Well, it's that time again! This month has been a whirlwind for me- went on vacation with family then a couple of days later got the worst sickness (ie: summertime flu) for that week home (caught it from my dad- he had it a little worse than me). I didn't feel like myself much of that week- I guess getting my life was getting put on hold for a minute until I felt better. I did manage while sick to even get some basic things done (ie: laundry, cleaning my bathroom, and washing all of my bedding). Even though I didn't have a ton of energy to do much, I still managed. After being sick, I managed to ease back into a routine some and that same week I started virtual therapy- talking to a therapist (that's not one of my family member's) has been making me feel good. Then when I thought things got back to normal, I went over to pet sit for my neighbors' the week after that. I enjoyed doing it for them but the reality of it all: I was tired, overwhelmed, and just done at some points of the time over there- I must have good patience or something. I thank my dad also for helping me with some things during that week of pet-sitting, too. Then within that same week, I had to go to the doctors' (which I dreaded) and found out two days later there were some things I needed to do.
Those things were: adapt to a (mostly) plant-based diet (I'll still be eating small portions of meat here and there but won't be the main focus- it's a side focus rather than the main portion of the meal), cut down to two cups of caffeine a day in lieu of my current 3, eat more fiber-based foods (ie: oatmeal), exercise 5x a week for 30 minutes (I made myself a workout plan- it's subject to change depending on what life throws at me/special holidays + such) and no more fried, fatty foods (this can be tricky if we go to sports' games). It was such a shock to my brain- plus it's all overwhelming, too. This, hopefully, won't be a permanent change- it's only to get my cholesterol down as high cholesterol does run in my family. Who knows if it will be a permanent change? Life is unpredictable!
Anyways, I thank you for reading the bit of life updates- normally, I don't do that for my monthly favorites but I like to keep you all in the loop of things (most of the time). Let's get into the favorites!
