1. The reminder that I can bulk cook and plan simple meals. Cook the 5 pounds of chicken, the lean gound beef. Put a crock pot of baked potatoes on. Make a double portion of rice. Freeze it all in portions so I have real food to eat when the day is long and exhausting.
2. I'm reading Dave Ramsey book and he called me a dreamer. It was a duh moment. I do dream, how life will be someday. The choices I'll make, the places I'll live. It is an enemy attack to keep me focused on anything but today when I am mostly content with today. A dreamer is someone who has big thoughts, but lack goals and focus to actually get there. Yeah, that's me.
And I'll throw one more in. I have learned more about my body in the past year. What works for it and what doesn't. But I still go to, I should be able to do X. Life just isn't as enjoyable if I don't have Y. But when it comes down to it, do I want to make my body suffer because I have to have something or respect the temple of the Lord and treat it accordingly? I read it can take years to recover from stress. I gave it like 5 months. I was feeling better, lost a few pounds...the took back up the X and set back after set back has me spinning my wheels and tempting me to give up.
In response today, I pushed play on YouTube and worked out!
