OKAY, YES.......I realize it's been a MONTH since I've posted. I'm so sorry about that. I think the Christmas season, busy work month and my children's activities ran away with me. Before I knew it a month had gone by and I hadn't touched my blog. I apologize for those of you that actually read my blog on a regular basis. :) I promise to try to be better.
Now, on to Live Well Wednesday.
I'm quite disappointed in myself. I was doing good and loosing about a pound a week and then Thanksgiving hit. I let it hit hard too and now I'm paying for it. I'm back up about 4 lbs and I'm struggling to get my eating under control again.
It's so hard for me to understand why I can be so regimented and organized in some areas of my life but not in all. I'm typically very organized at work and with regards to my family's activities. However, I'm not as organized as I would like to be with my eating, cooking and keeping the house picked up. Does that mean that I do not care about those areas as much as the others? I'm not sure.
I'm still going through my formation classes following my retreat back in September. They are a blessing and I'm thrilled to have this time of study and reflection each week. I can't help but think maybe I need to focus on one area and get it under control before I tackle another area. At this point I'm working on changing my thinking and being more patient with everyone.
Please pray that GOD will give me the strength I need to make good choices for my body and at least keep this in the back of my mind, even if I'm not going at it full force right now.
Live Well ladies!

Father we are asking you that you give balance in this situation. Please provide the strength needed here. Lord, thank you for all you give to us and do for us. We love you. In Jesus name. Amen.
Don't beat yourself up-just keep moving forward. You can do it in Him. I am in these trenches with you and believe me I understand.
Much love,
Angela
I think you are on the right track focusing on one thing at a time. Too often we want to make changs in many areas and end up overwhelmed and not changing anything. One goal at a time is good enough. ;)
Nice to see you join again this week. Sorry I'm late. I'll be praying for you!
Thank you Angela for your thoughts! I really really appreciate the encouragement.
Nicole - I'm terrible about getting excited and wanting to change everything at one time and then I get burnt out, just like you said. I'm hoping that won't happen this time.
Darlene - Thank you for your message. I hate that I missed so much, but I'm determine to get this weight off. I have to do something!
