This entire year has just seemed to be such a mixed bag of ups and downs, trials and blessings. I cannot believe we are in October already and truly wonder where the year has gone. However, it's been such a crazy chaotic year, that I'm really looking forward to the chill of Autumn, relaxing by the fire, watching movies and stitching away, while sipping my beloved Sweet and Spicy tea. Needless to say, my weight and health journey has been on a standstill from all my attention being diverted to taking care of others and their needs.
So, where is that leaving me on this journey at this particular moment? Frankly, I'm just not all that worried about it. Yes, I still have lots of weight I want/need to lose, but after the year we've had, I'm not going to fuss over it as we head into the upcoming holiday season. I want to spend the last three months of this year doing something that I just have not been able to do the first 9 months of the year.... focus on my relationship with God, digging into The Word, focus on my home and making a respite for my family, and focus on enjoying my family. I would like to try to start getting back into healthy habits like dusting off my treadmill and getting back into using it daily, and cooking meals for my family daily rather than eating out all the time. I want to enjoy all that the holiday season offers and savor every bit of it with my family.
January will be here soon enough and I can begin to focus on losing weight once again. By then I hope to be back into the swing of other healthy habits I'm beginning to instill now. Sometimes, it's just best all the way around to step back, take a breath, and relax a bit. That would be my plan at this moment.
