New week, new goals

So this week, I have made a goal to get up early and workout. This morning I got up at six, yes I know it isn't that early, but it is when you haven't slept the whole night. :) Anyway, I got ready and as soon as I started, my little boy woke up. He stayed on the couch for a few minutes and then he was wanting to be held, or his Daddy who was getting ready for work. Needless to say, it was difficult. I did about half of the workout, and then discovered, I was sick on top of the other distractions.

So the first morning has been a bit difficult, but I did what I could and that is what matters. I am not going to sit here and kick myself for not doing more. Believe me, there is a part of me that would love to. But the reality is, I did what I could. I didn't give up, and I still desire to do my best. It was so tempting as soon as I heard my boy's cry to throw my hands up and say, "It cannot be done!" But I made a goal and I am intending to keep it. I have a desire to be healthy, I want it more than I want a cheeseburger. I want it more than sleep, and right now that is a big deal! So I am determined.

My determination is my drive. I know that there are going to be days, and maybe a lot of them, where I won't be able to do as much as I desire. But I know that on those days if I do what I can, then the Lord will take care of the rest. It is an amazing blessing that I challenge you, reader, to try. It is the only way I have been able to accomplish what I have so far. I love a strong righteous desire because it changes your heart. And when you put action to that desire, you change for the better. Your eyes are opened to capabilities you never knew you had. You see things in a more positive light, you are more optimistic. Keep plugging along, don't give up. "The best things in life aren't free." They come through sacrifice, hard work, courage, determination, tears, and love.

p.s. I am going to post my weight Tomorrow.
