Making it a Habit

Today was probably my 8th walk since last Sunday. I am trying my best to get focused on my health. I want to walk at least 1 mile a day. So far total with each day walked I have walked over 10 miles. This is where I usually poop out, give up, and give in. It is so hard to change my eating habits cause I am in love with food. It is my addiction. I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am sad, I eat when I am mad! These past few months I have been all of the above so you can only imagine the overeating I have done.

But here I am pushing myself.

After a few weeks of depression. I took charge. I said no more and I reached out to my best friend! I asked my husband if we could go for a walk. So or the past week we have been walking very regularly. The loop we had started to travel is just over a mile, but now I have found a route that is 2 miles exactly. For me this will be my new route. I did this route this morning with my girls and then this evening after dinner my husband and I did the mile and a half route.

I feel proud.

I have been pushing fluids and I continue to feel better. A few weeks ago I was sick. I will spare you all the details but I ended up in the ER needing IV fluids. It was a wake up call, to the fact that I had letting my circumstances run me instead of letting God have control. I know that I am suppose to do that but sometimes it is so much easier said than done. Either way I believe this past week has been pivotal in hearing God's whisper again. Each time I have really needed the peace that only God can give, it has been done. Whether its been in a dream, a Facebook post from someone else, or even words from someone whom I don't even know.

God can and will speak to you!

I really can't think of a time before this year where God spoke to ME. Now over the past year I can think of several times where God has spoke to me personally and helped me to see he is right there with me every step o the way. Allowing to make mistakes, but also allowing me to come crawling to him when I am in need of healing that only he can provide and for that I am so super thankful!
