Stuck!

Wow, so I have shared all these things that I do to succeed in my day. What happened. Bam I got knocked for a loop. I have not been very successful in adjusting to my new normal. What changed you say? Well let me just tell you .

My Mom had to move in with us. She battled COVID and we were able to get over that . My aunt who was her caregiver also battled COVID and has not been able to take back over her care. My Mom has dementia and seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. I also began picking up my Grandson everyday, he has now started school.

So I had to give up my daily trips to the gym. I also am missing church on a regular basis. Both of these keep my grounded. I need to be in church and I love the gym. I did make it to church yesterday finally. It felt so good to be in a corporate worship setting again.

I was also blessed by Terri Savelle Foy Ministries. I was able to purchase the seminar featuring she and Lisa Bevere. They both gave excellent insight and two words stuck out to me. Intentional and Resolved.

I must be resolved to reach my goals. How am I going to accomplish this? I am going to be intentional in my actions. I have not been very good at this. I noticed this morning that I had failed to plan my days since Wednesday of last week. Well guess what I missed every workout I was suppose to do. There is no telling what else I did not do . Writing this blog is also a goal that got pushed back.

So this morning I made myself get up when the alarm went off. I got my workout in . Thanks to not being intentional last week, I will do 2 workouts a day to make up the missed ones. This is the last week of a 10 week fitness challenge and I refuse to give up or quit early.

I did manage to meal prep yesterday. I am also already on my third bottle of water. I have my day planned. I also went in and spoke with my Manger and explained that I could not mentally handle trying to get my early workouts in, take care of my Mom and arrive at the office by 7:00 am. He was very understanding and we have agreed 8:00 is fine. I am obviously blessed in my job as well.

Lesson learned you can have the best laid out plan and life can throw it out of whack for you. What do you do? I will resolve to be completely intentional in moving forward. I will redo my plan so that I can still accomplish the goals I have for myself.

I will finish this challenge and am already signed up to return to my personal trainer. This challenge has taught me I have better results with her. One she is an expert on KETO/ Low Carb and I definitely have better results with this approach. I also need her to hold me to the fire. She can help me adjust my workouts to more home based.

I will adjust my work schedule so that my days are not so stressful. I will make going to church a priority by intentionally getting things and people set up and in place to let this happen.

I will rest when I am overwhelmed, readjust the plan if it not working and try a different approach.

The answers are out there for me I just have not found my stride yet.

I will also remember to take every care to the Lord in prayer. He will help me find my way.

Wish me luck or say a prayer for me to be successful in completing my goals in this new stage of life.

If you find yourself stuck please reassess yourself and resolve to be intentional in making the changes you need to .
