Hello my lovelies,
In my last journal I gave an update of all that's been going on. God has been good and I as a mom, wife, and now student, have been very busy. But also very sedentary. Sitting at the table doing school work and house accounts, driving in the car to run errands, getting kids where they need to be, at church for bible studies...My exercise has been grocery shopping, cleaning the house, and cleaning our church.
Because we're down to one income after I let go of my job to focus on school, I let go of my gym membership to save some money. Downfall? There's always something to do around the house, so I do that instead of working out.
I also am pretty sure I'm going through perimenopause or some other kind of hormonal change because my face, especially my chin and neck have broken out horrendously and I'm always exhausted. There are a few other symptoms as well. So there's that.
FS got overwhelming before because I was trying to do all the things. Kids. Work. Marriage. Church. Prayer Life. Exercise. Eat right. AND try and log everything I ate and drank. It got overwhelming because not everything had a barcode to scan and, if it did, it didn't always register it. If I made homemade food, every ingredient had to be entered and so on...You get the point. Y'all are doin' it, too, so I'm sure you all know at least something about what I'm talking about in regard to logging your food and exercise. Add all of that on top of being a perfectionist and what do you get? Burn out.
But I'm home daily now since I'm currently not working and doing school online, so I'm back and we'll see how it goes.
Every day is a chance to do better and be better. Making room for constant healing and growth. I also get to remember that I'm human, and definitely NOT perfect. My goal is to just be healthy. I want to enjoy and have the energy to do things with my kids. I want to enjoy and energy to do things with our youth group stuff at church. I want to be able to go do adventurous things with my hubby on our date nights. I want to be able to go do adventurous things as a family in the summer.
So. As always, one day at a time with God, my family, and my health as my focus.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 - ESV
