I know at times some of the goals that I set in the beginning were not so realistic. I reworked those. Last year I started out saying that I wanted it to be my 100 year. I wanted to lose the last 100 lbs. I wanted to swim 100 miles. I want to write at least 100 blogs. I wanted to do 100 of 100 things. I had hopes that it was really within my reach. Well I missed it again.
I got close on one of the 100's but some I have to say I don't remember it all of them were. The one I was sure I could do no matter what was swimming 100 miles. I did great had some small set backs but bounced back pretty quickly ... till I messed up my knee. That was back in Sept and I hate to say that I haven't really gotten back on track from that one .... yet. bbhhhuuuttttt I am not going to focus on those down falls. I'm not going to focus on how far I didn't make it. I made some strides that a year ago I would not have even thought about.
Soooooo it's time to redirect what my goals are. I am also looking for some or more than someone ... some people that will help me with this. I am calling this my 365 year for a multiple reasons. I am looking for people to pray for me. I am looking for people to encourage me. I am looking for people that will come along side me and walk this with me when I feel like stopping.
This journey is not just about my physical health. It's about my spiritual health as well. I want people to hold me accountable to be on track on a daily basis. I want to get healthy. Exercise at least 30 minutes on a DAILY basis. More importantly that I spend at least that much time in the word daily. I waste toooo much time. Let's be honest we all do but I am soooo miserable with parts of my life and it's time to stop.
I have been thinking about this for the past few weeks and every time I turn around I get a conformation that it's the right direction to go. This is a number that is coming up every where I turn. Today it popped up in a way that I really didn't see coming. This will be a better year.
I am not going to focus on weight goals. I am going to focus on what I do on a daily basis and believe that the rest will fall into line where God wants it too.
In the past this blog had been more about the physical journey but this year it will be different. It will be about all of me. God has given me a life to live for Him and that is what it's all about. If I can't put Him first nothing else will fall into place like it needs to be. I believe God has given me this as where I need to go.
As a quote from one of my favorite movies goes " I will praise Him if I win and I will praise Him if I fail" ... ok not an exact quote but it's what I feel about it.
In the past years God has helped me but when I let Him down and started to get out of focus that is when "my" goals got in the way and I failed.
I have things that I want to happen. I have goals I want for the long term but they are not going to be my focus everyday like I have in the past. This year the goal is about one hour a day. ORRR maybe I can combine the two into one lol ... at least 30 min of exercise AND at least 30 min in Gods word.
So who's gonna help me? Who's gonna commit to pray for me? Who's gonna drop a line or two here and there to make me keep going? Who's gonna help me out this year? I want to do this but I NEED your help. Will it be you?? Come on guys I need your help, I can't do it alone.
