I read my bible everyday it is full of great inspiration. Today I went by the library and picked up a book called The POWER OF FOCUS. One of the authors is Jack Canfield he wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul. Well right now it is talking about habits and how we form them. I know this sounds dumb, but I have been working on a habit of keeping my bathroom clean. I am now 5 months into it and now it is routine to walk out of there with it looking great. So now that I have been blogging for about two weeks now I am slowly forming a habit of writing. This helps by put on paper some of my habits that I need to change. I am slowing changing a habit of drinking more water. It did not happen over night. I can now drink 40 ounces no problem. Salad in the house now has not become so foreign now. I made cookies to day and only had two really small ones. It is funny because my son and me looked at them for a long time tonight. He told me Mom I really want some more cookies and milk but......I told him I know son, but then the work out we just did would be for nothing. So we passed, this feels like a victory right now.
So this week I will right a list of habits I have noticed and need to change. You will see the habit we form did not happen over night. With these habit come a lot of excuses as to why this has happened.
Ready set let the journey begin.

TGIF - Up at the crack of dawn
Today is Friday, I would still be in bed right now, but the dogs had to go out. As I have been googling and reading books on weight lose they talked a lot about sleep. It is true what they say about not having enough of it. The longer I stay up the more I want to eat. So a good 8 hours of sleep helps the body. Can someone tell my dogs and body that. It is 4:41 a.m. on a Friday morning. Oh and something else about this Friday as well. If the scale is not broken at my house, which it my be since it is really old. I might have lost two pounds. We all will know on Saturday for sure.
Oh just a note, last night I was sipping water late. Which I drank almost 50 ounces thank you very much. Back to my note be prepared to be up all night going to the bathroom. So I can tell you today I am tired. With tired comes being lazy, here it is again no plan. When oneself is tired I sure do not think of cooking. I hate them fast food places.
There is a book or video I recommend, called Super Size Me. This will really wake your eyes up to fast food. My kids have been in heaven with all the food I have been cooking and they have helped in the kitchen to.
On last thing the Weight Watchers Oatmeal Banana Bread Recipe. It was good, but nothing like have a real piece of Banana Bread lets just say. This is going to be hard find things that taste good, but good for you. This will pose to be very hard for me since I can't have a anything with nutria sweet. My body, gets really sick on this stuff. So I have to find food that leaves it out, which is most diet stuff. I am finding that cooking with a lot of herb has been good.
It is time for me to start and indoor garden. What a great idea, stay tuned for that one.

My Board of encouragement
I guess you all are wondering what this is all about. I went down to my local library about 7 days ago. Since I knew this change of life style was coming up, I checked out motivational tapes and books. At the top of my list is the Bible very good read which I read everyday.
Anyway back to my library adventure. The tapes were from Zig Zigler to Jack Canfield. In Jack Canfiled (The Success Principles) tape and book he talks about road mapping or visual board. So down to the local Hobby Lobby I went for supplies for my board. This is for my goal setting which will help with what I am trying to accomplish. I am very visual so this type of stuff caught my attention right away.
This will be hung in my office so when I am on a meeting or just plan looking around there it will be. A visual of what my goal is in plain sight. I don't want to hide what I need to achieve.
So what is on my board.
1) Picture of me (before) with the original weight on it. I printed this off on regular paper.
2) A spot of me in a month (my min. goal) with the new weight on it.
3) Short term goal (4.6lbs for the month), try one new healthy recipe.
4) To do a 5 k walk, to collect a menu of heathly foods
I will try and take a picture of it this week when I am fully finished with it. Just so you will have an idea if you want to create one as well.
