Finally, back to running this week, but I am struggling. I ran Sunday and Monday on the treadmill, but yesterday I had to push myself to get 1.45 miles out! I have had a stomach thing and haven't been eating much, so I am hoping that is the explanation for my fatigue and weakness. I feel better today. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to run further and with more energy. Praying it will be so.

Also going back to WW tonight since I have been out for 3-4 weeks. I have not weighed myself, so not sure what I will be facing, but I fully expect some kind of weight gain. Oh well, today is a new day. Success starts today for me and this will be a long journey for me. I am just trying to move one meal at a time, accepting the setbacks as well as the successes. May God give me discipline.

I have been working on my menus and grocery lists. My goal is to have 12 weeks of menus with a corresponding grocery list. I have four weeks done right now. One week is nothing but Clean Eating recipes, the other weeks are WW recipes. I want to be disciplined before and during school which starts in a month. I will be working on one week at a time until my 12 weeks are done. Should make shopping and planning easier.

Blessings!

Lots going on here. Family in town for 3 weeks, then my daughter and I went to New Mexico on a mission trip with the youth at church. We helped Broken Arrow Bible Ranch hold camp for around 160 Navajo and Zuni kids. It was great! Praying even today that the Lord continues to work in their lives and that the seed that was planted will grow to a sincere faith in Christ Jesus.

I actually weighed this morning just to see how I did because I just ate whatever they had. I lost 2 pounds! I think it was all of the walking all over camp to check on our students. On the way home, I tried to stay away from the milk shakes everyone was getting, too.

Hoping to get back to swimming and jogging this week. I've missed it, but today is a rest day for me. I am exhausted!
