TOPS Spices of Life

I have shared my journey to becoming a healthier me and embracing wellness as a goal measured by non-scale victories through my blogs. Hopefully, you have enjoyed traveling with me, looking up at the constellations as I Aimed for the Stars. I have used markers to guide me as I Followed the Signs, maintaining a Sense-ble Look to that healthy life. It was important to acknowledge that the journey is indeed complex, and I needed to Make the Right Moves by digging into the nucleus of major issues using the Periodic Table of TOPS.

As I was wrapping up the last series, deciding what the next one would be became a challenge. I made a deep refraction, and wondered why I had lost my way six times during my 24 years in TOPS. It seems the common denominator is that complacent attitudes crept in, leading to an apathetic view of my success. The enthusiasm just was not there. If I am to make a successful attempt at achieving my KOPS status for the seventh time, something needs to change.

And there it was, that word that I always seem to stumble on…“change”. As I often do, I started to overanalyze, playing with the word “change”. Maybe using the word “variety” would be helpful. After all, variety is the spice of life.

I always thought my grandfather made up the saying “variety is the spice of life.” The phrase was actually first written in 1785 by William Cowper. It was used in the poem titled “The Task”. That title seems appropriate as I often refract that weight loss can be a difficult task to undertake.

So, there you have it, another topic that I can use to spice up my journey and share my refracted thoughts with you. See you next thyme.
