          I have a hard time saying I’m wise, especially when I keep making the same foolish choices. I know what is right – the right foods to eat, the right amount of sleep to get and the right duration of exercise. Do I always eat the right food, not unless ice cream and M&M’s is right; do I get the right amount of sleep, not always; & do I exercise enough, no not even close. I walk 2 ½ miles twice a week and I’m doing core exercise 3 – 4 times a week. I need to up my exercising I know that, my excuse is the heat or I don’t want to go without my husband, oh I could come up with several.

          One of my goals for these 30 days is to have a menu so that I make wise food choices. I have not taken the time to put in practice. It won’t be too hard it just means taking the time to do it and then doing the shopping that goes with it. I have a plan for how to lay it out – have “theme” nights, pasta night, soup & salad, crock pot night, pizza night, and so on. So all I have to do is plan out 5 or 6 menus (plan a leftover day). It isn’t that hard to do it is just a matter of doing it. I’m the one who is sabotaging my efforts.

          I have support from my family on eating healthy. I have this support mostly because they don’t want to cook but they want to eat. Everyone enjoys whatever food I cook, no picky eaters, so all the excuses I have are my own. So that brings me back to I don’t act wise, I’m rather foolish when it comes to my health. That doesn’t have to be the end of it though with God’s guidance I can become wise about my choices.
