Today's Thoughts: Are You Going Thru A Storm?




Once again my thoughts for today are stemming from a sermon from a recent Sunday!  My pastor wasn't thinking about weight loss, but some weeks I find tidbits that apply to other areas of my life, such as my/our weight loss journey and #victory2017.  This was one of them!

"Storms should not define our life!"
We have storms of one type or another all throughout our lives and especially when we are talking about a weight loss journey! You can not be on a weight loss endeavor without some form of trial and error, some type of plateau, some kind of storm arriving!  It's just how it is!  BUT, these storms should not define who we are as a person!  Who we are as a beautiful God made human being.   We should not allow a storm to deter us away from our path.

In your "storm" ask yourself this question:  What direction am I facing?
Are you allowing the storm to knock you around? To knock you away from your goals and dreams of #victory2017 ?  You must realize that it is a storm and it too shall pass, so get your bearings.  Storms are temporary!  The vacation and it's temptations will end.  The mama visiting who "has" to cook for your family will end.  Decide what is important each day and move on. 

Getting thru your storm takes effort:
Take time to read positive quotes or scriptures.  Update and read your motivation board each day.  Pinterest & you tube are for more than silly things.  Use them to your best advantage during this time!  Start a Pin board that motivates you to stay on track!  Listen to music that uplifts you and motivates you!  Most of all keep your eyes focused on your goals! 

I so want to reach my own goals in 2017 and I found these thoughts inspiring, so I hope that they are a source of inspiration to you too!  #victory2017
