Difficult Week

On Monday, it looked like my week was going to be great...I was feeling better from my sickness and I hit a new weight loss record. But somehow, my week just fell apart in many ways.

My last walk was on Monday, which was sluggish. Today is Saturday. On Wednesday, we attended a potluck and we came home with extra dessert, which I ate on Thursday. I haven't had a salad for three days because I've been eating leftovers. I've been really "off" this week, in many ways, having difficulty just going through my "normal" daily routine.

The good news is that even though I ate dessert, I'm not using it as an excuse to overeat like I used to...it just isn't worth it! I had pizza last night and some peanut M&Ms, but I don't need to eat them today. Move forward from here and wash some lettuce!

The Lord helped me, though, as I set out this morning. I was seriously considering doing only a small loop, when I heard Him say "keep going, it is important to push through this time, not shrink back", which gave me the motivation I needed to trudge over the pavement.

A little over half way, I looked up to see this garage sale sign, "Almost There"!!! Thank You Lord! I needed that encouragement to get me home!

I've been wondering about the sluggishness, when it totally hit me...it is WARMER! When it is about 62° or higher, I really bog down. One day when I returned, it was about 67° and I could feel it. Just even more motivation to get up earlier. I feel so much better knowing what the fatigue is all about so I can move through it over the next several weeks, before it starts getting cooler again!
