The Weight of it All.

For the past week I have been halfway dieting, halfway obsessing, halfway eating well, halfway working out, halfway doing it all. I've never really been a girl who worried about her weight. I've dieted a few times, but never something I put much thought in. I am about 5 feet 6 inches. Right now, I weight 143. Thats what the scale said tonight. I successfully put on 10 pounds over the Christmas break. I've always just ate what I wanted, until the day come when the scale made it clear that eating what I want and having little physical activity is going to put me down a road that I do not want to be on. I am realizing that by living with that habbit of selfish eating and laziness, I am by no means honoring my body, which is dishonoring my Creator as well. I want to live a life holy and pleasing to Him, and that includes what I eat and what I do with my body. So with this said, I have set some goals for myself:

  • Eat healthy. This does not include chips, maccaroni and cheese and nothing else for dinner, cupcakes, ect.
  • Exercise for atleast 3o min a day. Cardio and weights and abs. It's all important.
  • Drink more water than diet coke. Lots and lots of water.
  • Be self-disciplined. Just say no. It's tempting, but YOU can do it!
