I received some not so great news last week from the doctor. Nothing is “wrong” with me; I just have to start taking care of myself. I am sure that I can do better, but I also know that I am not huge on self-discipline (especially with food!). So, I am trying to be healthy, make better food choices, and be a more active person.
I don’t like talking about weight goals or clothing sizes. I know that is the easiest way to measure success, but it doesn’t seem like the best focus for me. I am not unhappy with how I look right now. Sure, I have flaws and do not look like I did 10 years ago, but who cares?
I care that I am tired everyday. I care that my hair is thinning because I am not meeting my bodies nutritional needs. I care that I have a headache 3 or 4 days out of the week. I care that I can go 3 days and not eat a true serving of fruits or vegetables.
It isn’t about appearance. It is about life. I cannot do all the amazing things God has for me if I do not take care of the body He made just for me! I don’t want to miss that blessing because I was zoned out on my couch, exhausted.
So, share tips, recipes, or kicks in the pants!
