My D I E T begins today. Dont' worry this blog is not gonna turn into the Oprah diet turmoils blog...just part of my life that I would like to see more discipline in. Much like lent (which ended just in time for me to no longer have chips) I will be mentioning my progress to keep me accountable.
For a person who loves control I certainly do loose control around the buffet table. I need to excercise control in so many areas of my life and I am starting today. I want what everyone wants....a balanced life. The only problem is that no one told us how much work that would take!
I can become obsessive about things I want to control...so I have decided to take small measures of control and be patient with the results.
I am no different then the person who smokes a pack a day of cigarettes...making the decision to quit is always the first step...acceptance of that decision from yourself and others is the hardest step.
I have decided to eat like my body is a temple...eat when I am hungry and to excercise once a day.
I am on a spiritual diet too. Over the winter months the busy hectic schedules of the kiddos sports have kept us away for our house of worship...and I feel the burden of the extra pounds from that too. I am going to excercise my spritual life every morning with my coffee and my physical life every evening with my Hub and Kiddos.
Let's see a happier healthier me.
Taa taa for now!

ReplyDeleteExcellent honey...how very brave and SMART to make it public...I have only told people who asked about living a more disciplined life.
ReplyDeleteI put my Bible reading first and the rest of the
day goes better...I try not to beat myself up when I miss a day or the scales..YES that is the
different thing I have done that is different than my other attempts to lose weight..and I only do it (most times :)) on Monday mornings..I
lost quit a bit at first now it is 1/4 or 1/2 pd a week but its how I FEEL that makes it worthwhile..more energy , sleep better etc etc
I try to exercise at LEAST 5 days a week and it
has become a part of my routine..thank God for
my Air Climber but now I am adding brisk walks with my honey twice a week so you don't get bored.
I'll be praying for you..and as usual I am so proud of you because of all your other qualities especiall your walk with the Lord..because without that does anything else matter?
