I am noticing signs of pre-diabetes, insulin resistance and PCOS already lead me much closer to that, I am ADDICTED to social media and scrolling my phone for hours on end, I NEVER exercise, I have severe daily brain fog and struggle to concentrate whatsoever. I have NO energy, I have been clenching my jaw which is leading to chronic daily headaches on TOP of my already bad headache condition, I am ALWAYS tired and fatigued and I am struggling to keep up with life. These are symptoms, NOT excuses - I have done this to myself. I have allowed myself to get to a point where I don't exercise, and I eat far too much.

I am hoping that if I am able to do somewhat of a document of my experience with this "challenge" then maybe it will help me to be more accountable. Normally I do things and THEN talk about them, but I also want to be more present online and so I thought it would be perfect to document that. I DO talk about factor in this video (i have done one sponsorship with them in the past) and that is where I was introduced to them. this video IS NOT SPONSORED. I purchased factor myself and i decided for my first week to do 16 meals to help me stay on track and as I go I will start meal prepping my own meals at home with local organic food.

The challenge:
- TRY to stay off social media as much as I can. SIGNIFICANTLY reduce my scrolling online.
- Exercise daily 20 minutes on my peloton OR 1 hour outside of strenuous work
- Eat healthy meals (not strict keto or anything) just much healthier and better portions
- Drink water.
- only weigh myself once weekly
