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: March 31-April 5

Mar. 31st: Didn't eat after 7:30. Thought about it, but when I remembered my new rule....I knew I couldn't. I still think it's one of the easiest things I have ever tried in being healthy!

Does anyone have any other really easy tricks for me?

April 2: Still doing ok, here. Though tonight, I was SO hungry & it was a real battle.Fencing





MONEY: March 31-April 5

Mar. 31st: Didn't spend any money. Didn't go anywhere but church!

April 2: Spent a bunch of money on Ana's b-day. But, stuck to the list, & the kiddos weren't crabby in the store! YEAH!!

TIME: March 31-April 5

Mar. 31st: Dave got back.......we all were up way too late, as he didn't arrive until 9:30 pm.

April 2: Have been up too late....still. Having a bit of a hard time getting into a schedule. I'm sure it's the combination of a new baby & Daddy being back home.

FOOD: March 23-29th

Mar. 23rd: Finished eating at about 7:35. This is the best "rule" I have ever come up w/! Once I get the hang of it, (& actually REMEMBER that it is my goal), I think it will also be easy & make me feel better.

Mar. 24th: Didn't eat after 7:30! Drank almost all my water.

Mar. 25th: Ditto, except DID drink all my water.

Mar. 26th: Finished eating at 7:30. Did not eat after that, though the thought crossed my mind several times. Drank all my water!!

Mar. 27th: Did eat after 7:30. But, when I remembered my new rule, my fork went down & that was it. Not ANOTHER bite. This is actually one of the easiest "rules" re. food I have ever tried.

Mar. 28th: Ditto.
