Here We Go!

Howdy! What I've written below is from my other blog so.......I hope that you will join me in this journey that I have already started.

This new blog will be about my journey to lose some weight. I have said over and over that I need to lose weight but I have been lacking in motivation something serious! I thought that if I journaled what I was feeling and going through that it would make me be accountable to myself and to whoever else wants to read it. If you decide to go on my journey with me then I would ask a few things of you.

First, please pray for me. Pray that I will be strong and not lazy. Pray that I will make healthy decisions and choices in regards to food and exercise. Pray that I will not listen to the lies of the one who wants to destroy me.

Secondly, encourage me. Let me know if you are reading by leaving me a comment.

Thirdly, please don't judge me. This will be new to me and I need encouragement, not someone who will tear me down and discourage me. If you are going to make in fun of me, then I ask that you please not read what I post. Losing weight is a battle, hence the name "Battle of the Bulge". I want to win and be victorious over it. Knowing that I have friends who are praying for and encouraging me will make it a lot easier during those tough times or plateaus.

I haven't worked out all of the details yet.....weight goals and such. For now, I'm just trying to get into the habit of eating healthy and making the right choices at every minute of the day....literally minute by minute for me.

Blessings!! :)

Encouragement!

I wish I could write in an accent. There have been so many times I could have used that skill.

I'm going to assume that you know I'm quoting the Yoga guy from Couples Retreat. Apparently, I'm assuming you've seen couples retreat as well, although I've just become aware of that.

If you haven't, you should. Great movie.

Anyway, you've already won, just by starting. You just have to remember to consistently win "minute by minute." It's easy to say, between my smokers coughs, but it's true.

You'll do great.
