New Year............second chance (third, fourth, etc.)

I started out with this blog thinking I could lose weight. And boy, do I need to lose weight. I have two boys and a husband who needs me to take care of them. I have a family history of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes....the whole spectrum.

I realized this Christmas season that I need to take control. Many friends took pictures, which I was in just by chance. I saw that I had gained even more weight this year.

I am going to have to make some goals......I need to live. I don't think God is done with me.

I am tired.
I get stressed easily.
I have back and knee pain.
I need more energy.
I don't sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I believe I may have sleep apnea.

So...............

Goals for 2014

1. Have quiet time each morning.
2. Exercise each morning.
3. Keep up with multi-vitamin and supplement.
4. Study my Korean every day.
5. Do my study from the Tuesday night study everyday.
 6. Have family time with God every night.

I have to have God's help with this. I know this.

So, God.....I need You to do this. I want to change my life now! I know that my body is Your temple. And you have given me this temple to use for YOUR purpose here on earth.....not for my leisure.

II Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

Wow! There it is.....self discipline.....it is a Godly trait!

So, God.....let's do this!
