A Break From Reality: The Calm Before The Storm

Hey Everyone! Don’t worry I did not forget about sharing my journey with those of you who made that decision to come along with me. I’ve just had a million and one things going on, and it’s like one thing after another.

After my last blog I just had so much going on with my finals for school, starting a new job, going to California and moving to my new place. Every week there was something to be done and I kept saying, “Dilia sit down and write your blog today,” and I never did. Bad on my part! Sorry, I know I have to stay consistent and that is something that I am working on.

Now let us get updated on what’s going on currently and what is to come. Guys, I have a confession to make….

I have been eating TERRIBLY and I haven’t been working out.

I have been telling myself that it is because all the stuff that I have going on, but that’s just an excuse and there is no reason for my poor food choices and lack of exercise. But I am changing that… (Hopefully). That is actually something that I would like to explain further. This is a process and I will have my ups and I will have my downs, but I want to remain honest not only with my readers but with myself.

This journey is all about me making my dreams come true and I have to remember that the journey is not an easy one and that it’s not only about how many successes I have but also about all the failures I overcome.

My weight is something that brings me down every single day, but yet I haven’t found the motivation to change, even though it’s something I want to desperately change. I guess the nail isn’t bothering me too much. And I know I just lost you but let me explain.

My mom told me a story that she heard from one of her motivational speakers that she listens to. The story goes like this: there is a dog that sits on a porch whining all day long, and a guy that walks past the house every day asks the owner if something is wrong with the dog, the owner says, “Oh, he’s just sitting on a nail.” The guy then asks, “Why doesn’t he move then?” The owner then replies, “The nail must not be bothering him that bad.” When she told me this it really hit me.

How many of you complain about the same thing EVERY day but NEVER do anything to change it?

The nail must not be bothering you that bad.

Believe me; I don’t say this to upset you because I am right there with you. But guys today is the day to change that. No excuses!

Just one little change can make a world of a difference. I worked out today! Only a 10-minute workout but that’s better than just sitting on the couch all night eating junk. It is one step towards my goal.

I tend to put things off when I start to get overwhelmed with too much stuff to do. But that changes today. I have been looking at eating right, working out, school, work, decorating my new home and working on my acting career as stressful things in my life.

I need to change my thought process, these aren’t stresses in my life but more like blessings.

I have the opportunity to work which means I able to have my own home, pay for food and a gym membership to better myself. And I am blessed to be 3 semesters away from graduating with my bachelors. And I am blessed to know what I want to do with the rest of my life. Now I just have to WORK for it.

After a hectic month in May, I am lucky to have the calm before the storm. For the next couple of weeks, I have time to really set out a game plan before I start school and all my time is really taken up.

I have a few things in the works that I can’t wait to share with guys. So, make sure that you are following me on Snapchat and Instagram because I can’t wait to share it with you guys.
