Day 29

Where has June gone? I can hardly believe that the month is nearing its close! I wish I had more to say for it. I started off strong, then lost motivation. Then motivation came back, and I was all ready to proceed, then it went away. Hen came back and went away many more times over the course of the month. Having a blog has really aided in holding me accountable. I haven't always posted e v e r y thing because I would forget, run out of time, or just couldn't figure out the words to use. Today is my baby sister's 3rd birthday. She has an oral aversion, so she doesn't opt to eat-- yet we always seem to celebrate with food. But today was a little different. My sisters and I all went to see "Inside Out" in theatres. It was a cute movie and I was excited that we could go with all my sisters. I made a meatloaf and baked potatoes. I need to rethink the way I make backed potatoes, as this is the second time in a row that I've burnt the spuds. After a wonderful day of relaxing and not really doing anything in particular, I went to church with the family and we celebrated the birthday girl with presents and cake. She just liked poking the candles in the cake and spreading it around with a fork. For her not eating any of it, she sure had lots of blue on her! One more day left in this "challenge." Again I have to say this journey has been far more emotional and spiritual then physical. I still don't know why I opt for the unhealthy foods and the choice to stay inside and veg instead of getting outside and running, cycling, or just moving in general. Goals. They are a great thing to have. I will continue to set them and continue to work towards them.
