Investing In Myself
It’s time to put the pedal to the metal.
These past couple of weeks have been very eye opening for me. I’ve stumbled upon some revelations and truths about myself and it wasn’t as painful as I anticipated. I actually discovered many pleasing truths in the process. I’m getting to know a different part of myself and I like her, I’m proud of her and I’m really excited for what lies in her future. I feel good in my skin, I’m confident and strong.
I’m worthy. I’m worth investing in and it’s my turn.
I’m not abandoning my family but I’ve moved myself up in the pecking order. My needs have been prioritized and I’m commanding respect where I never did before. And my family is actually happy to oblige because they love me. I just never felt worthy or confident enough to ask until this time.
I’ve purchased a really good pair of athletic shoes. They support my feet well and are very comfortable. I have a FitBit to measure and track my steps.
After much deliberation and prayer I have settled upon a structured nutritional plan for improved health and weight loss, The 20/20 Diet by Dr. Phil. I’ve chosen this plan because I feel as though it is an approach that is very manageable long term and doable for a lifetime. I like the healthy foods in the plan and feel that it will allow me to nourish and improve my entire body. And as I was searching out a plan, it just seemed as though God kept bringing this one to the forefront. So I bought the book and have been preparing for implementation.
This morning I am currently six pounds away from 300 pounds and I’m ready to make that number grow as I make my body healthier and stronger.
It’s time to take care of myself and take charge. Physically, spiritually and emotionally. I’m so excited for the journey.
Here are my tools and plan for implementation. Today I will measure my arms, waist and thighs. I am going to make myself look as nice as possible and take a before picture. Each morning I will read my devotional and some Scripture, I will pray and I will write. Tomorrow I will begin the first five day phase of The 20/20 diet. My goal is to walk a minimum of 5000 steps per day and add to that as I can.
And I will live in each today. I will find something to smile about in each today. I will appreciate what I am able to do and I suspect that I may even surprise myself along the way. I’m so excited!
I’m investing in myself and I am so very worth it.
