New year is coming and new things are coming and going to happen. things have already started to change for the better health wise. Me and the Mr. are both working on getting healthy and working on it together makes it so much better. We have our good days an bad days with it but we get to start all over everyday even if the day before was not the best.
I have decided to start blogging our adventure in this new lifestyle because I think that putting down our experience will help us stay on track and also keep us accountable more.
So far we have been doing the Keto diet as some would say but we do not look at it as a diet but new way of eating. we have found looking at it like that has made us be more successful in this new adventure. Now I will not say that we are perfect and follow it 100%. This is all about retraining your body because it craves everything that you have been putting into your body and not the good stuff that you need in your body.
I have been failing at meal planning this last month and I think its more because I let other things get in the way of me meal planning. when planning meals and then going through the process of making all of the meals or prepping them can be hard when working by your self. on that note I really do not ask for help because I guess I get it in my head I can do it faster and easier on my own.
we are all human and get a way of doing things and having that control can be very important. that is because we have to feel like we have the control and not anyone else and its hard to let someone else have some of that control. I my self still work on that every day. I am learning everyday that I can not do things by my self that I have to ask the Lord for help often and that has been hard.
Wow did I just say that I am giving more to the Lord yes and yes I said that it is hard because we naturally want to keep that control and do it our way and not his way. I compare my relationship with the Lord like my relationship with my kids. I say lets do this and do it this way and they go OK and either do as I have said or they do as they think it should be done. what happens is that I usually get upset because they have not done what I asked the way I asked it. What I am learning it that I am that child to the Lord and I have this thing that I like to say is "the Tiffany way" and I think it is the best way to do everything.
What I am finding is that the Lord does not get mad he just sits their and waits for me to come back to him and say I'm sorry Lord I will do better in following you and doing as you ask. He is always their and has my hand no matter what I just have to learn to trust him more then I trust what I think.
With having a 5 year old I have learned so much about letting things go and not to dwell on the past and that things happen for a reason and things will work out the way they should. I pray everyday for all of my kids and that they are safe. I pray everyday that he will show me why things happened and why I cant fix things that I think I should be able to fix.
I think I have really rambled on enough and will close with this. Trust that the path the Lord leads you down is the path you should be taking because he will not lead you wrong just make sure you are listing to him and not you. we are all his children and he will always be their with open arms ready for you to come in and let him hold you tight.
