Four weeks ago Facebook gave me some memories of what I have the capacity to achieve when I commit to it. (pic below)
It's unbelievable how far from who we truly are we can stray inch by inch. Then one day you are like 😞 I don't recognize myself and I don't like my habits.
Without noticing It, this new more undisciplined person/habits spills into everything we do.
I don't feel bad about myself but I know that I can't thrive in life when I am not committing to excellence in EVERY area.
Sometimes life is rough and we have no choice than for a season forfeit being THAT person we know we truly are. And that's okay. But then... we inch by inch move so far from that person we were that we don't believe we are that person anymore. But we ARE and that's why we are not happy. We must honor who God made us to be.
I realized that the more we give into that "tiredness", "self indulgence" "depression" the more tired, self indulgent and depressed we get.
The reason we look fine on the outside but feel bad on the inside is because we are going through the days not being who we ARE. Not honoring that drive and discipline in all areas.
I am not judging where I got to, I am just sharing my realization. The aha moment that made me open my eyes a month ago.
I used to be the most disciplined and self motivated person even after kids. And although I understand the reasons I allowed myself slip little by little, and I could give you a long list of very compelling reasons, I also don't have to stay where I found myself this Summer.
So I took some before pictures 😩 and measurements for a starting point. Pictures below for accountability)
Dusted off MyFitnessPal app and put together a nutrition plan as well as a 30 min workout for mornings to get my metabolism going again.
We have 15 weeks until the new year ladies and we can achieve some major goals in this time frame, and still enjoy the holidays with our family.
I am a wife, a mother of 4, homeschooling 4 different grades, running a business and running a household... I am committed. Do you want to join me?
Together and in prayer we can accomplish this.
