When I made my 2012 Resolutions I divided them into 3 categories...and I left them vague...
They were: physical, emotional and mental... My fight continues...
Physical: I continue to work out. Some days it is automatic and others not so much...I am really good at spending the day...talking myself out of it... This week I worked out 3 of 6 days (I may go today).. But only one at the gym... running is my passion but being on a treadmill is dreadful... actually any machine for me is dreadful...I feel awkward. I am also fighting what my daughter(s) call the old school way of being...the dang scale...it isn't moving... except sometimes higher... it really bums me out... They tell me that that is old school way of being healthy... but but but... My clothes are feeling better...less constrictive...and the distance around my bottom and belly appear to be a bit smaller... So...I must continue... I gotta start eating more protein..less sugary stuff...and less snacking in general...
Emotional: Yes I am emotional...whenever I see love displayed I cry...can't help it... My life in general has been great so far this year..We all seem to be on track...Bo is healing and the girls are thriving... So... what to do what to do...it seems that my value on my Faith..is lacking... I am not thriving and at times I feel empty. Some changes happen over the course of the school year..that is how I look at time.. September is my pseudo New Year... and I feel the loss of a faith community... I have lost the mojo...so to speak. I have reached out to some key people and I hope and pray that I can find away to bring it back... I will continue to be devotional..to pray for my friends... to serve others...but I need more... Bring. It. On
Mental: Ahhh Spanish class how I love thee... eekkk I have homework to complete..today... It is actually going well.. It is fun to be a no face in class...to sit and listen and participate...I gotta work on pronunciation... I am also reading some good books... and that is inspiring all in itself...and work... well that keeps my going mentally...or makes me mental..
I am adding on a new area...CREATIVE... I think in order to be well rounded I need to release some creative juices... I have something planned..but am not going to spill quite yet.. I am the queen of not following through.. I am hopeful that I will get started on this venture today...
January is almost over.. I feel good...full of life and love.. Life is Good and God is great!

My husband calls the treadmill the "dread mill." He runs year round outside in every kind of weather. His secret is that he puts screws in the bottom of his shoes. I will send you a picture of it if you want to try it.
I read that if you are having difficulty motivating yourself to run tell yourself "I am only required to run 5 minutes, and then i'll be done." However, once you actually start running it will be more than 5 minutes.
If you are the Queen of Not Following Through, then I am the Princess. Hm, which of us is older? We may have to change crowns!
Well, good luck on the devo/spirituality thing and the losing weight/getting more fit thing. It most certainly requires discipline on both accounts. I prayed this morning and have been praying more lately that God leads me and I've been dumping things on him, things that bother me and he is bringing resolve. So try that...just good awesome wholesome prayer and saying what is on your heart like you are talking to a good friend.. Today...I feel like eating anything! lol I've been hungry all day. Looking forward to dinner I guess b/c the snacking is not filling me up. lol
It sounds to me like you are doing well on the physical part. I need to get back to that. What's wrong with being emotional? You need to keep your tear ducts flushed, don't you. And creative . . . are you on Pinterest yet?
