Back in the Game!

~I think I'm finally going to have a week that I fulfill my goal! This week's goal was simply to log everything on MyFitnessPal. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I have managed to do it 5 days in a row! I didn't go into this week having any expectations about it, just needed somewhere to start. Let me just say that I'm getting more out of it than I thought I would. I'm seeing how those little things I thought were healthy aren't so and how things I didn't think were that bad really are. It's weird, because this isn't my first go at trying to lose weight, but I think I got into this state of mind where I thought I had all the knowledge about it that I needed and that the problem was just with me actually DOING the things I knew. I was WRONG. I am learning a lot of new things about me, the food I eat, and how my body reacts to different things...and I actually like it...the learning process that is.

I also have a lot going on at work and in life in general. I have to keep reminding myself to stop and regroup and that I'm worth too much to stop taking care of me. Yes, it's easy to grab something quick and unhealthy to eat or not exercise while I try to take care of everything and everyone else. It's tough to get myself to slow down, look to God for guidance, reflect on my goals, eat mindfully, and of course to workout.  
I'm struggling with giving it all to god instead of taking on the pressure and weight of the world. . .I will make it though, one deep breath and prayer at a time, and so will you.

 I'm super glad you're still "following" me and I can't wait to hear what you think! How are YOU doing?
