Hi yall, I hope everyone is doing great and safe out there. 🙏🏽
I decided to wait until Monday to take my after pics for Summer LYC cause we were out of town for the weekend (which I regret now)
But then Hurricane Beryl hit us here in Houston late Sunday night/early Monday morning and we lost power for 3.5 days 😭
I couldn’t get the after photo on my tablet or even print it out.
So no pics for me to send in for the challenge.

I pretty much went way down hill after that and felt like complete shit cause I felt like all my hard work was for nothing but today I had to have a really serious talk with myself spiritually and emotionally.
I know all my hard work was NOT for nothing, I was just feeling bad for myself and not being honest with myself.
I have literally lost 18lbs since working consistently since March with QW and LYC.

BUT…
I can’t keep having the same emotional response to stress when life gets hard.
Yes, we went through a complete hurricane and trees and fences blown down BUT that doesn’t mean I should resort back to my bad eating and drinking habits to soothe and numb me.
Ugh I’m so tired of this cycle and I feel like a fuxking broken record. I really had to speak to God today.

That’s why today I made a promise to myself and to God that I’m going to listen to him, dust myself off and pick out my workout right now.

Anyways, I was almost not gonna say anything in here but something told me to speak on it out loud because it would be a promise out loud I’m making for me and my quality of life.
And who knows, maybe somebody went through what I went through.

Nobody said life was easy, but we really don’t have to make it so hard and shitty if we can help it and control certain things. That’s what I keep telling myself.

Again, thank you to anyone who reads this.
I just want to heal and be the best version of myself. 💛
