Day 234

There is so much power in action, even the littlest steps. This morning I dragged my butt until the last minute before I went for the short run I promised myself I would go on. I even made Ellison and Adjei breakfast, which I don’t usually do for Ellison on a weekday. I was in my running clothes but again, I was not feeling it. I finally decided to go and I jogged for 11 minutes. It was probably maybe a mile. I came home and I immediately had a burst of energy and I felt so proud that I followed through with the small goal I set for the day. So for the first half of my day I was eating really healthy.
Now to my eating for the evening. Like I said, the first few meals of the day were great. Then I went to check out a few preschools and I really liked one but it was very expensive. I started to feel anxious and doubtful about the next few months. I'm acting purely on faith and that is really difficult to do. I know nothing is guaranteed but living in a financial situation where, really, there is no guarantee is really scary. I decided that all I can do is live fully with faith and keep on movin forward. So with all that said, I tried to be good for dinner and I wasn’t. I had two hotdogs and two smores. Not the worst thing I could’ve done but I have plenty of healthier options in my fridge.
Tomorrow is a new day. I will try again with my eating and I will track the full day, even if it’s painful. However, it won’t be painful because if I feel anxious or doubtful I will call people who love me. Or I will pray for someone who is in more need than me. This quote was posted at one of the preschools. Enjoy!

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
