Amazing Disappearing Act!

As I am sure you have noticed, I fell off the face of the earth for a bit! I was sick and then my kids were out of school for Spring Break. And of course I was off the wagon again! It was a challenging week. And I didn't challenge myself enough. I ate badly. And the whole time I ate, I was thinking, "I was to lose weight more than eat this." Yet failed to put the thought into action. But the good news, my body already knew! I can physically feel the difference! I have dragged this last week, been tired, and yes even grumpy! My head has been pounding, my stomach has been gurgling, and my body has been exhausted! All signs telling me, "Get back on track, you don't like this anymore!"

But that is what I like about life and challenges. Sometimes we need moments in life that bring us back to the reality we are truly seeking. I look at moments in my life that have heightened my understanding, and most have come through the struggling of a trial. And that is how I look at my health. I am struggling, striving, and learning. All in hopes that I can overcome and improve. Someone once told me, "You have to become like God in order to be able to dwell with God." I loved that statement, because if we want to truly be comfortable in His presence, then we need to align our lives to be more like Him. Then we understand Him, as He understands us. In the end we will see ourselves as He has created us. And this life is about returning back to Him. And even though I may be a slow learner :) I am still striving to learn and understand. To create and cultivate the habits, He would want me to have. And in the process I am discovering happiness, growth, and so much more!

So I fell off the wagon, but I am back on! I am grateful that it only took a week this time, and not a few months! So tomorrow I will weigh in and realize the damage, but until then I am back to work!
