Crazy schedule.  Crazy mom.  Crazy busy.  Crazy love.  Crazy kids.

Crazy emotional. Crazy mess.  Crazy house.  Crazy fun.

Crazy Life.

I think we all suffer from our own kind of 'crazy' in this life.
This entire month has been CRAZY.
I'm finding as I go through this year, however, there isn't a whole lot of calm, still, or quiet to my life.
And yet, even in the midst of the crazy I have had to commit to keeping the consistency.
No matter how crazy it gets, I've kept my heart in it.
DESPITE
....the missed meal prep....
....the kids' poison ivy and stomach flu that kept us from the gym....
.....  dance rehearsals and time spent on hair and make-up....
....a 2lb weight gain...
.... forgetting to pack my snacks.....
..... leaving my breakfast eggs on the counter, forgetting to eat in the rush....
.... the too late nights, and the early morning wake-ups....
...the DQ blizzards with the fam...
I kept as close to my eating plan as possible.
I found opportunities to move my body even if I wasn't at the gym.
I read a devotional that reminded me of the truths and gave me a healthier perspective
of food and of fullness in Christ.

I tell ya, it is never easy.
This past week I had two different people compliment on how great I'm looking.
I'm hanging on tight to perspective lately.
Yes, I gained 2 lbs.  That was hard.  Not going to lie.
I couldn't give up.  I couldn't let myself wallow in defeat.
I had to reflect on what had been different.
What could I do differently?  Did anything need to change?
I finally settled on, yes.  I could change some things.  Add a little bit of this and a little less of that.
However, I also decided what was 2lbs in comparison to what I have lost?
I got some advice.  Don't stop.
Well, I'm not in the business of stopping.
I might be a bit "stuck" in the since of dropping lbs this month compared to my loss in the previous months, but I'm still making gains in all the right ways!
( I lost 6 by the next weigh-in!  Redemption!)

So when crazy comes knocking.
OR, you wake up one day and realize there is never going to be a day
(Monday, someday, next month...)
better than right NOW to make a change.
Jump on the crazy train and ride it all the way to success!
YES.  I love cliches'.  :)

Be crazy.
Love yourself enough to be the change.
Make crazy progress.
Eat crazy good.
Set goals and crush them like crazy.
