It’s Okay Not To Be Ok
I am exhausted. I am tired. I am weary. I am struggling. These words are hard to write, hard to see on my phone screen, hard to experience. These words are also liberating, comforting, and exhilarating. They are my words, so let me explain. 2020 came in like a flood. Our family experienced a significant…
KP’s Wellness Journey Continues
Last week, I was wearing a hoodie, gloves and sweatpants. This week, I have to pull my summer walking gear back out! This weather is inconsistent, but I have to stay consistent with this regimen. I am so proud to say I didn’t gain any weight this weekend! Weekends are my Kryptonite. I am the…
KP’s Wellness Update
My BS and BP were awesome this morning! I am so grateful! I’ve been walking my same 4 miles/day, 5 days a week. I tried the 5 mile thing last week and realized, AGAIN, that I’m not ready for it. Purple Pots, LLC is keeping me nourished with salmon salads during the week. My water…
Happy Anniversary to Me!
Last October, I slowed down, revamped my wellness plan, ONCE AGAIN, and took off on another leg of my journey. The first 20 lbs melted off of me like butter. The next 20 lbs hung around like a migraine, but eventually went away. This last 20 lbs????? It’s like a tick on a dog! I…
Time to Regroup
So….My doc appointment yesterday was as expected. My numbers were not horrible but not where I want them to be. Being sick the last couple of months threw me off my game, my plan that I was successfully executing (or at least I thought I was). Now I have to regroup, which is nothing new…
Doing My Part
Got another 3 miles in this morning. As of today, I’m down 40 lbs with another 10 to go to meet my PCP’s 50 lb weight loss goal. Hopefully before the year is out, I will be taking less meds. This week reminded me of one thing: I have to take my meds, eat right,…
Complete Rest Is Complete Faith
I pushed myself a little further and did 3 miles today. While walking and praying, I heard clear as day, “Remember, complete rest is complete faith.” My prayer is for an obedient spirit to enter into complete rest. OAN: September is a new month so I’m setting new goals. I’m being gentle with myself but…
Ebb and Flow
Hey y’all! Life is about ebb and flow. Some things we’re good at, other things…not so much. That pretty much sums up my life. Give me somebody to talk to, I can talk all day (insert my Ike Turner Voice). Taking meds, eating right and losing weight….STRUGGLE! I have struggled with this part of my…
Magnolias and Momentum
Walking in the rain is NO JOKE! However, I am determined to keep my momentum going. I am motivated by my recent weight loss and exercise regimen to keep pushing forward. That doesn’t mean walking in a steady downpour is pleasant or something I even WANT TO DO. But you know what helped me this…
