Slow and Steady...

I haven't been eating that great and I definitely haven't been exercising. My sleep has also taken a nose-dive since being home. I feel it. I'm irritable. Sluggish. Moody. Anxious. Hot/cold. 

Why do I do this to myself?

Well...I LOVE food. And I LOVE my friends and family. I like to celebrate my friends and family with food.  So, coming home for 10 days means constant and unending reasons to celebrate! 

But it's taking it's toll and it's gotta stop.

Today, I made a delicious orange creamsicle Shakeology and then went for a run. I didn't have my running watch so I had no idea what pace I was running or how far I actually went. But I ran...ok, jogged, for 43 minutes. And it felt marvelous!

I have a plan set in place for when I'm back in Cali next week...I'm starting 21 day fix on July 6th. I'll use the time I'm on planes (WA to TX then TX to CA) to come up with a meal plan and grocery list so I'll be ready for success once Monday hits.

I know better but sometimes it's hard to do better. That's where grace comes in...it's so easy to extend to others, but why is it such a challenge to show myself the same grace I so easily give others?
