Tomorrow I'm switching up my workout routine. I'm going to do Insanity. I have attempted it many times since we bought it about 10-12 years ago. I have never completed it, but I plan on changing that this year, this time. I've been working out & getting more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I just printed out the schedule and I'm going to place it somewhere I can see it and cross the days off daily.

HERE'S TO CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE & SELF CONTROL!

I don't remember if I posted about my conversation with a trainer on here or not. Anyway, I took her advice and upped my calories from 1200-1400 to more. I stopped counting, tracking, obsessing, weighing and I LOST WEIGHT! I've been going up and down from 2 numbers that are like a 4lbs difference for a while now. I went under the lower of the 2 after taking this trainers advice. This was actually very scary to me to think about not tracking and even upping my calorie intake. The more I eat, the more I feel like I'm going to gain. I have been in prayer & working with the Lord to fix and heal this track of thinking.

I've stopped counting the days. I am no longer doing the covenant diet. As a matter of fact, I'm no longer doing any "diet". I am going to heal my relationship with food and learn to make better choices & not to binge. I'm just going to make healthy food for the whole family, and not worry about making more than one meal at a time. That gets exhausting real quick.

Day Eleven

I've been having a rough week or two with my mental health. I've had a couple mini breakdowns and spent a lot of time in bed over the past two weeks and I absolutely HATE it! Jo and I talked about it, and I have been taking my medication as prescribed but the only thing added was a couple of supplements, which I'm going to take out of the rotation and se if everything gets back to normal. I really don't want to have to have an emergency session with my dr.

I'm not sure I'm going to complete anything other than the no coffee on this covenant diet. I am aware its only been elven days, but I feel like its too restrictive and that I need a bit more freedom. Considering counting macros again and trying to do it that way, but I'm not even sure anymore. Some days, I think I'm ready for moderation but I'm not sure. I just want to find something, stick to it and see results.

Working out has been almost non existent, besides a mile walk, most of these two weeks. I hate admitting that, but its the truth. I'm going to finish up this week by catching up on house chores (maybe that'll help me feel better & help with my mental state) and restart working out next Monday.

Wednesday the kids and I are going to Houston to see my parents. I'm excited to see them, but I'm not looking forward to the car ride there. But at least we're staying the night before coming home and I don't have to make the trip twice in one day.

Day Ten.

There isn't much to update today. I did a bunch of relaxing, took a nap and watched Split with Jo & JaKobee. Tomorrow its back to working out, I've got to stop slacking in that department.

Day Nine.

Yesterday (day 8) went kinda okay, food wise but I had major anxiety all day which resulted in being in bed for a good portion of the day.

Today, on the other hand, I started it out right at 5am. I got straight to my devotional & quiet time & made sure not to wake Jo. Once that was complete, I got ready for the day and went for a walk. Once Jo woke up it was breakfast time, so I cooked & then we did more bible study followed by a walk with just the two of us. We spent most of the day grocery shopping then deep cleaning the house. I've been active all day & I loved it. I was feeling fantastic up until about an hour ago when my stomach started cramping real bad. But no fear, JaKobee got me a bunny heating pad this past Christmas, comes in handy!

Day Seven

I've made it a week, and I've got to say it was a rough start, but now I'm feeling like I'm on cloud 9. The past two days, I've slowly been changing the narrative in my head. I'm actually beginning to like myself, starting to take care of myself & see myself how God sees me. I may be a sinner, but I am righteous in His sight. This is the only body I'm going to get, and if I want it to make another 65 years, I've gotta switch things up and start taking care of myself.

Even talked to a fitness trainer today, and even though I can not afford the one on one training, she gave me a bunch of wonderful tips. I'm feeling like 2024 may actually be my year.

Goal 2: Make it to onederland
