"The point of wellness to me is the mental," the mom-of-two wrote: "I am exhausted from work. I don't care what the number says! But, I feel bloated from eating like [expletive]. Sleeping too little. Working so much. I have a week off and I plan to scrape those barnacles! I need a redo reboot."

Drew shared another throwback to ring in the new year - remember this?

She continued: "And it doesn't matter what my number is. I wanted to start to show my beginning of the week, to show myself what I was capable of, if I had a week to actually practice that term 'self care' and I think it's a load, because most of the time, we don't actually have time to do it!

"Well, I actually have the time right now! So I am interested in #whataweekcando. Now I know once I go back to kids work life balance, I will most likely not be able to live this healthy. But, it's great to go hard this week on seeing what I can scrape off myself. 

She's vowed to look after herself in 2022

"That is also about eating healthy. Meditation. Walking. And staying balanced. Which is just hard to do in the middle of real life.

"But it will be a fun journey to just see how I can totally take care of myself and put wellness first. Which is just not an option most of the time. Which is I guess why they call it balance. PS I'M GOING TO INVENT A NEW WAY TO WEIGH."
