Obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for...
Happy Thursday my lovely people!!! I hope that you are all kicking butt today!! I am so excited for this weekend, nothing is happening, but I cannot wait for Friday 4pm!!
So my boss brought donuts today, they are sitting at the coffee pot which is like 3 feet from my desk. I weighed this morning and was up a few lbs since my last weigh in, and I am thinking "Well, Ive already screwed the pooch, might as well have a donut" I am fighting that internal battle right now. I will win, I know this, but at the same time, I sort of dont want to. Ive already had my coffee with coconut oil and heavy cream. I whipped the cream to peaks this morning, gave it a more cappuccino feel. It was nice.
I am not hungry, I do not need the donut, its more of a whisper of the person I was 6 months ago. The girl who rewarded herself just by waking up in the morning with treats that are horrible for her! My reward will be 1 more pound gone, one more smaller size. My reward is one more year of being alive. Not a donut, not today.
So my summer is booked up, I am going out of town next weekend, then in July we are going to Branson and then I have to go stay at my moms house for a weekend, now my sister is wanting to go camping in August and my brother wants to go to Tulsa one weekend. I am going to be exhausted!! It will be a blast, but tiring. I am hoping that I can keep up with it all. I wanted to join a local Karaoke contest, but I dont know when I will be able to squeeze in the qualifying rounds!!
Today I will thank God for all the success and blessings that He has given to me. I will praise him for a new day, a new me and the adventure of life. I will pray for continued successes and victories for all of us. I pray peace, patience and understanding that some journeys take longer than we want, but with perseverance and trust, we will arrive better than before. I give all praise and thanks, in Jesus name, Amen!!
Keep pushing forward, keep grinding in, keep going. Remember, even if you can only take one step, its one step closer than you were yesterday!! Forgive yourself and others, often. Be good to each other!!
