Weight Loss Unmasked with Erica Gurrieri3 Feb 2022

4 Surprising Things I Learned Thanks to COVID

I was down for the count. Exhausted, achy and…well…kind of depressed. What was my deal? I got "the VID".

But it wasn’t the symptoms that really took a toll. It was the sadness that set in. I sent myself straight down a path of depression and disappointment. I let COVID get me.

Any bout of sickness–or unexpected speed bump–is hardly an excuse to throw discipline and responsibilities out the window.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a sob episode about my period of illness. This is about 4 pretty remarkable lessons I learned while sick that I'm 100% sure will resonate with you:

#1: The world continues turning...every day.

#2: Drama will happen if you let it.

#3: Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean making a mile-high ice cream sundae.

#4: I have a personal desire to stay connected.

I Dedicate This to You: Because sometimes life just kicks us in the behind, and we all deal with it on one level or another, I dedicate this episode to you, my listeners! Be sure to listen to the end for my special message to you. This is perhaps the most valuable lesson I've learned on my journey.

And of course, I wrap everything up with my official weigh in! Time for some accountability!
