365 Days to a healthier me 5/16/2010

I have been thinking about my life and the way it is going. My mental state has improved since separating from Bill. The main concern I have right now is the Lupus flare I am experiencing right now. This I can not control, I can only follow my doctor's advice and hope it doesn't last long. The is the worst I have experienced since I was diagnosed last October.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change.

My weight is way out of control. I am the heaviest I have ever been and it is causing challenges in my everyday life as well as my health. This is something that I have decided it is time to take control of something I can change. It is time to get serious. I am dedicate the next year, 365 days, to get become a healthier and happier life. This Saturday I will be 54 years old and want to be fit by the this time next year. There are some challenges, many challenges. The Lupus, the meds, the inibility to excercise but I need to find a way to overcome these challenges.

God grant me the courage to change the things I can.

Ok, the next 2 days are all about prep. Weigh, measure, plan simple menus that contain 5-6 small meals a day. Eat healthy giving my body what it needs to live. Eat to live, don't live to eat. Please God see me through this challenge.

God you have given me the wisdom to see the difference. Thank you.
