the life and times of mumma p Fareham

As women, we’re used to hearing about fitness in terms of inches and dress sizes. We may know better, but we’re up against near-constant reminders and pressures to look good and take shortcuts to get there.

The truth is, being a healthy woman isn’t about getting on a scale or measuring your waistline—and we can’t afford to think that way. Instead, we need to start focusing on what matters–on how we feel, and how we feel about ourselves.

I started thinking about exercise as an investment in myself instead of a chore, and I started focusing on the example I wanted to set for my girls. My schedule was dominated by career and kids–not to mention a very busy husband–but thinking about exercise this way made it a priority, even if I had to get up earlier to do it.

That’s what being fit meant to me: feeling good inside and out, and taking control of my health.

Michelle Obama on fitness, health and investing in ourselves.

I literally hate candida. it’s the actual worst. I don’t even care about not being able to eat sugar anymore, I’m over that now! But I really just want to feel well. I dream about the day when I won’t be bloated or get dizzy spells or feel constantly exhausted. So flipping fed up of the whole crappy thing!

I realise I moan a lot on here, and to be fair apart from candida I am incredibly blessed, I have a wonderful husband, two of the best children ever, a lovely home, a good job, a great church and family and an awesome God. I think I just feel that i would be able to enjoy them a lot more if I didn’t feel ill!!

Oh well…just got to keep going…I can do this!!

spiritualinspiration: “Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever” (Isaiah 61:7, The Message). In the Old Testament when this scripture was written, God’s people were going through a very dark time. They were being held captive against their will and mistreated by other nations. God sent this word to encourage them and give them hope for their future. When the time came, God was faithful to His Word! Are you going through a difficult time today? Let this word bring you encouragement, too. God wants to give you double for your trouble. He is the God of restoration—that means He’s not going to just repay you for every wrong done, He’s going to go above and beyond and make things even better than they were before. If you are facing challenges today or going through a time of adversity, remember, it’s always darkest just before the dawn appears. Your days are destined to shine brighter because God is faithful. As you stay in faith and are obedient to His Word, you’ll receive double for your trouble and see His promises come to pass! Love this incredible truth. It’s always darkest before the dawn.
