It's day one!

Are you ready God...here we go!  I have a mission for the coming year...I'm sure there will end up being more than one as I go through it, but my #1 mission is to lose 100 lbs...with the help and support of my Savior!  I have been up and down with my weight many times over the years and as the story goes, I always end up gaining more than what I lost.  I actually need to lose more like 120 lbs, but we'll start with 100 and see where we can go from there.  I just started to realize that God gave me my body and like everything else, He has entrusted it to me while I am here on this Earth.  It's really His though, like everything else...so I need to start treating it as such.  As Jesus tells the Pharisees in Matthew 23:26 "Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside...and then the outside will also be clean".  I think the reason I have failed so many times is that I just haven't been going about it the right way...I have been focused on the outer me rather than the inner me.  It's just time...beyond time and today was day one...it could have been better since I didn't get any exercise in...but the diet part was good.

Help me Jesus...I'm lost without you!
