This past two weeks has been a struggle for me. I want to give props to my peeps in blog world. I had folks calling, emailing and loving on me . Thanks girls it really really really helped.
I've been without my right foot and my laptop has been out of commission. I thought I would be fine not tracking but the snacking started and I really thought "Oh No I'm going to gain this week". Kathy Reneau reminded me it really is an obedience issue. I also realize that my body was just hungry and craving a lot of carbs. Weird.... I really felt emotionally crummy as well.
All of that to say that I'm on track and feeling like my old self again. I'm also happy to report that I'm down 2.2 from my last post. Last week I had lost 1 lb. and this week 1.2. God is good and I really feel renewed or should I say Reneaued. : )
I'm thinking the hormones are acting up for sure and possibly that hysterectomy might be closer than originally thought. I've had serious pain in the back side and my lower back is still cramping. My foot is still swollen but there are exercises I can do.
Quit Whining Dawna And MOVE MOVE MOVE At least with things that don't hurt your foot. Ha
I read a WONDERFUL book this week. Hint: Randy Alcorn China??? Any ideas?
Did I say I LOVE my friends. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Thanks for posting and being so transparent. You are awesome Dawna and very loved!!! And can I say..."32.7...WoW" I will be praying for you and your female stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you dear friend!!!!

Thanks for posting...it really does help to keep talking about what you're experiencing. Sometimes when I would start writing, I realized I was giving excuses that didn't make sense. They were just that, excuses, not reasons for where I was. Writing it down, epecially for everyone to read, made me deal with reality. Somehow, keeping it bottled in my mind made it true. Having to write it out challenged my rational. Does that make sense? Has that ever happened to you (or anyone else reading this?) Perhaps that's why journaling is so powerful.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good for you not allowing your injury or female issues to control your desire to lose weight and eat healthier. Consider these little setbacks as "life" because believe me, there will always be derailments! I have had to learn how to be flexible and adjust just to be socailly acceptable. It's hard sometimes! But you are woman and I hear you roaring...
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Rock on Woman! I love you! I believe in you!
AHHHH and those of you who stalk my blog but don't post. THESE are my peeps. We cannot underestimate the power of girlfriends speaking goodness into our lives. Jane I could just hear you singing : ) Did anyone see the Girlfriend Ride in Columbus???????
