Goals

It's been a while since I've sat down and really thought about my goals for the next 6 months. I like to have goals, but it's been a little hectic the past year. Getting engaged, married, and buying a house in 11 months! Crazy I know, but God was in all of it. My life is far from perfect, and my walk with God hasn't been the strongest lately. I've let outside circumstances really control things, which is not like me.

So my goals for the next 6 months are a mash of a lot of things.

1. Start running AGAIN! I miss it. My body misses it. It's going to be so challenging to start again, but I need to do it.

2. Eat healthy... I've lost touch with reality. From health issues to laziness and excuses I've kind of lost touch with healthy eating. I know I eat too many carbs... But I just love them! I'm slowly working on healthier choices and with running and healthy choices I know I'll feel better about myself.

3. Get back on track with Godly habits: devotions, prayer, small group participation, engagement with church activities

4. Finish 1 bedroom and the dining room remodel :)

5. Be more social- THIS ONE WILL BE HARD! I'm social but not enough to be out going. I used to be, but I'm kind of an introvert and love just being home with my husband. But I need to be a little more social... maybe.

Well that's probably more than enough to work on over the next 6 months. So we'll see how I do. I'm going to try and blog more and keep myself accountable.

Not purposefully maintaining

The past few weeks have been really rough for weight loss and eating healthy. My semester has been wrapping up and I had a few things to finish to get a "P" and move on to my next internship. My roommate moved out so I have to figure things out more on my own. I've had a hectic schedule and have not made healthy choices in a while. My weight keeps fluctuating between 165 and 170. I know that I'm not doing things right to get my the weight off right now. I'm in a rut and can't get out of it. I should be proud of my weight loss going from 256 pounds to 165-170 pounds, but I really have a goal in mind and I would like to lose at least another 20 to 30 pounds. I need to get back on track. This week I've been pretty depressed resulting in eating comfort foods. I had brownies in my apartment which is not a good idea... They are gone, but I definitely ate a lot of them. I've been lacking in self control to eat well and take the time to pack my lunch. My exe

Comparing

Have you ever caught yourself comparing yourself to everyone around you? I know I have. I've compared myself from a very young age. When I was young I lived in a trailer... Often people would judge people who lived in a trailer, calling them "trailer trash". We didn't have much growing up. I never really had the fanciest clothes, name brand clothes, or the newest gadgets. I'd compare my weight, athletic ability, intelligence, where I was at in life, my personality, my talents, and my financial situation. Problem is this comparison trap is still ingrained into us as human beings. We want the next best thing. We want the newest laptop, the newest cell phone, the newest tablet, the newest car, the newest tv, the newest furniture, the newest bike, the newest fad, the newest "you fill in the blank". We want a different name, a new family, a new home, new friends, a new school, new teachers, etc. Even to this day, I get stuck wanting to be thinner, more at

Standing Still

This week has been a rough week in regards to both eating and running. I've made poor choices and am thinking about switching things up a little. I've thought about joining Weight watchers, but it's so expensive!! I'll keep counting calories for free. I've been craving grapes, and finally bought some, but had no calories left to eat them tonight! I keep telling myself that I'll eat more fruits and veggies, but rarely do. A lot of that has to do with my upbringing. Our meals were rarely well rounded (and still aren't). It's something I need to change for me. I have a diagnosed medical condition that has been acting up. I have Sciatica. It's the most annoying pain and sensations. Trying to run makes it act up more. Today I didn't run, but it feels much better. Salonpas are amazing. My doctor recommended them and I feel they are helping. Hopefully I can run strong tomorrow!
