This is the first of hopefully many posts on my journey. I prefer to take this journey on my own. I don't know why it irritates me to be accountable to others for my goals. Maybe it's that if I fail, I don't have to look them in the face or hear I told you so. But maybe it's because I want to just walk with God on this journey all by my self, just God and me. This way I can hear Him when He speaks to me and others won't drown Him out. SO, I'm going to journal this so that if i have a change of heart, i can share.
My goal is this. I want to lose 50 pounds in the next 60 days. I will be 42 on January 25th and if i'm going to be healthy and happy with myself and others, i need to take off a pound or 2 or 85 or so.... i'm already 2 days behind but i think i can catch up. I want to walk each day and be careful of what i eat. Lets see how this plays out, shall we? Today i weigh 278 pounds. By my birthday i want to weigh 228 pounds.
So, here's today's prayer
Lord God, help me on this journey, to grow closer to you and become more familiar with what being healthy looks like. Inspire me to do the right thing even when it's the narrow road and show me how to help others with my story. Thank you for every single thing I've endured in my life and thank you for the Triump to overcome what I thought I couldn't. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
