I've debated and debated on whether to share this or not because it is very personal. So I just want to share a little so you guys won't think I'm just a slacker. Part of having this blog is honesty and if I'm not honest with you guys then whats the point. So here goes...My sister has had problems with addiction for a long time. It's a fact we've all accepted. We've tried and tried to help but nothing seems to work so the best thing I can do is pray for her. I love her but I have to love her boys more. I have to love her boys enough for both of us. She has three boys. We have had several episodes over the last few weeks where I have had to intervene in the boys best interest. I just wanted you guys to know that's where I've been. My husband and I have racked and racked our brains on what we can do for them so we've just been exhausted and distracted.
Whew now that that's out.....I'm really trying to focus on getting back after running. I will have to start from scratch I'm afraid. I'm going to work on at least getting my walking in and working back through the C25K plan. I'm excited about it but know its gonna be hard work again especially now that its 100 degrees everyday.
Since I started the
new challenge on Monday my diet has been much better..not perfect...but better. I haven't got out and exercised yet. I just lost my fire. This happens everytime. I do really well then I loose it. One thing I have this time that I haven't in the past though is you. :) thanks for all the encouragement!!
I love these two pictures that my friends have had on Facebook this week so I will leave you with sharing these...
Good luck Hollie, and I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are going through a tough time:( Even though it's hard, try to remember that you need to also take care of yourself. Even just a 10 minute walk to get out some stress. The quote by Jon Gordon is something I pray every single night with my boys:) You can do this, I believe in you!
