Two years ago, today, I said good-bye as my husband rode off
for his second deployment. I had a
decision to make. Do I sit at home and
let myself worry and fret? Do I get up
and do something? I chose to get up and
do something! I decided to set a goal. I will lose at least 75lbs before he comes
home in year!
I
ALMOST met my goal. I was a little
disappointed, but how can you be upset when you lose 60lbs? That’s how much my oldest child weighs. That’s a whole person!!!!! I worked really hard, and my focus went from
worrying about my husband to bettering myself for WHEN he came home.
Today I
am face with another decision. I have to
decide if I am going to allow another 6 years before I lose the baby weight, or
will I get up and move? I want to move! I want to look back a year from now and say “Look
at what I did.” I want to set a goal, focus on how to make it happen, and DO
IT!
While
my main goal is to become closer to God this year, I feel that bettering my
health will only help in facilitating that goal. Hard work produces discipline. Discipline can only make me closer in my walk
with the Lord. Besides, if I am not
taking care of the “temple” He gave me, I am not honoring Him. I want to honor Him in every way this year.
OK, so
here are the goals for this year.
Besides being AWESOME, I am aiming to lose (you guessed it) 75lbs. I am aiming to participate in three 5k
races. I will read the Bible, the entire
Bible, in 365 days. I can do these
things! In the end I will have a leaner body,
stronger relationship with God, and I will be able to wear all those
clothes I wanted so bad on Zulily today!
You go girl! You are awesome!!!!! I'm here for you.
