Back to Habits

Past two weeks I struggled to get back on the same habits that helped me lose weight. This entire week, I've been able to excel and have finally found the consistent momentum back to daily healthy habits.

1. Eat 1,200 - 1,300 calories / day (daily record on MyPlate @ livestrong.com; w limited calories, I really do end up selecting more veggies, fruits, and lean protein & minimal sugar and oils)
2. Keep a consistent sleep schedule
3. Walk the dog Morning & Night (I've been sprinting with my energetic pup)
4. Drink lots of water throughout the day
5. Run 3-4 miles / day
6. Track weight daily at the same time (fluctuation happens but maintaining a daily graph is exciting to me!)

We all have luck, but the real luck happens when you set yourself up for it... the success.. in every way you can. Then just let everything happen naturally. Lucky me. =)

Renewed & Revived

Hello.

So here I am again, praying that I can pick up from where I left off a couple months ago. Since my last entry in July, I have done nothing different to improve my health. Rather ironically, I stayed pretty dehydrated since the entry I wrote about dehydration lol. Good news though is that I was renewed spiritually and refreshed myself with a spiritual hydration.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2

I spent the entire month of July working hard in preparation for the ECKCM up in Michigan. I coordinated the Outreach Department, and we raised over $3,700 to rescue one North Korean Refugee hiding in China. Praise the Lord!

There is less than 4 months left until my sister's wedding, and I am ready to push hard until the finish line. Still have a good 40 lbs to lose by D-Day, 2 more 10k's to run by the end of this year, and many more self improvement to work on.

More to come in the weeks ahead regarding my personal health progress. Until then, I will leave you with the new addition to our household:
