I had a teacher in 6th grade that would not allow any of his students to use the word can’t. He said can’t means either I don’t know how or I don’t want to do it, all these years later and I still remember that. When I look at my goals from last month I want to use the words I CAN’T, but that isn’t the truth. To be honest most days I let other things get in the way until I Don’t Want To Walk, I Don’t Want To Plan A Health Menu, I Don’t Want To .
If you have not guessed yet I didn’t stick to my goals, however I still believe in my goals. I’m making just a few changes to them for the next 30 days:
1. Spiritual ~ Proverbs 27:17
a. Read and journal through Mark
b. Read through Psalms in 30 days (5 chapters each day)
c. Pray honestly (reading: Lord, Teach me to pray in 28 days by Kay Arthur)
d. Encourage others to set goals and reach for them
e. Pray at specific times each day for needs of others
i. 8:00 – friends, family & school
ii. 12:00 – Jalin and her team in Uganda
iii. 5:00 – evening activities and those involved
2. Food ~ Proverbs 21:20
a. Increase my water to 64 oz each day
b. Keep a food journal
c. Make weekly menus
d. Find new recipes
3. Physical ~ 1 Timothy 4:8
a. Walk everyday 2 – 3 miles
b. Do 12 week workout plan with Nathan
c. 2 x’s per week do an EA Active workout
a. Create a 30 day schedule that blocks out everything that needs to be done
b. Learn to say no to things that do not best use the time God has given me each day
5. Emotional
a. Surround myself with strong Christian woman who will motivate me to improve myself and grow in my relationship with God.
To help remind me each day I’m going to post a copy of my goals on the refrigerator to be a constant reminder of what I hope to achieve.
