Starting the new year typically makes one reevaluate and set new goals. This year I am determined to make my health in all aspects, physically, mentally, and spiritually of utmost importance.
To keep me motivated and able to accomplish this “goal” realistically I had to evaluate what I fill my life with. My calendar is filled with going out to eat with friends, running to shopping trips with family, appointments, and other events I could not say no to. I looked at how I spend my days and found my days are full of over cleaning, nonproductive computer time, and some times those darn soap operas.
After I took this assessment of my life I decided I needed to decrease my commitments and those areas that will rob my time. By minimizing my to-do list and commitments I will now not have the excuse I can not take care of my health. I will have the time to ensure my husband and I are eating healthy meals, including exercise daily, and always having time to study and be with the Lord.
I am so motivated!

Happy New Year~

Good stuff! I find I’m too darn tired to do anything in the evening…I just want to veg out! I just hope I feel back to normal after baby 3 comes along (and about a year after that!)

WHOOHOO! You’re definately motivating me! I too, have a similar goal. There are alot of frivolous pleasures that I need to deny myself in order to get where I want to be.

This is a reminder I needed. Our biggest reason for eating out is that we’re too tired to make a homemade me. What are we so busy doing and is it really worth the end result of what is happening to our bodies?
Thanks so much for sharing!
