Looking back a little

Happy Hump Day! And happy belated May Day… someone sent this to me yesterday and it made me giggle.

April is over and so is the WEGO Health Writers challenge. I didn’t do so well with this “challenge”, and that’s okay with me. I realized that I approached this challenge the way I approach working out, or eating healthy, or anything else.

• I was open to and happy to have inspiration
• Thinking about posting every day or not at all stressed me out a little, so I posted when I could.
• When I did post, I felt good about what I put up, I didn’t just go through the motions for the sake of posting

Get the picture? As much as I love blogging, the rest of my life gets in the way a lot of the time. And as much as I love running and working out, sometimes sleep is more important. And I’d love to be able to make all my meals from scratch every day, but sometimes I just need to order out.

When I blog, work out, cook… I want the end product to be worth my time. I’d rather have 3 quality workouts in a week than go to the gym 6 times and half-ass it… what a waste of time that would be.

I am not an all or nothing person. I thrive on structure and a daily schedule but I don’t like being forced to stick to it. It has to be on my terms.

So while I was supposed to post every day in this challenge, I didn’t. Because I strive for a healthy balance, and driving myself nuts to post every day really wouldn’t make me feel very balanced. I did really enjoy the posts I wrote and thought of other posts to write for the future, so… thanks for the inspiration, WEGO!

What’s your inspiration??
