My performance level has been inconsistent during different times in my life which has lead to frustration. But honestly, I’d say that part of being human is going through natural ups and downs and figuring out what works best. For me the greater joy has been the self-discipline and self-reliance that develops along with sticking to healthy living by eliminating toxic foods and eating a balanced diet in combination with exercise. My personal journey towards health and wellness has been filled with obstacles along the way. I’m still designing a way to figure out how to properly balance my time for healthy meal preparation and time for my family and friends through the course of a 168 hour week.
