1. Lose weight. I've just recently started watching The Biggest Loser and I've realized that I weigh the same, if not more, than some of the contestants. I'd love to be on the show, BUT I don't do well with people yelling at me. To help me with my workout needs, I decided to bring The Biggest Loser to my house. I bought The Biggest Loser game for my Wii. It is such a good workout game! The first time I worked out was for almost 40 minutes and I was sweating like a dog. I think it said I burned like 60 something calories. It has different workout levels for beginner, intermediate, and expert. I, of course, am a beginner. :) If anyone needs a good workout program, I do recommend The Biggest Loser game for Wii. You can do it with or without the Wii Fit balance board. I'm going to make myself stick to this. I'm tired of being fat. I actually have some motivation. My best friend LeeAnn sent me a message on Facebook today about going on a cruise. We've decided to do it March/April of 2011. I want to look good for this cruise!
2. Improve my Christian walk. I am such a terrible Christian. I am trying so hard to delve into the Bible and improve my prayer time, but I have failed so many times. I once had a friend in college say, "How can you have a relationship with someone when you don't spend any time with Him?" That question is so true. I truthfully know that the devil knows how to interfere with me growing closer to God. I know I need to read my Bible, but so many other things pop into my head that I could be doing instead or when I do take time to read my Bible, my mind races and my anxiety acts up. I just have to remind myself that "The Lord did not give us a spirit of fear..." I'm going to start out by doing my Sunday school lesson each week. We have a great book that has each week separated into 5 daily devotions. Next week we are starting a new session on Daniel by Beth Moore. I'm excited about this lesson. I want to grow closer to Lord. I want to be able to spit out instances in the Bible to back up why I do things the way I do. How can I witness to someone when I don't have a Biblical standing to back up what I'm saying? I know no one is perfect and that we all falter in our relationship with Christ, but right now, I'm truthfully going to strive to be better.
By His Grace.
