Weight

"We each have gifts that were intended to be shared at this particular time and in this particular place where we happen to find ourselves"(K. Armstrong)Well its my particular time and this is my ability to share with the world.

Well, when I got up this morning I stepped on the scale, looked down and opened my eyes to my true weight, 159.5 pounds, on this 5'1" frame. There it is out there for the world to read....my reality, my true weight. Now it is time to move on and climb out of this life, into anew. I will not minimize myself or my life anymore, I have and will make it a conscience effort to make healthy choices for food and exercise, to allow my body to feel and reap the benefits of pure health.

I ran 2 miles then walked 1.5miles on Monday and on Tuesday walked 3.4miles with a friend while chatting up a storm, today not sure what exercise it will be, but know that some form will be completed by the end of the day. Also I have been making healthier food choices, last night I was hungry after having a salad and 3oz. of protein for dinner, so instead of the ice cream with kit kat that I was craving, I opted for some organic strawberries and a teaspoon of nutella.

Monday however, our 3 younger kids were at my sister in laws and the hubby and I were going to have a nice dinner, well by the time he got home I was starving and wanted to keep my promise to myself of eating healthy, but sometimes I think my hubby tries to de-rail my healthy eating plan. I don't think he does this knowingly, he is not that type of person, but subconsciously maybe.

Living every moment in the present is hard and I am finding fast that it must be a constant effort, but I refuse to let go of Living on the Edge...of My Own Life!
