This morning I woke up with the lyrics of “Fight Song” going through my head. I am grateful for it because I really need it to get myself back in gear.

I know it has been a while since I have written a post. A month ago I got a nasty, infectious food poisoning that caused me to have colitis and I was out of work for 3 weeks. With this I could not eat fiber or dairy. I pretty much could only eat protein and starchy carbs. I have been avoiding starchy carbs for over 4 months and now it was the only thing that I could eat that would ease my stomach. I started feeling better 2 weeks ago and was able to return to work but it has been very difficult getting off the carb train. It is like starting all over again. But that is okay and I am going to do it. I just needed a little motivation and waking up this morning with that song in my head was all I needed.

The past week I have been praying for God to give me the motivation and determination to get off the carb train and back on track with healthy eating and exercise and I know He answered my prayer this morning. Waking up with this song in my head really woke me up in more than one way. I am ready to get back on track and to fight this and take back my life. Hope this motivates and encourages you as it did me. And remember… God answers prayers!
