Let's Try This Again...And Again...

So most of you that know me well, know that I absolutely LOVE food! I really try to eat healthy, drink lots of water and workout, but sometimes I fail miserably. I usually start a workout routine and keep it up for a couple weeks, but then I take a break for a day, and...well you know what happens. I start making excuses of being too busy or needing to do other things.

I have made a couple of goals for this year, that hopefully I can really keep. The first is to drink only water throughout the day except for a glass of orange juice or milk in the morning at breakfast and tea or koolaid at night with my meal only. I know most people would laugh at this goal, but it really is a struggle for me to grab the pitcher of water instead of the tea or juice. The second goal is to workout at least 4 times a week for at least 20 minutes. I really do enjoy working out and the energized feeling I have after doing so, but I guess it is just getting the motivation to get up and do it! The past couple of weeks I have been going through the Jillian Michaels workout routines...wow, I am so out of shape! My last goal is the most important and the one that I long to see through. I want to wake up early each morning and begin my day with the Lord, everyday, not just when it "works" out. I know the only way my relationship with the Lord will continue to grow is for me to be in scripture and prayer daily. And this is what I desire. How can I be a godly example and teacher to my children if I am not daily in His word?
