My 3 Goals

by Heather on July 18, 2010

SO I’ve though a lot about what may be missing in this weight loss journey of mine. One thing that came to mind is everyone keeps saying “It’s a lifestyle change.”

For the past few weeks I have been looking at my weight loss efforts, and I think they really haven’t been something where it’s become a lifestyle change for me.

With this I came up with three goals that I think addresses this issue:

  1. I am going to eat at home more. At least 5 times per week.
  2. I will plan my workout schedule around my life, and not the other way around.
  3. I am going to focus on what’s real and true. {Philippians 4:8}

I have already started to implement these three goals and within this week I plan to blog more about each one more in depth.

This has certainly been a lifestyle change for me. I believe CHANGE is the theme of the year for me, and my family. Simply because everything IS changing and I just know it means God is up to something awesome.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

What Would You Miss?

June 28, 2010

The other day I was eating lunch with my kids at the kitchen table and my son was of course being the little joke teller. As I was looking at his facial expressions and laughing at jokes only a 6 year old could tell and still get laughs at, I was hit with the realization [...]

It Doesn’t Make the Problems Go Away

May 21, 2010

Lately I have been truly realizing that over eating – along with ANY other self destructive behavior does not make the real problem go away. When you can’t eat, you can actually see the real problem. So many people prefer to run from their problems, me included. Sometimes I hide behind food, my husband, my [...]

How High Can it Go

May 19, 2010

Sometimes I sit here and wonder how long I will be posting weekly weigh-ins… I’m guessing the number will end somewhere in the hundreds – but let’s hope not! That seems like such a long ways away. Considering I’m only on week #9. I do remember once at weight watchers the lady said that 5 [...]

I’m Good Enough Because the Lord is in Me.

May 12, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot about affirmations lately. Over the weekend I had some major back problems and I had to remind myself WHO was in me, and that actually gave me the strength to walk and move around like I probably shouldn’t have been able to. Lately I have also been feeling like I’m [...]

The Real Problem is Me

May 11, 2010

I may say the problem is you, but really it’s not. I may say I’m not happy with you, or criticize what you are wearing. But really what I’m trying to say is I’m not happy with me and I don’t like how my clothes look on me. You see it’s easier for me to [...]
