This is a crazy big year for me.

I am about to begin my last semester at Franciscan University. Today marks the beginning on my semester of Student Teaching, continuing wedding preparation, and about 4 months till my wedding day!

I’ve made some “new years” resolutions… but they are more like life resolutions. With this crazy busy few months ahead of me, I need to get focused, organized, and disciplined. I’ve noticed an increasing amount of spiritual and physical laziness in my life that has been increasing in the last year. I made a lot of excuses, like I had to get enough sleep, I need to do homework, I need to work more, I don’t have enough time to pray, Mass is at an inconvenient time…. etc. 

I just don’t feel healthy and I need to spend time working on myself so I can be physically and spiritually healthy, for me and for my future spouse. I have dieted in the past and have been successful, but I want to have a continuing healthy lifestyle. not just a healthy period in my life where I gain weight back and have to lose it again. I’ve noticed that physical and spiritual wellness are definitely linked and I am hoping by disciplining myself in both will get me back on track.

I also have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). My fiancé and I are doing NFP in preparation for our marriage, and it is absolutely imperative to exercise and eat a healthy diet in order to conceive children and keep PCOS symptoms under control.

SO with this being said…. I will hopefully be keeping myself even more accountable via tumblr and keeping a type of update-journal on here. Please keep me in your prayers!

PS…. updates to come real soon are my and my fiancés adventures with our new juicer…. which should be hilarious. I envision it tasting delicious, but in reality it will probably taste like grass. I’ll let you know. :)
