I shouldn't eat as much sweet foods as I do. I should make the time to exercise daily.
I now get exercise at least 4 times a week and am a lot more active in general. I have also drastically cut back on sweets, probably more than at any other time in my life! I have lost 20 lbs. since June '09 and 10 0f those have been in the past two months!
I shouldn't spend so much time online. I should schedule my time better.I have cut back on my internet time, I spend much less time on facebook, and am working on curbing the desire to web surf. I actually have a schedule that I have been sticking to, at least most of the time.
I shouldn't put things off till "later". I should make my list of chores and stick to it.
I still put things off sometimes but there have been a lot of things in the last couple of months that I've finally "gotten around to". I did make lists of chores, I have daily chores, weekly chores, and monthly chores posted on the back of a kitchen cabinet door. I check it every day and try to accomplish the chores posted for each day.
I shouldn't do anything else in the morning before spending time with the Lord. I should go to bed earlier at night and wake up earlier in the morning.
This is an area that I have definitely improved in! I'd say that 5-6 out of 7 days of the week this happens! Praise the Lord! He is really using His Word in my life and I know it is changing me. Sure, I have the occasional day where something (usually someone) in the house demands my attention before I've even opened my eyes in the morning, but most days, His Word is first on my agenda. (I still go to bed too late but I have been getting up earlier).
It makes me so happy to know that I can still grow and mature. To know that God hasn't given up and me and that He's not finished with me. He is so good to me!
