my 3 areas of self-improvement:
weight loss:
did pretty well until this weekend and totally blew it. according to charts i saw this morning, i should be 30 pounds lighter to be in the middle of my healthy weight range. so i will attempt to start anew today. i have only eaten when hungry, but it is only 10:30. the most difficult time for me is the evening and night. my goal today is to take it one moment at a time to eat healthy and exercise at least 15 minutes. it's not much, but it's a start. i just want to start developing better habits.
daily devotional:
i got a new devotional book by joel osteen called your best life now. it's already helping me to have a positive attitude and outlook. yesterday's reading was taken from hebrews 11. i got stuck at verse 34 "...whose weakness was turned into strength." i take that as a promise. i have a number of weaknesses and insecurities. i will have faith that they will be turned into strength.
ministry:
i spent hours working on it last week. i finally got the brochure done, i think. i'm planning to concentrate on 2 sessions this week. one is about leading with scars. i'm starting to feel more comfortable with the thought of public speaking...most days.
one other area:
i'm trying to get my house organized and cleaned up, so if i can just get one thing done each day, i'll feel like i actually accomplished something. i'll be making a list today of things that need to get done.
3 comments:
I write down my goals in a 2010 goals booklet. It is always in my wallet and I review it regularly. It keeps me focused on what really matters to me.
Enjoy and success!

It is such an encouragement to see you posting stuff like this! As a woman, I often compare myself to other women... "SHE works full-time, has kids, cooks dinner every night, and keeps the house clean! What am I doing wrong?!?" It's nice to see that other women struggle at times too. Thanks for keeping it real!
thanks for the comments. yeah, i think i put a lot of pressure on myself to be a superwoman, just as i'm sure most women do. i may not be right. i may not put myself in a good light. but i do try to keep it honest. i know i can't be the only woman who struggles with weight, home, relationships and ministry. i consider it my journey. i just gotta keep walking and trust GOD to guide my steps. i hope that i am an encouragement to others who find themselves on a similar journey.
