Post Moving After Thoughts.

Once we got back here to FL I have been overall in a much better mood. No joke, I have been walking every day either in the morning or in the afternoon and have been averaging 10k+ steps every day so I am pretty proud of that!

Initially the first apartment we were gonna move into was unrenovated and would have been on the 2nd floor. But before moving they notified us that the apartment was found to have some maintenance issues so instead they gave us a different apartment. This one is much better! In that it is partially renovated and on the 1st floor, plus we don't have to pay more rent the quote they gave us is still what we will be paying. So yay!

We've already been able to hang out with some of our friends and been seeing my step-family as well. They're pretty nice and welcoming overall so it is nice to spend time with them. Though I am still super awkward around everyone and all lol. 

Our first week after getting here literally was just us going from place to place, shopping, saying hi to people, etc. etc.. So much to do on our first week especially with having to pay extra for bills and such. But that is super normal when moving, all the initial fees and stuff but we were prepared and ready for months!

And the ride here was pretty smooth and we didn't run into any bad weather or super bad traffic. We did take a break in-between in some sketchy hotel but we didn't encounter bugs or anything so that was good! And then we made it on good time thankfully around early afternoon.

I really wanted to take a mental health break, but we are currently tight on money especially after finding out that his job is changed from weekly pay to bi-weekly pay. I'm currently job hunting, hoping I can land a remote/ at home job but if push comes to shove I may end up having to just get some job somewhere physically but GOD I don't want to go back to the service industry I'll probably cry.

This has bummed me out and I will admit I did cry because I really wanted to take a mental health break. I was so planning to start getting back into my hobbies again like sketching and photography and I wanted to take time to find a doctor to start therapy again.... But nope!

Before this, thought my job was good, I was still doing the draining 9-5 kind of work routine. Where by the time I get home I cook dinner and have maybe an hour of relax before I sleep or just sleep. And weekends were for trying to rest up, running errands and doing chores. It is such a draining kind of life to live especially paired with the fact I was living in NY a SUPER stressful place to live at all. So it sucks but I guess I gotta put on my big girl pants and just deal with it. 

I have recently weighed myself since I haven't done so in ages but I know I should sometimes to make sure I'm keeping at a healthy weight. Found out I'm 153 pounds right now for my height (4 foot 10) which isn't the best so I am working on that with better eating habits and being much more active now. And I am taking initiative to take my daily vitamins and stuff everyday and drinking lots of water! 

Little by little I will get healthier again. 

For me my weight has actually fluctuated so it really isn't a big deal for me, though I of course do get self conscious in waves as you do lol. When I can I will sign up for the nearby gym and start going there at least a few times a week.

I think the biggest challenge about getting healthy and staying motivated because man it can be super easy to be motivated for the first few days but then you have to keep doing it until it is a habit as easy breathing.

And I guess finally, overall, I am very happy we've moved back. Though we have some challenges to overcome for now, I know we will be okay and that it will be fine no matter what. We've got each other and we have made it this far and all that is left is for us to just keep on chugging along.
