Strength

I've decided to choose a word for the year. Something that will help remind me of my resolutions, and hopefully help me change my bad habits into good ones. I thought about it a long time. Alot of thought went into just what word could encompass everything I wanted to work on. Finally, I came up with:

STRENGTH

Cause that's what I'm going to need.:)

Some of my goals are to strengthen myself physically, I have a LONG way to go on this one. I'm starting working out, after a very long break. I'm also trying to eat better, as in, no sugar...that's a tough one. Well, it actually hasn't been too tough yet, but my goal is to not eat sweets until I've lost all the extra weight, so we're talking at least a few months here.

Another one is to strengthen myself spiritually. I've gotten out of habit of doing all the little things I should be doing, and I really need to be better about that. I'd like to read the Book of Mormon this year, as well as be more consistent about going to the Temple.

I really want to help strengthen our family. We're not great about doing FHE every monday. Sometimes we do, but alot of the time the evening gets away from us. We also need to read the scriptures together daily. I was good about this before JJ came, but with a new baby things just get thrown out of whack (at least that's my excuse).

And last, I will really need to strengthen my self-discipline. Really. Cause I have alot of work ahead of me, and if I'm not disciplined about it, it's just not gonna happen.

I read somewhere that strength is the ability to exert effort for the accomplishment of a goal. That is really what I need right now, strength. I am ready to have some of me back, so wish me luck!
