Pre-Obedience

I am starting this blog in hopes that I will be able to set some goals for myself and actually achieve them. This idea was inspired by my good friend Dianna. We are going to do it together with hopes that others may join if they like and we can feel like we are being held more accountable to stick with our plan of being fully obedient to the Lord.

I have been struggling with my weight since my second son. I have not lost too much weight. I went on the Weighter Watchers diet earlier this year and lost 20 lbs but gained 10 of it back. Also, my friend suggested that I may have a little to much on my plate. I always have something going on and many times I feel myself overwhelmed.

So I am going to start simple and if things go well I will set higher goals for myself. My current goals are as follows:

1) Eat better (single portion sizes) and don't be tempted by unhealthy foods
2) Eat slower so I notice when I am not hungry anymore (no matter how good the food tastes)
3) Exercise at least 3 times a week for at least a half hour (cardio)
4) Be sensitive to the Lord telling me to drop a task if it is too much on me. I need to pass things to other people if it is too much and not burden myself.
5) Watch my spending better. If I have lived without for this long, I don't need it now.

Okay, that is it for now. Gotta get back to work :). I'll update on my progress.
