One of the things I'd like to get right with my life is my health. Specifically, my weight. Shortly after my daughter was born I was within five pounds of my "goal weight." Unfortunately, I've continuously gained pounds every year since. I'm not stupid. I know what I need to eat and that I should be exercising more. For some reason, I just lack the focus to get the job done.
For the holiday, one of our family favorite treats is called "rocky road." It has chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, marshmallows and peanuts. While it contains all of my favorites, I think it is also symbolic of my weight loss journey. Things are going smoothly then I come to a hurdle. It can be hard for me to overcome (peanut) or I may fall down and have a hard time crawling out (marshmallow). Either way, there are lots of ups and downs.
My pre-Christmas resolution is to not eat any of the rocky road which I cut up this morning. I hope that by achieving this small goal, I will be prepared to triumph over the larger "rocky road" in my life.
