Hello, bloggosphere!
It, unfortunately, has been nearly six whole months since my last blog. Yikes!
And what a crazy six months it's been. There have been dates (or just one date but who is counting
It, unfortunately, has been nearly six whole months since my last blog. Yikes!
And what a crazy six months it's been. There have been dates (or just one date but who is counting
?), there have been trips, there have been visits from amazing friends and cousins and man oh man have there been weddings.
In the past six months God has blessed me with a job closer to home, with new friends and closer relationships. He has opened my eyes to how wonderful His love for me feels and that's always amazing to remember.
Six months ago I blogged about how I was going to change. Physically, mostly. That... was a dud. The plan lasted for a hot minute or two and then I remembered how good Krystal Chicks' tasted and how awesome Mountain Dew was.
The past few weeks though I've really been working on getting back on track. It's been about three weeks since my last Mountain Dew. I did have one half a can of grape soda about a week ago and man did I feel crazy bloated afterward. Maybe that's a good reminder of how icky they are? I don't know.
I have tried Weight Watchers a few times in the past with little results each time. I always do good at first and then I just stop trying. I stop planning. This, my friends, is because I hate pre-planning when it comes to food. But today I made a trip to the grocery store and planned out my calorie intake for every day this upcoming week.
So here we go. Another week long experiment of sorts. And I will, I will, I WILL be bugging the bloggosphere every day this week with a short entry of how it's going. So heads up: look out for the ranting of a hungry girl.
I also picked a heck of a week to attempt to start working out. I already have two days where I'm subbing and then going to work at my night job. But I've got to find time to get it done. It's got to become a priority. The truth of the matter is, it's never been about looking good. It's about being healthy. Sometimes I forget that.
My other goal for the week is a little more personal, but probably more important to me than either of the other two. For a while now I've stepped away from having a daily relationship with God. Don't get me wrong: I'm in a relationship with God every single day. And I'm so thankful He loves me.
But the thing is: Relationships go two ways. And I simply haven't been putting in my share like I should. I worship a jealous God, and sometimes it's easy to overlook that crazy fact because He is so loving and so SO great to me. But, what kind of child am I when I'm not doing my part to speak to Him?
Trust: If I don't call my momma, I hear about it. I think, for a little while now, I've been hearing about it from God, but I've been using excuses of not having enough time or whatever to practice my selective hearing with that. Time to cut that out, right?
Three goals: Watch those calories. Walk that mile or two. Walk with Him.
I think I feel a good week coming on.

Can I just "like" this? I love hearing your voice. And you just crack me up with your turn of phrase. :) Miss you girl.
