I need to call a truce with my body! I’m getting a lot closer to 50 and my body isnt what it was or what I want it to be. Most days Im fine and realize we all age and I should have lost the “baby weight” many, many years ago and didn’t. I either need to get really serious about losing the weight or start loving myself right here, right now. It’s funny as much as I hate being overweight, as self-conscious as I am, you would think I would be anorexic! Where is my will power?
Last night as I was journaling I decided to give it all over to God. The weight of carrying such a burden (pun intended!) is exhausting! I think all these years I have only partially surrended my weight issue and all the baggage that comes with it. What would it feel like to totally surrender to the Lord? Would I finally be free of all the hang-ups? Would He say “finally! I’ve been waiting for you to give me all your burdens. Now lets get down to business”. So today I love me- all of me. Today I;m going to start journaling what I eat, when I exercise and what all my feelings are toward the journey. So today I call a truce with me~

Is it rubbing it in to mention that it’s 79* here in So Cal?

I know what you mean though about “…longing for a season that isn’t ready yet.” That is something God has really been working on with me lately.

Thank you for sharing and for hosting. I think your blog is beautiful and I’m always eager to read what you have to say!

I feel so silly “criticizing” but I just wanted to let you know that you should actually be taking your kids’ coats off before you buckle them in. Even when it’s cold. (I always layer with polarfleece, which is okay to do, and cover my kids up with their coats after the buckles are clicked.)

The reason is because in an accident, the coats will compress and the child can come loose from their straps and fly out, OR just gain enough movement to give bad whiplash/internal decapitation.

Sooooo not what your post was about. I hope you know my spirit isn’t to be mean!

We have been having a mild winter this year, but I remember well the long winter of last year. I am very thankful for warmer days and…..mud. Lots of it.

Ack. I feel the same way about winter. It is a hard gift to unwrap.

I feel like spring should come after Christmas too. It’s not spring outside, but it is inside! It’s my house and it can be any season I want in here. {smile}

I hear you. It’s hard to wish for spring in Houston–because it’s 100 degrees before we know it–but with our extreme temps this year, I’ve wished for some warms winds lately.

Love your pic!
