Keeping Up: Week 2
T.E. Reed Photography

Another week has passed, and I have to admit, I was horrible at keeping a video log this week! So much so, that I don't have enough material to give you all a video... so instead I am going to talk about my "wins" and "losses" this week! Wins are things that I have achieved this week, or general positive things that happened. Losses are goals that didn't go as planned, or stressful moments throughout my week. For example, not keeping a sufficient video log was an epic #lossoverwin

However, I do want to share a MAJOR win with you all this week!! I FINALLY created my own website/blog!! I'm still working out some kinks, and I am still working on buying the website domain, but it's finished for the most part :) and on top of that, I now have a Youtube channel you can follow, and an Instagram! Let me explain why I am so excited for this major chapter in my life...

I have always wanted to keep up my own blog, but the problem has been that I wasn't self-motivated enough, or self-disciplined enough to keep with it. Now that I have been processing my inner turmoils and voicing them on The Odyssey Online, I've found the courage to actually keep my goals and move forward to a better life.

More wins for me this week include the continuous achieving of my goal to visit the gym for at least three days a week. This week my roommate and I have pledged to add a fourth day and see how we feel. I recognize that I just feel 100% better and more clear-headed after I exercise, I feel like I could accomplish anything! I'm also more likely to reach for the healthier options when I get my exercise in than when I am sitting around all the time. Also, I find myself getting restless in classes that extend past 2 hours, whereas before i would be able to sit through a six hour class, no problem.

For those who would like to follow, I will be posting throughout the week on both my personal blog and my Instagram.
