A Phenomenal Sense of Well-Being
Since I began watching my eating and taking special care of my body, I've been rewarded with the most incredible energy and sense of wellness! It's true that you are what you eat, so if you eat healthy, you'll be healthy.
Sleep is deeper and I wake up refreshed and invigorated. There are no mid-day energy crashes since I eat four servings of fresh fruit for lunch, as well as a whole grain bread sandwich. Caffeine and sugar are no longer a part of my world, and water has become the most delicious drink on the planet.
I've begun climbing Stone Mountain, something I've not done in nearly 15 years, and even though the going is slow, I'm doing it. Dean and I are going to Hawaii in October for our honeymoon. I want to visit Diamond Head crater and am using my time at Stone Mountain to prepare me for the 200+ steps to the top of the volcano. So far, so good. My heart rate has been in the target range during my walks and I feel so much more incredibly agile than I did three short weeks ago. I've not made it to the top of Stone Mountain yet, but within a month, I should be able to make it. By the time we leave for Hawaii, I'll be totally prepared for the trip!
My spirit is being fed, too, and it's amazing, but I feel an intense closeness with God since I've begun taking special care of myself. Now that my focus is put on the present moment, enjoying the process of healing that's taking place right now, I'm able to tune in more fully to what's going on at this precise moment and feel the peace that stillness brings. I credit God for giving me the capacity to make choices. This choice, the choice of eating properly and exercising, has been a huge blessing in my life.
Already my clothes are looser and I look better. Dean can even tell I've lost some inches. I've got 12 weeks till my church wedding. I can't wait to see me in 12 weeks!!!
Peace! :-)
