Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

I know I have been threatening to do it for a while, but I have finally embarked on my journey to health and wellness. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I also feel like the weight is the main issue that is holding me back from fulfilling my dreams at this point. Every week there is a different ailment and I finally connected the dots and realized that I need to get back on that health train. Last weekend I worked out 3 days and intended to do it again this weekend, but I was so exhausted by Friday that I have just been home sleeping and recharging for the week ahead. I have been eating HORRIBLY lately. Stress eating and just not taking care of myself. On Friday my feet were so swollen they looked like sausages. They still haven't completely returned to normal. Yesterday I slept all day and today I woke up and have been planning for the week ahead. That includes planning my meals.

I am growing.  Part of the process is healing my body through better nutrition. I've been serious about it. I feel my energy returning. I am moving back into healthy habits. I have no choice but to live my life in a way that is pleasing to God. I am off to take a walk in Central Park before it gets too hot outside. Have a beautiful day!

For the second morning in a row I have risen before the alarm and not been able to fall back asleep. If I keep this up, I might need to start getting up at 5:30 AM to hit the gym before work. That would add energy to my day. The gym is near my job so I would have to shower and get ready for work there. Eh, maybe a couple times a week I can make an effor to that. We'll see what happens. Kind of waiting for the new year crowds to die down. One of my pet peeves is going to a crowded, overused gym. Sure to happen after work. I just never have extra energy afer work, though yesterday I was surprisingly not completely dragging when I left. Not as motivated this morning, but will continue my 5-5-5 ritual this morning. I keep looking at my vision board that I created last year and although many of the things I posted are still in my vision, I want to update it...maybe narrow it down a bit. Collage is a messy process, but then again, so is life. Just ask the ex who found me on Facebook....
