A Change is Gonna Come

So the past two months my home life has been somewhat crazy. No not somewhat…that’s putting it lightly. It has been a rollercoaster. Not the kind you’d put your two year old on and watch their little face light up with happiness and laughter. I mean the kind that once it takes off your heart is  pounding with anticipation of what may be coming. You start up the hill, you’re cheering and cheering. Then you reach the top and you know at any second now you are going to shoot over the top and hit the drop, with twists and turns. Let the screams begin kind of rollercoaster.

THAT is what my life has been like lately. 

We have had so many events take place recently, some good and some bad, that sometimes I don’t know whether I want to laugh, cry, break down or kick and scream! Recently I’ve fallen off the wagon and have gone back to emotional eating. Things have gotten really tight financially due to going down to one income it has put a strain on being able to eat healthy. Hopefully this changes soon.

I am tired of picking up something to eat to satisfy my need and then wanting to cry because I feel horrible after eating. I look at myself and I think “How is that going to help you lose this weight?”. This last week I decided (again) that I am no longer going to do that. So the changes I finally made this past week are:

• I am not going to stress over what I have no control over. Let Go & Let God!
• I bought a HydraCoach and I am now drinking water. That has been added to my day. I’ve already noticed a difference.
• I went back this week to doing my best on making healthier choices in any situation, even when funds don’t allow it. (Portion control always helps)
• I have been up and moving a lot more. Adding more steps each day!

With that being said…I lost 5 pounds last week. 3 of those pounds are due to sickness and being up all night with that, BUT I will take that loss baby! Woohoo!

I’m determined to lose this weight..it’s time for a change!
