I ALMOST FORGOT WHY I STARTED THIS
I know it’s been several days since I last posted a blog. And I’m not going to lie, I let my emotions get the best of me last week.
So just a little update on what’s been going on...
After only losing .4 lbs last week I was super bummed. And I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. There would be times that that I felt so great and felt strong with God by my side and then other times where I just didn’t feel like doing anything.
A lot of how I’ve been feeling has to do with the fact that Saturday was the last day I had my smart coffee. When I drink my smart coffee everyday I feel energized, less hungry, I have motivation and my mind is so much more clear. It just helps me all around.
I was going to the try and not drink it for a week to see how I felt and if the coffee was really as good as I thought but it definitely is. I’ve ordered some more coffee and should be getting it soon.
Okay so now for week 5 weigh in day....
I weighed myself today for week 5 weigh in and it was higher than expected so I moved the scale over about an inch (my floor is a little unleveled) and then it was wayyyy less. I kept moving the scale and at one point it even said I lost 80 pounds in one week!
I just kept getting crazy weights and couldn’t figure out how much I actually weighed and then I realized...
This was God’s way of telling me not to worry about the weight. I almost forgot why I started this whole journey....
I started it to be healthy. To not have as much pain, and to be able to move around better.
I’ve been so focused on my weight and how much I’ve been losing that I wasn’t even thinking about everything else.
Since I started this journey my knee pain and pain in general has gone down tremendously, I walk at least 5 times a week, and eat healthy for the most part (I’ve even been choosing healthier options on cheat days.)
I still have a long way to go but I’ve made a ton of progress and I’m no longer letting the scale control me. So starting today I am only going to weigh once a week and focus on the other things in this journey.
I will be taking my measurements monthly and paying attention to the positives going on with my body, mind, and choices.
Thank you God for reminding me why I started this journey. You are truly an awesome God.
Before you go, I will leave you with this prayer... I pray that you have knowledge and understanding of what God has planned for you and that you never forget the reason why you’re doing whatever it is that you are doing. I pray that you feel strong with God by your side and that you always lean on him in times that you feel weak. In Jesus name, Amen.
Never forget to choose faith over fear.
We'll chat tomorrow
