I' m still here and still in it for the long haul!

There seems to be something inherently wrong with posting on this site right after posting on my other site about all the baking I have done. Yeah, well, here goes...
I am still here and I am still in the race for the long haul.
My wonderful BD is still working with me and helping me to stay on track.
I seem to have ups and downs...no different than anyone else.
I struggle a lot with this season of my life and the changes that are going on in my body. Some day's I just don't feel well. I am not going to bore you with all the gory details so just let it suffice that I ache, I have a fire that rages inside of me causing waves of heat to radiate through my body at any moment of the day, I wake up at odd hours for no good reason and can't go back to sleep.
The exercise certainly helps. I know it has to help!
And staying close to a diet full of fresh foods and low in processed foods also makes a huge difference.
My goal right now is to stay the course through the holidays. I am not going to do any mayor denying myself of those yummy treats that I so love to indulge in but I am going to moderate my portions and how many days of week I treat myself to something festive to my taste buds.
I am so thankful for my Bull Dog! She is just the most amazing trainer ever.
Yesterday as I was finishing my stretching exercises and ready to begin my workout, she instructed me to do a particular stretched. When I asked her about it she said I needed it because of the pain in my lower back.
How did she know that?
I had not shared that with her.
She informed me that she could tell by the way I was moving.
Yes, she is amazing.
She knows me.
I love her!

  1. That sounds like a great plan...I have needed to scale back on the workouts some I have just not had the energy. And I think the moderation is a great idea. Restrictions in my diet never work for me. I think the hardest thing for me lately is to not eat the gluten I am allergic to. When we got to things at church or at as a family it is so hard to find gluten free food. I have to remember to tuck something in my purse for when I get hungry. The last few days I have had a little gluten and the result is hives and headaches yuck! Hang in there the Holidays don't last forever and a new year is approaching Where anything is possible with GOD~ And I am clinging to that. I am so ready for a new year this one was so hard I am ready to tuck it behind me and start new. ~Love Heather
