I have had every intention of updating this blog many times over the past 6 weeks or so, but I haven't made it a priority and so it never got done. And I had so much to say!
As of April 15, I was down 14 pounds and things were going great!
But since then, it's a bit of a different story. Busyness has taken over my life and I've been running from one thing to the next without much time to stop and really think about what I'm doing health-wise. I've been on auto-pilot.
Unfortunately, my auto-pilot is programmed for a destructive path-lots of sweets, few veggies, and very large portion sizes, looking for peace through my taste buds.
So, as much as I don't want to say it, 5 of the 14 pounds have crept back up on me over the past couple of weeks.
And it shows. In the way my clothes (don't) fit, the way I feel, the way I haven't been able to sleep. All proof to me of what I already knew. My focus has not been where it needs to be and I need to make a change. And that's exactly what I'm going to do, starting with this blog post.
My first instinct was to get myself back on track, lose those 5 pounds back, THEN update the blog. But, that wouldn't be real.
James 5:16 says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so
that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and
effective."
So, if I'm going to do this, I can't post only the great days and successes. I have to also post the not-so-good days and the days I fail. And when those days come, I ask you to pray for me and if you choose to share with me, I promise to pray for you, too. And together, we WILL make it!
