Remember when I said that was was going to have to step it up with my lifestyle change? That I was to the point that the water weight was gone and now it's time to burn the "real" fat? Well on Thursday I decided that was a good day to begin the second leg of my journey.
I was sitting at home, working; yes on my Pampered Chef business, and I received a phone call from my boss at the school. She asked me if I could help get one of our busses back to the school as the repairs had been finished. Of course I told her yes. Well she told me to be at the school by 1 and I was about 15 minutes early and my fellow bus driver that was going with me was about 10 minutes early. I know him so well. We went on and got the bus and I headed back to school. Well I couldn't see parking the bus, going back home for 30 minutes, and driving back to school. So I decided I would just stay at school and instead of just sitting there I went for a walk on the school track. Now mind you, there was a wonderful breeze blowing and it really wasn't to bad outside. I'm excited, I am going to do this. I'm walking along, doing fine when I realize that my feet were stinging. Holy Mother of God! The devil was licking my feet. Don't Google that for a graphic. My eyes hurt and I dumped my cookies right away. lol. Anyway, I was determined that I was not going to give up. I wanted to get in my 30 minutes so I could get my 30 fit points. I lasted about 25 minutes. I had blisters on the balls of my feet that were the size of half dollars. I DO NOT recommend that you walk in 93 degree heat, on an asphalt track, with the wrong shoes. I had on tennis shoes but they were not walking shoes and the heat went right through them. Phew what an adventure I had.
I have to tell you that I have been feeling very at peace this last week. I have dedicated myself to a new lifestyle and I am sticking to it. I am finding it easier to get up in the mornings. I've gone from 3 alarms down to 1, and I am smiling a lot more and having a lot more positive thoughts. There is one thing that I have changed, something that I should have been doing my whole life, and that is I pray. I might no do it when I first get up but by the time I get on the bus, I am praying while I am driving. I praise my Lord for all that he has given me, and then even though is knows all, I ask for something specific and I find that He is there. He is watching over me. I am a human! An imperfect human! Of course that statement leads right back to "What does it mean to be an Adult". All your bills are paid, and on time, your house is immaculate, your yard is cut and trimmed and flowerbeds weeded, your dishes are clean and put away and your kitchen is so clean you could eat off the floor. You are perfect! Well I was told that if I was like that, then I shouldn't be here on earth because only God is perfect. I am so thankful that I do make mistakes, as long as I learn from them. Because I would not want to miss a minute of my life here on earth with my family and my friends.
God's love, joy and peach to you
Laura
