Week Two

This is the first time I'm updating y blog via iPod so bare with me. I apologise for the future spelling/grammatical errors.

ANYWHO; week two.

Uhg! I feel like I'm letting you all down but my first couple of weeks have been awful! I went out of town and it turns out that the cheapest option of cuisine is not the healthy kind.

I did well at cutting out soda, red meat, and sweets before my trip but during my trip and on Christmas and these past two days I've been bad.

I hope you're not using me as a motivation to keep you going because this is going to take awhile for me personally to get on track. I have a past of many failed attempts of the whole exercise and diet thing.

But I have promised myself not to quit no matter how many times I fail. I'm gonna put a lot of effort into it. The problem is that when I come face-to-face with actually having to choose if I should eat it or not I get this overwhelming notion of: I just don't care. I wish I could care as much in the moment as I do when I feel so fat! Anyways, I'm praying for all of you who are reading and those of you on your own journey to get healthy! I hope your efforts have been better than mine! (Please feel free to share what your goals are and the diet/exercise plan you're on!)

Prayer request: Please pray that God would teach me how to control my urges and habits, not just in my diet but my life in general. This is the number one thing I need work on!
Pray that He'll give me opportunities and open doors that will help push me toward a healthy me.

Inspiration: I remember asking a good friend of mine what he did when he felt like he wanted to quit and he reminded me of this TobyMac song called 'Get Back Up'. Just like the song, he told me that we get knocked down so many times. If we never tried to get back up again we would constantly be on the ground. If we were to stay down when we felt weak it would make all the other attempts almost useless. So if it doesn't come to you the first couple of tries, or even the first dozen! just get back up and try again. There's a reason God doesn't just give us exactly what we want. We benefit so much more from achieving something we worked hard for than things that were handed to us.
Here's the song: http://youtu.be/sOBer-hHu9I

Good luck!
