Right now our house is an expression of chaos... the chaos of moving, the chaos of going through our possessions and deciding what makes the 12000 trip to America, the chaos of considering what our work will be in the USA, where we'll live, and what we'll drive.
While things are chaotic, it's easy to let the fitness and healthy eating slide. Thankfully, I've learned better. In the midst of chaos, it's great to hold onto those things that we can control.
I can run. I can bike. I can eat healthy foods. I can focus on what's great and where we're heading in life. I can spend time with friends and marvel at the beauty of God's creation.
In the midst of chaos, I'll focus on those things I can influence. Those areas where I can stay in the "zone" and build health.
Maybe it's a balance thing... Being at peace with the chaos while controlling what matters.

I love that sentiment: "Being at peace with the chaos while controlling what matters."
Noticed that only the two of us are in the area on VerveEarth. Guess I'll be representing Chiang Rai alone soon.
Moving and packing is indeed a stressful time but the exercise will help if you can continue to find the time to do it.
Fitness has always been a quiet personal thing for me but I do understand that competition and public support can help with motivation. I wish you continued success in leading a healthy life.
The move sounds exciting ... good luck!
