1. The house is passably clean. Thanks to the app I told you about last week Home Routine, I've stayed on top of some of my house cleaning. This has been a great help for me because I tend to get distracted and overwhelmed by a huge house full of mess.
2. If you've been following my weight loss journey, you know that I've been making strides toward my goal of getting into a size 10. I started at an 18, so this goal has been a long time coming. This week I met that goal! It was such a surprise! But the bigger surprise is that I missed it. How could I miss it? In my mind, I'd moved on to an even bigger goal before I even reached my original goal. You can read about my minor breakdown here: Missing the Forest
3. The bigger success in this goal is that I've gained perspective. I've been relentlessly working toward this goal for 20 months and wanting it for 9 years, since my first child was born. (Again, how did I miss this?) Since my meltdown, I've come to realize that God has been answering my pleas for help all along this journey. I was afraid, at times, that he didn't want me to have a body I felt proud of because it would cause me to lose humility. In fact, I've been humbled every step of the way. He's given me strength to push through the frustration and the incredibly challenging workouts and, harder still, dietary sacrifices. He is with me and has been all along and will be as I move forward in my fitness journey.
