Never Lose Your Motivation

So you see I am 9 days into my healthy living, self-control lifestyle.  And already I haven't been held accountable or posted until now.  What is the hold up?  Am I not doing this new thing wholeheartedly? No I am not.  I weighed in today at the dietician and gained 3 pounds, which is only a 1 pound difference from when I weighed in at church on January 29th, but an actual 3 pound difference since last visit.  Either way it goes I must move more and portion control.  I must change in my mind that I am actually missing out on something.  I can't be discouraged. So the word or thought for the day is to Never Lose Your Motivation.  No matter what you are doing new, focus on the motivation, not on the valleys and the mountains.  So I, in exercing self-control, will stop having such a lazy spirit in this area.  I will stop surrendering and giving in to that "Lazy Spirit".  A lazy spirit can filter its way into so many areas of life if we let it.  We can make excuses for why we don't do something.  But now I am accountable for my actions, for the way I look and how I operate.  As I said there will be setbacks, hiccups and road blocks. My hubby is a road block he has tried to influence me to stay in the condition that I am. Never Lose Your Motivation, not for fellowship dinners at church, not for special occasions and surely not for a loved one.  Keep focused on your goal, post it on the refrigerator, dig out that picture of yourself when you was a healthy size, make a collague of places you want to take the new you. I plan to lose this extra pound to 3 pounds before Sundays weigh down weigh in.

The Message for today is Never Lose Your Motivation
