Today is the day. I have said this many times before, but I have failed in my endeavors to eat right, get healthy, and stay that way. I have gained and lost the same 20 pounds 3 times over the last 15 years. I am now about to step out of my thirties and into my forties, and I can honestly say that I am ashamed to be in my own skin. I hate it. When I look in the mirror, I see a stranger. The person people see on the outside is not me. I don't recognize myself. I am 20 pounds over weight. Diabetes runs in my family. I experienced gestational diabetes when I was pregnant. I was told that if I did not keep my weight in the healthy range, I would become a diabetic in my lifetime.I am tired of not fitting into my clothes. I am tired of my own excuses. I am tired of my friends telling me I look fine, when I know they think I should lose weight. I am tired of craving chocolate, and needing a cup of coffee at 3pm just to make it through the day. I am just tired of being tired. I want my outside to reflect my inside. I want to be a good example for my kids. I am sick and tired of failure. It is like at some point my mind and body got disconnected. I stopped caring and told myself that there was time. Time. Time....Time.....Two kids later...Time is not my friend.
I am starting a plan today called the Daniel Plan. I plan to track it and blog about it. The Daniel Plan is a 40 day plan. Today I will read the first chapter. I will also be reading "Made To Crave" for the third time.
Each day I will have a goal.
My goal today:
I will exercise for 20-30 minutes.
Each day I will have a scripture.
Today's Scripture:
Daniel 1
Join me.
