Determined

I. Am. Determined.

To stick with or start and complete some of my resolutions. I've been reading the Bible every day which has been a struggle for me. It's not that I don't want to read it. It's the time commitment and just doing it... I have been reading, but I'm really starting to lose interest in reading and it might be because I'm still in the books of the law.
I've also decided to be healthier I've taken baby steps to eat more fruits and veggies and have been trying to cut a lot of the junk food out of my diet... Instead of eating chips I've been eating carrots or apples ( I think it helps that carrots and apples are crunchy just chips....). And when I'm craving something sweet I've been adding just a little bit of chocolate syrup to a glass of milk. The other part of being healthier is getting into shape... And I really struggle with this because it doesn't come as easily as it used to, lets face it I'm not in high school anymore and I'm not playing any sports like I did in high school... I miss the days where I looked forward to playing soccer or running after school because that's what you do when you're still in school (I mean that's what I did). So yesterday I put on my running shoes and ran for 2 miles... I'm not gonna lie it was so hard for me just to get out the door. Running wasn't as bad as I thought it would be it was hard to keep going and after about 1.5 miles I needed to walk because it was getting hard to breathe. I only walked for about a minute because the wind picked up and I was getting cold.

I'm really needing an accountability partner(s) to make sure that I've done some sort of active for the day. Can you hold me accountable? I'll even say the magic word... PLEASE?


I'm planning on blogging about my progress, so stay tuned :)

  1. I'll roller blade with you while you run. I'd never be able to keep up if I ran with you. But I can blade like no other! :)

  2. Nene- I'll take you up on that offer but you roller blade faster than I run... We'll have to at least go on walks once you've moved and have time :)

  3. how about this idea. I get an iphone so i can track my runs, we make a playlist then run at the same time, for the same length of time. Then we post our stats, and we can check in before/after the run. What say you?
