The Road Ahead

I would have to say that this is an uphill journey for me. I would wish that once I set my mind to my goals, they would just be accomplished in a matter-of-fact way. This is not the case. I need to pay constant attention to them. It's a bit like having a newborn--they simply require lots of time and cannot endure neglect. That said, I am pressing on, though less impressively than I would wish. I guess I have lost 2-3 pounds (my scale is erratic, but it is somewhere in there). I have been faithful in my walking, pretty good about my vitamins, decent about recording my food intake and the self care. I've gone on hikes and given myself a pedicure. But there is a feeling that it could all slip away if I am not vigilant. The tendency is definitely towards unhealth and inner chaos.

So, today I plan to rejuvinate my goals and the steps I am taking towards them by taking a little extra time to reorient. I'll set aside that space to take the extra few minutes to look at my checklist, to record my eating, to plan some meals, to take my vitamins, to make a plan for the day. Perhaps one of the lessons that is hardest for me to learn, but so necessary to this process, is to take the time that it needs.
