Well, yesterday started early, busy and hectic. I drank my tea too fast, ate my egg in the car and that pretty much was the pace for the day. So I stayed home from youth group last night and chilled. I just can't get all the water and protein in when I am rushing about. Even with staying home last night I never caught up. Didn't even take my Blood Pressure all day. Its still down this morning so its been a full week since I came off meds. Will keep watching it and take it a few times a day. So today I started earlier and calmer and will pace my day and log my food etc.
Its funny how we work, when we get one area of our life on track, my weight for example, then you want to get the rest togerher as well. Paul and I have been reading a book called The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. As I come to an undertanding of the freedom one can have from debt free living and as we start to plan our budget with this goal I can see that we got here just like I got fat. It happens a little at a time but since you dont lose/pay off these excesses they compile until you can't see a way out. I had my gastric bypass in part so that I could be physically able to do whatever God has for me in the future and this is the same reasoning behind getting debt free. Also to be able to enjoy my family fully. Of course each reduction of debt and weight encourges me to continue the "program" and frees me from bondage. So what will be the next area of my life to get "fixed"? The Garage and Attic? The garden and yard?? Now those are truly scary thoughts!
Have a great day! I am truly blessed to have you all as friends. thanks.
Mom and I talk a lot about how our perfectionism keeps us from seeing the "way out" because we are all-or-nothing types. I'm glad that you are able to work little by little to get out from under the weight of being overweight or in debt, or whatever!
