What is healthy living? I suppose it looks different for each individual. I believe there are some “must haves” in each case though such as the usual incorporating some form of proper diet and exercise. Again however, to some that means going vegan, while others just cut out red meat, or just use portion control. Also, some are good with a 15-20 minute, moderate speed walk a few times a week while others require some form of intense workout daily… in any case though I believe “acceptance” is a key factor all the way around. Accepting you need a change in life style, accepting things won’t be perfect over night, accepting your limitations with exercise routines, accepting that others won’t agree with all your decisions, accepting… we could go on and on. In my case accepting that if I skip God’s Word each morning my day doesn’t go as well. I’ve also had to accept that my spouse and I have different limitations and requirements (which is important if you’re partners in the life style change). While we both have Fibromyalgia, he has a number of other health concerns that affect our exercising together (it’s not a road block, just a bump in the road). There are also things I can’t and won’t eat but he can and does so it affects our meal plans. These are simple challenges to get through and not things that change our FOCUS! He works hard to provide for our home, therefore I need to work hard to get us healthy so that we can enjoy life and all that he provides through the grace of God and His provisions.
