Am I Committed !

• 

So today I wanted to share the goal I have been focusing on. I have been trying to focus this month on staying on track with my health goals. To say it is a job in itself would be being honest with you all. I can not say that I have been perfect but I have been better. Progress not Perfection I keep telling myself.

For the last month not counting today, because apparently the tiny humans wore me out this weekend, I have been getting to the gym by 6:00 am almost everyday. I have worked out at home on the days I can not make it to the gym.

I have tried to focus on my nutrition intake and have again clarified carbs are not my friend. If I add them in it causes me extreme bloating and unpleasantness for those around me lol. So carbs are history for the most part. I am quite proud of myself in the water intake department. I have not made it to a gallon everyday but it 90 ounces on most days.

I am forever grateful that I found Nicole Wilkins. Her training and nutrition advice have brought me so far. She also suggested accountability groups shortly after I joined her community. It is one of the best things that I have ever done. I love mine. I have been distracted lately during our weekly check ins and I can tell the difference in my overall progress on the weeks I miss them. She also has a great online community that helps me stay on track.

The person responsible for my success is myself but I try to acquire all the knowledge and support systems that I can in order to reach my goals. I want to live a long healthy life to watch my grandchildren grow up. Actually, not just grow up I want to be able to participate and enjoy them. I am grateful I am physically able to keep up with them. I can pick them up, run, ride and just enjoy life with them.

My mental health is also important. So many times I want to give in to anger or anxiety but I remind my self that the Bible tells me to fear not. As a matter of fear not is in the Bible 365. I remind myself of this when I tend to lean toward my old ways or my true nature whichever the case may be. I am not a little Miss Susie Sunshine. I use to wish I was but I am learning to appreciate the way God made me. Blunt and honest. I do try to soften the edges some. I am not always successful but I do try. I read a line in a book this week that has helped me in these areas. I do not want Jesus to come back and catch me doing this. Ahh if I can tell myself that every time I almost explode perhaps I will conquer these demons. So I strive to live with No Fear/ Anger/ Anxiety as Jesus is always with me. Best Mental help I have ever received. I know for many this is a constant struggle, please remember God made us to walk in victory not be beaten down by the things of this world.

I pray over anyone reading this today that if you are struggling with your health that you would truly evaluate where you are. Only you can decide to take better care of you. There are some things that can not be changed, but how we choose to deal with those things are the key to our overall health. This is physical, spiritual and mental. If you need help or guidance please go after it with all you have. What works for one may not work for another. Keep striving to grow and learn and live a healthy full life! Be a Victor not a Victim!!

I am committed to be a Victor! To overcome any obstacle that will stand in my way. To walk in Power. Committed to Christ and becoming the best me I can be.
