Moving it forward…..

June 14, 2015

The statement above is one I have been asking myself for way to long.  I have not been doing what I need to do to be closer to who I want to become.  I have been doing just the opposite!  I started this blog to hold myself accountable on my journey to a better life…… physically, mentally, and spiritually.  I need to lose weight and have procrastinated to the point I have gained weight.  Mentally the only reason I am not stressing or going out of my mind is because I have changed my sleeping pattern to staying up all night and sleeping during the day (so peaceful at night, but so wrong to do!).  Spiritually is probably  the only area I have come close to making some changes.  I have been reading my daily devotionals and Bible readings on YouVersion.  However, I can’t say that I am really grasping what I am reading.  It is like I am just going through the motions, which really does not bring me closer to God, my higher power.

So where do I begin?  I always answer this with one baby step at a time.  Getting back on track and/or making changes in your life requires small steps to adjust to the changes.  That is not to say that some people have not had to make drastic changes overnight or in a short time frame.  I just lost my mother-in-law about 5 weeks ago.  The moment of her death, life changed, especially for my husband.  Some changes are sudden, but when you have changes that you can space out, one day at a time is the best thought process to put into action.

So that is what I am doing.  Taking it one day at time….baby steps along the way, to get back on track.  I am going to use the fantastic treadmill I have, eat clean as often as possible, read my bible daily, and journal here about my feelings, my workouts, my regrets, my accomplishments and all.  This may be boring reading for some, and I accept that.  This is for me and anyone out there that may relate to starting over or are on a journey to a better life.

If you have a blog about getting back on track with life’s goals, let me know and I will follow you.  It’s great to have a support system!  Wish me luck as I get off the bench on this journey I had started awhile back.  It is time to move forward and get my life back on track.
