Get Back Up Again...

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Philippians 3:12

Sorry that I stayed away so long.  There was a death in the family and we left town for a bit but I am back now.  Well....this was the worst eating week for me in a very long time.  In traveling and visiting my family back home....I snacked the entire weekend on JUNK!  Chips, popcorn, fast food on the go.  No calorie counting at all.  I could wallow in it and make the old excuse, "I messed up so I may as well eat what I want".  But the difference in the past dieting and this time choosing to change is that when I fail, I get back up again. 

Yes, as I reflect, I am disappointed that after all the discipline I totally ignored doing what will help me accomplish my goal.  But, my life goes on and I am not going to beat myself up.  I use to be my own worst critic but now I know that the emotion that use to come when I failed doesn't help.  What helps is moving forward and that is exactly what I plan to do. 

There is no magic to accomplishing goals.  It takes hard work and dedication.  When you fall short don't be dismayed.  Do something about it. 

Please keep me in prayer on this journey.  My prayer for all of you is that you continue to move forward in whatever journey you are on and that you remember to seek God through it. 

Press On.
