My Idea For This Blog

To set goals for myself that others can see & encourage me along the way.

Ok.....new for 2009-

I have decided that it is too hard for me in my life right now the way it was set up for last year.

The Lord has laid it on my heart that I must choose to ACT loving.......& part of that is being moderate in my choices.

So each day, I will record how I chose moderation, motivated by my love for God or my love for others. Also, I will choose loving actions & (mostly, I need to demostrate it in the area of MODERATION) because of God's love for me!

Thank-you to each & every one of you who will support & pray for me in this endeavor!

FOOD: Jan. 20-26

Jan. 20th: Didn't mark off boxes, but I did eat fairly well. The big news is that at the party last night, I stopped eating when I wasn't hungry anymore-& I wasn't even tempted to eat more-depite all the YUMMY food!

Jan. 21st: Used all DPA & 5 WPA

Jan. 22nd: Not sure how I did, but I didn't even use my DPA because I had a terrible stomach ache!

Jan. 23rd: Ate DPA + about 5 WPA.

Jan. 24th: Ate really healthy, but I didn't mark off boxes-I just forgot!!!! Friday is weigh-in.

Jan. 25th: Did not weigh in, as I had to run up to Denver last-minute. But, I know I either stayed the same or lost weight. Started to actually journal. Not just mark off boxes.

Jan. 26th: Wrote everything down....Big step for me!!! Used a bunch of WPA, but accounted for all of them. Also, EARNED a bunch of points working in that bedroom!!!

MONEY: Jan. 20-26

Jan. 20th: Didn't spend any $-didn't go anywhere!

Jan. 21st: Stayed home the entire day.

Jan. 22nd: Gassed up the van-that's all the $ I spent.

Jan 23rd: Didn't spend any $ except on much-needed groceries.

Jan. 24th: Spent over $200 on the room today, w/ 6 gallons of paint & other supplies.

Jan. 25th: Spent about $20 on the room.

Jan. 26th: Didn't go anywhere. Stayed home & worked on the room!

TIME: Jan. 20-26

Jan. 20th: I was once again up WAY TOO LATE! But, we had another party/get-together w/ our friends, & it just got later & later at home before I went to bed. I think 11:45. So not happening again!

Jan. 21st: Well, the lights went out at 10pm-late, but working my way back down!

Jan. 22nd: I turned off my light at 9:47! Still working my down.

Jan. 23rd: I was up until 10:30. Had some last minute things that needed attending to, & they couln't be done any other time. True confessions, though-I did stay up another 20 min. or so READING! :-)

Jan. 24th: Went to bed around 11:30. I started the work for painting the girls room yesterday, & w/ two trips to the store for supplies, & two people over to help me, I did not get messes cleaned up until WAY LATE!!

Jan. 25th: It was 11:15!!! Still trying to figure out how to get everything done & work on such a big project as I now have going on!

Jan. 26th: 11:30......I'm pretty sure. PAINTED late!!!!! Paint And Brush
