Day 2

kbenson629

Well....I can definitely say I'm craving food more today. I didn't even come close to getting adequate sleep so I'm sure my body wants to replace it with food. Not gonna happen....not today.

I haven't gone for my walk yet. The plan is to go when my other half and three boys get home from church. It's too cold to push a stroller and walking with Jacob, my oldest, distracts me from the intense pain. My ankles hurt all the time from carrying 268 pounds on a petite, fine-bones frame. I could really use some cheering on when they get home in a couple hours. I'm not only in pain but also lacking sleep.

It's dawning on me that I will have to really be mindful about making rest and overall good care of my mind and body in order to succeed. Obesity, smoking, and past heavy drug use have left me sick, and just like with any other illness, I'll have to slow down.

It's time to make the health of my mind, body, and soul a priority. Today, I'm feeling nothinh but excitement and optimism.

I'm rambling. Time for a nap. These forums are great but if anyone is willing to take my number, it would be great to have someone call and hold me accountable on tough days.

Ok. Rambling complete. I'm just so tired and excited......
