Moving Forward....

Tomorrow starts a new week for each one of us....what are we going to make of it?
We each have specific goals for ourselves and great tasks to complete this week.
If there is anything that I know will help the coming week, it's this:

Remember.....

Take time to re-focus every morning...lock the kids in their rooms if you have to (not really), tell the Lord EVERYTHING....your fears about not being able to lose the weight, the weigh-in at the end of the week, the pan of brownies on the counter, the afternoon snack-time with the kids, seeing your husband's ex, not living up to your own expectations....lay it ALL at His feet, sit there, and listen to His still, small voice. What will He tell you? I'm not sure exactly, but I do know one thing- He's going to reassure you that He is there for you each and every moment this week, whatever you're facing.

There will be temptation! How do I know? Because even Jesus Himself was tempted. So, run from it....get AWAY from the temptation. DO NOT stray from your goals this week, whatever they may be. If you do stray, get back RIGHT AWAY!! Blog about it and move on!!

Everyone's goals look different...DO NOT compare with what others are eating. If you have made a decision to not eat candy, don't eat candy. If you have decided to start eating more bread, eat the bread, but DO NOT compare your eating habits with others. God is working on each of us differently and each of our goals are different.

This is NOT a crash diet, this is a lifestyle...you are making changes everyday. If you are a mom, you are also making those changes for your kids. Journal or blog daily about your successes. Share them with us...EVERYDAY!! Let us rejoice with you.

I believe in all of you....this is going to be a great week...it's NOT going to be easy, but we are going to learn alot, and we're going to lose a few pounds in the process!! Woo hoo!!!
