The trials and tribulations of the past have finally settled down. Life is a natural ebb and flow, and I need to remember that. Having anxiety over life events is getting to be a stumbling block to my journey.

Yet still I persevere…

Got on the scale at the doctor’s office and was surprised to see another 10 pounds down from my last weigh in. Not yet time for my A1C but I was shocked how resilient my metabolism has become through the rough times. I truly was expecting a weight gain, not a loss. Knowing that meant I didn’t have the feeling of failure in my mind. I accepted what I had done from a dietary standpoint, and then I moved on. It really is a testament to personal growth.

So I end my day today overjoyed and amazed at myself. I need to learn to be kinder when I stumble and gracious when I fall. Just going to end here with my all-time favorite song.

Here I go again on my own. Going down the only road I’ve ever known. Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone. And I’ve made up my mind, I ain’t wasting no more time… -Whitesnake
