Keeping My Eye On The Prize

The thing about making life changing choices, is they have to be for life to be life changing. Maybe not in all situations, but definitely in mine. I've been a slacker in my recovery plan. I can tell a difference too. I am back to taking my pain meds almost daily again, and even then, they aren't always enough, so the pain is very debilitating again. My legs shake when I walk again. I can simply step wrong and hurt myself. I drop things because my arm goes numb (that's how I broke my first laptop). And let's not even discuss what happens when I forget to squat and bend instead. It's frustrating that I have gone from an active, ambitious woman, to someone who has to watch every move, or be zoned out on pain pills.
So, back on my health regiment I go. I have to start drinking my water regularly, eating a more natural diet, and cut back on my caffiene, at least. The exercises are easier to regain, but the whole diet thing is difficult to me. I like my coffee, tea and junk food, and unfortunately, like so many other adults now-a-days, they became a way of life, more than a treat. This isn't fair, but what in life is fair? I can do this. I can make it permanent. When I achieve my goals, I will fly.  Isaiah 40:31 They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. I can do this, then I can run.....
Remember...talk to God, you need it, and He loves your voice.....Listen to people more than you speak.....You can't take the words back after they're said, so watch what you say when you speak....treat others as you want to be treated......but most of all....GO BE PHYSICAL...tomorrow may be too late. (don't learn this the hard way like I did)
Peace!!!
