I have a confession to make: I have wellness envy.
Theyve just got that glow…and I want it, too.
Dont get me wrongI consider myself a relatively healthy person.

But I feel like Im nowhere near the level of ~health perfection~ as I could be.
Or something like that.
But you cant just think your best lifeyouve got to live it.
Please note the super-zen buddha on my window sill.
Spoiler alert: Its so much harder than it looks.
7:30 A.M.:Rise and shine!
OK, not quite dawn, but still.
My au naturel attempt at #beachwaves (and a mango and turmeric juice concoction).
Planning ahead, so healthy!
10:00 A.M.:Psych!
I fell back asleep.
- The elixir of life right here.
Welp, onto thiswarm lemon waterthing all the healthy people talk about.
NowthisI can get on board with.
Same thing with warm lemon water.
My new natural habitat?
(Maybe Im not supposed to use boiling H20?)
I also let my hair air-dry, but oddly I dont have perfect beach waves???
I thought those came with the lifestyle.
These tacos=[insert fire emoji here]
12:30 P.M.:The most important meal of my day: Brunch.
I swapped my usual bottomless mimosa for mango juice with apple cider vinegar and turmeric shrub.
It was surprisingly good, and I got enough of a buzz off the pure self-satisfaction of ordering it.
2:30 P.M.:Madison and I hit Central Park to meet up with some friends.
Bring rose, they said!
Itll be fun, they said!
4:30 P.M.:OK, Im a little tipsy.
Thankfully, I still have my SmartWater.
Probably not these shady park ones, I later consider.
THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WELLNESS.
6:00 P.M.:Yup, Im drunk.
I never go to crappy, kitschy restaurants, and on today of all days?
Im a little salty about it.
Must shower to wash away my wellness sins.
I kind of sucked at the whole health thing today.
But there was a steep drop-off around 2 p.m. from wellness to, well,notwellness.
- I regret my unfavorable restaurant dinner andnot working out.
I wake with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication to the cause.
Bring on the lemon water, baby.
1:00 P.M.:Beach day!
5:30 P.M.:Well, would you look at that.
My arms, legs, and chest have been burned to a crisp.
Honestly, though, ZERO regrets, because these tacos are pretty much Gods gift to the earth.
9:00 P.M.:Oh, shit.
I am really burnt.
Normally, I work out becauseI love the energy I haveafterwards.
Icook healthy dinnersbecause I enjoy it.
I need to be doing it for myself.
I’m pretty happy with my routine and my habits, so you know what?
Maybe I’malreadyliving my best life.
