Health and Fitness Battle

I have had some good journeys and bad journeys when it comes to getting healthy and fit.  About 9 years ago I was able to lose about 60 lbs. and get into the healthy range of my height and weight.  Then my life made some drastic changes due to stress with moving, job changes and other things that all I did was eat and I gained a lot of weight.  Now I am in the process of trying to loose that weight again.  Like always, it is another journey.

I will be completely honest and say that I love food.  Put a good sugar cookie or something chocolate in front of me and I will eat it.  I tend to lean towards eating the bad things for you all the time.  I am though trying to change that.  I have been doing a little bit of research on what types of foods are better for you and compiling a list that is available to me so that I am reminded of which foods are healthier choices.  The struggle is always there for me.

I have always been a very active person.  The cool thing about my current job has a great relationship with a local fitness gym that gives great deals.  So I was able to get a family membership with my parents at a low monthly rate and my mom splits the cost with me.  Right now I am going about 3 times a week with a hopes of going 5 days a week in the future.  I just keep trying to build up my strength in my entire body.  Some days I don't want to go or I am tired from working all night, but I try to make it and do something.  I am learning balance when it comes to when the best time is to work out.  It is very interesting to me.

So that is the last thing I will mention in this post, balance.  Every journey in life has to have balance.  That is what I am trying to learn all over again.  Balance needs to happen in our personal lives, relationships, fitness lives and our spiritual lives.  It is a must.  My final thought today, where in your life do you need to do some balancing out in?
