I have been so busy and lacking in time to update my journal. I am pursuing a non-surgical approach to my health issues and it involves a lot of follow-ups and tests. It feels like such a dizzying whirlwind and it is all-consuming. When I am at home I am playing catch up with what I need to get accomplished at home. However, I realize I have to make time for my journal and food diary because it keeps me focused and honest. I haven't been as consistent as I could be and one day I only ate one meal because I got caught up in the busyness of my day ... I ended up with gas and bloating that I am still fighting 3 days later. It's so important that even in the whirlwind I ensure I do not lose sight of the weight loss aspect of my journey and that I continue to nurture body/mind. I have come so far already but I have not arrived yet ... there is still so much I need to accomplish. If anything, the time away from documenting and journaling proves to me how important it is to remain connected with my journey and keeping track ... I was beginning to feel very disconnected. It's good to be back .. even if I can't journal every day, I will check in more often ... it's more for myself than anyone else (not being selfish, just being true).
