I feel convicted after I just ate two cookies. I should preface that by saying that I ate a banana before I ate the cookies as my husband was eating a HUGE bowl of ice cream...which I should preface that by saying I was just complaining to my husband not even five minutes ago that my pants are tight...
The past two months has been nothing but transition in my life as I became an ordained minister and had to move completely out of my apartment in NY and put everything into storage for a month. Aside from that I got married in a different state, went on a honeymoon across the world, and then came back to move more than 900 miles away from my old place of residence. I have also started a new job (which is about an hour from home with Atlanta traffic...boo), am adjusting to being married, and to a new gym.
The nice thing about where we live is that there is a gym here, albeit not as nice as my old gym, but a gym none the less. I always say I'm not that sentimental, but the truth is I am. It takes me time every time I move to adjust to new things. I also seem to be comparing them to what was before. I guess it's part of the "grass is always greener on the other side" mentality.
I have neglected things that are priorities to me the past two months which begs the question of whether or not they are priorities. I have sincerely missed my prayer time and have recently spent some time earnestly before the LORD. I have missed exercising in general and am now adjusting to doing things that my husband likes, too (by the way...he can't stand going to the gym!). I have been eating whatever is available and really miss veggies!
Now is the time to stop making excuses. We are just about settled and moved into our new place. I am ready to be done shopping and thinking about making our new place home. It is home. I've just completed my second week in the office. I now know my way around the maze of the building and I know where the break room is so that I can pack a healthy lunch and take it with me. I now have been to the gym a few times and need to frequent it more often (i.e. make it a routine again). I am now figuring out my daily routine (although my job requires me to travel A LOT) and can settle into my health and wellness routine.
This is a new season in my life. It's time to put some new jams on the ipod and get to work.
