Waiting

It seems we are always waiting for something...

...to pay off a loan
...for school to start
...for that raise or promotion
...for summer to start
...for a new job
...to lose those next five pounds

It is easy to give up on things, to give up hope. But in those moments, God sends us just what we need. So don't give up hope.

Gotta make time

I am notorious for putting my health last, for putting housework, projects, and everyone else's needs in front of my health. Always using it for a crutch. Not today. Got the first coat of paint done in the bathroom and then headed to the city to walk through the park. All by myself. (That is how I prefer to walk.) It felt great to spend the time on myself, on my physical and mental health!

The ups and downs (literally!)

Ah, heath and fitness. I get so frustrated with myself. I know what I need to do to be healthier. And yet.... we fall into gluttony, laziness.

I will say that over the last few months, my mentality is changing. I need to feed my body - so it works well. I need to feed my soul - so it is at peace. I need to feed my brain - to keep it strong.

So for me right now, it is all about conscious choice. Staying active. Drinking water. Eating in balance. Simple lifestyle choices.
