Snow is melting but are the pounds

I have always had a great love for the winter. Skiing, sledding, and simply watching the snow fall have been joys and blessings for me in past winters. Why is it then that this winter I am done. I hope it isn't a sign of me loosing my child likeness.

I was sitting in the office today and looked out the window and smiled the sun was out, the snow was shining and you could feel the hope of spring coming. I love that it is the little things that renew our hope. Sometimes it can be the simplest things that just remind me that God is in the midst of all things.

So then I wonder why is it that when I see so little, well I see no progress that it is so hard to hold onto that hope that this time it will be different. If I can be honest with you, which I am going to be... I am struggling. This snow storm really derailed me. It would be so easy to just give up and count it all as yet another attempt, but I am holding on to the fact that this time it is different. THat tomorrow I will be up and back in the gym, and seeing myself moving closer to the goal. I made some good choices when it comes to food today, but I am just feeling so discouraged. Wondering if this will be a pattern for my life or if there can really be freedom from this cycle.

I wonder what it takes to really make this something I don't struggle with... Why is health something so many of us struggle with, we constantly have to put in effort just to win the mental battle to stay healthy.

Well tomorrow will be another day! A better day!
