Day 5 of 72

MUCH better day today.  Yesterday was so very hard.  I caved a little and had some corn chips... but, all in all, I feel I am doing well with the eating portion.  Trying to make new habits in the workout area of my life.  I did the Can You 24 DVD today and it was fun!  Gonna strive to workout tomorrow and Sunday in order to make up for the 2 days I skipped this week due to housework and STRESS!  I know, there should be no excuses... but this week, there really were valid ones for me.

So, this is my journey to JOY.  Working out and following a plan really did help me to feel joyful today.  It was a beautiful day outside, opened the windows, cleaned everything.  It felt good to get all that done.  Success!  One day at a time.  I've tried to just go encourage someone else when I feel down on myself... that always seems to help!  Looking forward to more great days ahead.

Thought about the people who have spoken wonderful things over me... like this being a year of JOY and taking care of myself after such a terrible time of trial last year.  Also, thought about how a friend advised me to bring sin to light or else it doesn't get exposed and changed.  I've worried that I am too open with my goals... I guess the real fear is that I will disappoint myself AND others!!  But, exposing the goal somehow makes it real and also ushers in help!  Help is needed!
