If we've learned anything from this Covid-19 ordeal it is that we NEED to be PREPARED!
Some may wonder how this relates to a weight-loss journey.
When you think about the amount of stress people are under right now because their daily routine has changed, there are definitive health reprecussions. Stress can make us over eat, not eat much of anything, raise glucose levels, cause migraines... the list goes on.
But if you're prepared, as Bob and I have been, then you can ride out almost anything with very little impact on your day to day.
Whether that means having OTC meds on hand for the family or enough toilet paper to last at least a couple of months, there are things you can do to be prepared.
Now that doesn't mean you have to be set up for the SHTF (shit hits the fan) kind of thing, though this virus has come pretty close) but you should have enough basic supplies stocked up to ride through any crisis.
Do you remember this movie?
Over the next few weeks, I'll walk you through the basics. Start planning now so when you can get out and things begin to find a new normal you will know what you need to do when this or any type of natural disaster occurs.

Prepping is
nothing new. People have been preparing since the beginning of time. From the
first man killing/ preserving food for winter to the Cuban Missile Crisis and
more recent. For generations people have planned for a 'rainy day'. They kept
their food stock in root cellars in case of long winters when what they
preserved might be all they had to hold them until Spring. How many families
prepared for 'the big one' like our folks in Blast from the Past. Though the
movie was meant to be a comedy, there was nothing light about the importance of
how prepared they were to live below ground.
But over the
past few years, 'Prepping' has taken on a new meaning. Some have extended the
term into 'survivalist' - preparing for everything imaginable from a natural disaster
like a tornado to Armageddon. Several months ago I found a book by Bernie Carr
called - THE PREPPER'S POCKET GUIDE - 101 Easy Things You Can Do To Ready Your
Home For A Disaster.
Bernie
breaks prepping down in to 101 manageable tasks to having everything you need
for any emergency that might arise. Disasters, like tornadoes, will knock you
off your game if you are not prepared. My plan to kick-start this blog is to
take you on my journey as I work my way through the booklet and prepare our
home for an emergency and put our Prepper Plan into action.
In the meantime,
I recommend you order Bernie's book and join me on this journey. If you are
already a Prepper or know someone, link me to their sites. I'd love to share
what others are doing
Enjoy the Journey!
