Well all, I am really tired of this whole "fresh start" thing. I drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of late night pizzas this summer- which led to the demise of 40 in 14. I'm pretty disappointed in the way I have been eating and my lack of any physical activity. And I am allowed to be disappointed. Here is the thing; I believe that the way you treat your body is how you feel about yourself as a person. I stand by this wholeheartedly.
Walk with me on this because I have a weird point- a good friend of mine recently told me if I saw my life as a dirty old tee shirt. Of which I responded, what in the world are you talking about? But she said this, if you think about your favorite shirt, the one you wear when you know you look good and feel good. Then you think if you got a huge stain on the front of that shirt, would you be disappointed? The answer, yes. But think about that old ratty work out tee with the holes in it and the caked on deodorant stains, the one you wear when you're cleaning the bathroom or painting. Would it matter if you stained that shirt? No.
So there are two ways of looking at your life. One. What's one more stain to an already gross life. And two, I have value and when I am stained I am allowed to be disappointed but I am still loved.
So here is the point: I make mistakes. I am still learning how to grow up and take responsibility. I'm learning that the way you treat yourself matters. I'm learning that I see myself as an old dirty tee shirt but I'm not.
I have less than three months to start progressing again. No, I probably will not accomplish 40 in 14, but 20 in 14 isn't bad. I need to be healthy again. I can so clearly see the affects my diet has on my life and something needs to change. So here is to attempt number 207 of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Tomorrow I will restart my journey to a healthy lifestyle: mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
