| It's a Brand New Day! |
I thought my life was like a carousel ride before, spinning and spinning with me waiting for it to stop and to land my feet on solid ground. Well, that was just in relation to weight loss. Over the past month my whole life has been under construction, with a change in jobs, ministry, romance, school and moving. There were weeks when I cried almost every day for being overwhelmed by so many changes in such a short timeframe. For six weeks my eating habits were in the toilet because I lost my regular patterns for not working. I still exercised, but ate tons of my favorite snacks - mostly carbs of course. I think at one point I gained five pounds in a week, but was able to take it off by the next weigh in. I didn't know which way was up.
Today I am much more grounded, though still stabilizing emotionally. I have a great arrangement for a job, working for missionaries to Costa Rica, which has been like a dream. I have no big expenses (rent/mortgage/utilities, etc.) and it's beyond what I could have prayed for. My days are peaceful, with lots of time for relaxation (I'm now getting aquainted with deck life and hammock lounging), walks and exercise, and a writing project I'm about to undertake. I won't be in school until January, which gives me plenty of time to get the rest of my life under wraps and make progress on personal projects. Life is good.
Thanks to all you folks who left notes for me. I'm still here and still loosing bits of me.
Blessings! |
