No weigh in this week for me. We are on 'Spring Break' apparently; yet I am not finding myself at a beach with college friends. I think I can officially call myself old when I laugh at people who take a Spring Break. I work. Most of us work through Spring Break.
No major topic of discussion but without a weigh in this week I think a bit of reflection is in order since it has been a few months since this whole process of self discovery began. This morning when I logged on I realized it was going to be an "Eat Pray Love" kind of day. Immediately, I searched Elizabeth Gilbert for quotes for inspiration/motivation to get me through this day. It's dreary outside, as it has been for days. We live in the Midwest not Seattle!
My life is going smoothly. I'm on my meds that make me ever so sick. A doctor appointment scheduled on Monday to update my blood work. Prayers are requested/needed/appreciated as I wait patiently for what the results may be. Good news... that's all I want. My weight loss has been a rough path traveled; however, I am staying on board and exercising multiples times a week on the treadmill. The healthy mindset has done wonders for my motivation and even though I've slipped up a handful of times, I get back on and keep on a truckin'.
Life with my family is good. Husband/wife life is great. Friends are good as well. Socially, I feel like there are always areas I can improve on. I'm working hard to remember to be me for me and not anyone else. Just like my health, there have been a handful of moments where I have slipped up and failed getting sucked into the 'drama' but then I retreat and bring myself back to normalcy. My safe haven is my home, with my husband and our dog.
Spiritually, I'm doing better. I really enjoyed my bible study group. I felt like it was a chance to meet new people. I dedicated myself to the 6 weeks and so far I have enjoyed myself. Our next session starts in May so the month of April I'm taking it easy. Attending church more is important to me; however, we have managed to attend a few times through our 6 week study. It's always refreshing and it gives me optimism.
I think that about updates everyone on life. There is much more in the works for not only myself but our family as well as we make preparations for my dad's departure this summer to Afghanistan. The next few months will be the most important. As always, prayers/support are always appreciated and never go unnoticed.
