Today I choose to be happy! Ok ya, I'm still over weight, under paid, have a dog that won't house break, constantly question my parenting abilities and wonder where the heck I'm going. That stuff doesn't matter. What matters is that in all those areas and then some, I'm doing what I can to make a difference. The two pounds I lost last week kinda nudged me along and I am making better choices. I swam at the lake last weekend and got a pretty good work out! Having fun and burning calories is so much better than punching in at the gym. Don't get me wrong, I love me some gym time when I'm in the zone. What makes me feel good right now is being outside and enjoying being alive. Walking the nature trail, swimming at the lake, or even washing my car.
I don't think there is a lot that can replace the feeling you get when you are taking care of yourself. Does that sound selfish? Then let me ask you this - how does it feel when your child goes on their own to get their hair cut, buy new clothes or go to the dentist? It makes me feel proud, happy for them and inside I know that if they are doing good things for themselves then they are feeling good about themselves as well. Same thing goes for us. Sure, people can go over board with the me-thing, but I'm just talking about a healthy care for self. No one else takes care of me but me. I remember that I am precious in God's sight and that as a good Father, he loves to see me taking care of myself. I want to honor him that way. So today I will put the right things into my body and drive under 80 - it's the least I can do :)

AuthorMy name is Kat and I'm a single mom of two young adults. I have not always been overweight but after having children and going through some personal hurdles, let it get out of control. My philosophy about eating is this: Eat real food. Real eggs, butter, veggies. Eliminating processed junk as much as possible. I eat butter, not faux butter product because I believe my body can better process real food rather than chemicals. Archives
