So its become increasingly obvious that I’m gaining weight, which is the exact opposite that should happen. I can only claim its fluffy fur to a point. So I’ve been talking to different friends and their journeys.
Once upon a time this bear stayed at home, tracked meals/calories, ate appropriate portion sizes, made more food, prepped, worked out, etc. She ended up losing over 50lbs. Now, however, in comparison, apologize for the language, but I’m a fucking bum. I’ve let life kick my big ole bear ass. I know its the past. Learn the lesson from it and move forward. I need to show myself “more grace than judgement”.
I’ve teamed up, or at least I pray it works as being accountable for the eating/calorie and stuff tracking side. I just gotta stick with it and modify my previous lifestyle to my current reality. I’m not chasing children all day. Doing housework. etc. I sit behind a desk. I don’t go to the gym, but I have the membership. I’m usually so exhausted by the end of the day, my give a damn about a healthy dinner is done broke. Getting healthy this way is just as important as getting mentally healthy. Teaching my Cubs how important both are and leading by example.
I pray for God’s help in this. Not only in the actual making it happen side, but giving myself more grace. Letting go of the past. Focus on the future and allow my faith to guide me through it all. Hills, Valleys and the Plateaus. With God, all things are possible! Matthew 19:26
