The road to self discovery can be a long and winding one. I am on a recent role and after I finish this blog...I am finishing my to do list for today. Tomorrow I start a crazy few days with kids and parties and meetings...My next no plan day would be next Wednesday. The introvert in me is like but umm, recharge? I will do that in a whole new way soon.
Anyway, last night I sat with my mini and we had a girls night...It was so much fun and I taught her girl fight...complete with the laughing and screeching and she loved it. Well I mention this because I have found something...when you truly laugh and I don't mean that prissy little giggle and such...I mean laugh from the belly...where you lose your breath..it releases something. Yes, the threes are an infuriating time as a mommy...but that is another blog on another day. I also have found that just letting go and singing...puts me on a whole other level of damn....I got this.
Oh I have weight to lose, I have teeth fix, I am getting wrinkles and it is dawning on me everyday I am so much closer to 40 than I am 20 now, but why be miserable about it. Whether I laugh through the good times and enjoy everyday or I sit an dwell on the what I need to dos...life is still gonna pass me by. So, I am gonna own it!!! I set a goal starting 8/ 23/2015 to walk 35,000 steps a week and/or 14 miles. So it comes down to average of 5000 a day and/or 2 miles. Well here we are at the half way point of my week and well...I need 134 steps by midnight to stay on track. I also am a 1/4 mile on my miles for week. I can do 134 just in trips to the bathroom and washer and dryer. The point is to set a goal and crush it...but crush it for a month consistently.
From there I will up it to 10,000 steps a day.
Back in January yes I said I wanted to be a better me and I set all the goals, and well I got bored. I built a house of excuses and now here I sit in August and I am overjoyed at how much of the better me attitude is sticking!!! Today I have headphones charged the hubby home and a to do list that will be done by bed time!!! So with that
I leave you with the Just for today...OWN your victories and celebrate the little wins...they all add up to big successes!!
What you will find here is the true account of one former food addict on the road of recovery. I am a mom, a wife, a college grad, and someone who lives with chronic illness. I cuss a bit (the "F" Word can be used as a coma) but I am very spiritually based. Coffee is my love language and I do not do much without a cup or three a day. These days it is all about the rebuild of my life, finding me again after a huge blow last year, and how recovery saved my life so now I am living it!
