DAY ONE

I'm starting a weight loss blog! I posted this EXACT post a few days ago- but then got totally nailed with a horrible flu. I was in bed for three days. So... I'm going to start ALL OVER!

I heard in a sermon a few days ago that knowledge means nothing until you apply it. I have ALL the knowledge I need to be healthy, I just haven't ever followed through to actually realize this goal.

Today- my starting weight was 250 pounds. Yeowza! I want to lose 105 pounds, obviously a tremendous task. Because I have tried to lose weight before, I know that trying to accomplish this monumental task without breaking it into small goals is a recipe for failure.

My first goal is 10 pounds.

I am also in need of a spiritual renewal. Just as knoweldge without application is fruitless, faith without works is dead! For the next 30 days, I will be taking on a Husband Encouragement Challenge set forth by Revive Our Hearts (a ministry by Nancy Lee DeMoss) to honor my husband.

These are the tenets of day one:

* You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband, or to anyone else.

* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband . . . to your husband . . . and to someone else.

I'll let you know how my weightloss and challenge goes each day.

So....
Here we GO!
