"There's No Place Like Home"

Over the last thirty days, I have been out of town for twenty.

For twenty days I have dug clothes out of a suitcase in order to get myself or the kids dressed.  I’ve ironed t-shirts and kept my toothbrush in a Ziploc bag.  I’ve been in the car for a total of 22 hours with a seven year old and a seven month old.  I’ve been to a graduation party, a potluck, two cookouts and a funeral.  I’ve seen friends and family that I haven’t seen in over twenty years.  I have been at the mercy of other people’s refrigerators and cupboards and have been completely thrown off of every routine that I had.  As a result, I have put on about 6 pounds.  Not the direction I want to be headed in.

But I am home now.  I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.  I’ve got my grocery shopping done, my vegetables cut up, and my pre-measured 16 ounce drinking glass washed and ready to go.  I plan on getting out and walking despite the muggy 90 plus degree weather and the poster sized paper that I am tracking my calories on is hanging on the wall with a fresh page marked “Day One“ at the top.

Should I have had a plan in place for going out of town?  Yes.  I am aware that showed poor foresight on my part.  Could I have insisted on continuing my healthy eating habits while others were providing my food and cooking for me?  Yes.  I realize that I could have been more assertive.  Should I have maintained a regular exercise schedule?  Yes.  I could have been more active - no matter my surroundings.

Today is a new day.  I’m ready to go at it again.  If you are so inclined, please pray for me to succeed.  I will be keeping you posted.  I've missed you.  :)
