When You Fall Off...But Don't Stay Down!

If you've followed my journey, you know back in August of 2022, I began a wellness program to better myself and my health. I was doing good, and then slowly started to allow some of my bad habits to creep back in and get comfortable. My gym routine began to lessen, and I kept thinking, "I'll get back on track __________"...and of course I wouldn't get back on track.

Once the holidays came around, I gave myself permission to get out of the wagon. I gave myself permission to indulge, with the small voice telling me to not forget my why. My reason to put myself first and to make sure I gave myself what I needed. Well, now I'm here and I've put the weight back on, I'm not working out, and I am starting to get back into a place of, "Who would even care if I don't stay focused?"

Well, I give a damn about myself, my health, and most importantly, I care about my happiness. I deserve to be happy, to love myself and who I am. Cause at the end of the day...I plan to be my best self, solely due to the fact that my purpose, my babies, my life, and my God are what I know I have to focus on for my future.

So, did I fall off? Sure the hell did. Am I staying down? HELL NO! I refuse to allow any negative thoughts room to be in my space. I refuse to go backwards. So I am doing the work, and I pray that if you are struggling, remember your why. Remember your purpose. Remember that YOU deserve to be happy. Remember that you may fall down, but you will ALWAYS GET BACK UP!
