Seems everyone’s talking about their “Word Of The Year” … right?! I’ve never picked a word before, but this year something happened. While reading a friend’s post, asking others what their word was, I had an epiphany! My word came to me at that very moment-without any real thought on my end.
TRANSFORMATION
Makes perfect sense, really. I’ve decided this year is all about me! Not in a conceited way, don’t get me wrong. I’m putting my health & fitness first this year. It’s been almost 2 years since my Mom passed away-2 YEARS- that blows my mind. In those two years; I’ve added about 20-25 pounds to my already “fluffy” frame. Sad thing is I didn’t even realize I’d gained the weight…it just sorta crept up on me. I knew I’d put on a few pounds, but I had no idea it was that much! Time to make a few changes.
Luckily for me, I’ve found the perfect plan and fitness coaches to get the job done. I’ll be sharing more on them in the near future, once the inches start falling off me! This was the first week of my new lifestyle change & I’m so proud of myself! This clean eating ain’t no joke, but I’ve stayed on track & haven’t deviated from the meal plan not even once.
I realized that cheating on meals would be cheating myself- and I don’t wanna do that. My health and well-being are at stake here-so no cheating allowed! I’m in the process of transforming my body.
My mind is also being transformed. Out with the old ways I thought were best for losing weight and in with the way it SHOULD be done-the healthy way. I’m starting to look at processed foods differently, way differently!
I’m doing the detox/reset portion of my fitness program right now-100% clean eating. At the end of these two weeks, I’ll be visiting my Doc for some followup blood work. That’s another way I’ve decided to take care of myself. I’m not going to avoid my Doc anymore. No more burying my head in the sand when it comes to my health. I’ve known I needed more blood work since the summer- just kept putting it off because of what I might hear. Either way, good or bad, I’m ready to hear it & do whatever I need to take care of my temple.
Along with transforming my body, I have other areas of my life that will be undergoing major transformations.
My spirit. I’ve decided I need to start going back to church on a regular basis.
I’m exploring new work-related opportunities, opportunities that seem to be finding me. One involves working with children and the other deals with travel.
Transformation; that’s my word for 2017. I didn’t find it, it found me.
Do you have a word of the year?
