I've never been much of a planner. It just seems that the time that goes into making a plan can better be spent by actually working. I guess that's because I've taken care of a house and family for 30 years. Sweeping the floors, doing the dishes, paying the bills, filing the taxes in April, changing the diapers, putting the laundry through....yeah, it's a lot and there's so much more. But children aren't really that easily scheduled and neither is life.
I need to change that mind set. I have a habit of putting good books down and not picking them up for months. Of course I start diets and quit them. That's why I'm here. But I have seen in little glimpses why I need to change this.
There is a verse in Habikuk that says we should write the vision and make it plain. There are other places in the bible that talk of making a plan. Yeah, and there's a place that says that man plans but the Lord's will is going to be done LOL! HA.
I walked 2 marathons this last year. And hear me on this. I walk SLOW. I have a chronically inflamed ankle, am often borderline plantar fasciitis, have heel spurs that are mostly in check and wore down by so much walking, and I have water between the metatarsal bones. I've seen the MRI's. It's not pretty. That's on the left side of my body. My right knee has a torn meniscus. It is what it is. My hips get sore and I've struggled with sciatica problems. I don't even try for speed anymore. I strap on ice, soak my feet and go. But I learned that there are foods that are anti inflammatory. So in the days leading up to my walks I ate salmon, cherries, asparagus, and took a lot of aleive. It helps. These walks took me from 2 and 3 am to 8 and 9pm!!! That's a lot of movies watched on the ipad on the treadmill and still very boring.
Anyway, I want to get this weight off these joints, feet, and the knee and see what I have. I believe I will have what will feel like a new body. I believe that someday I will be able to power walk or even maybe, a little jog. That would be lovely.
