February 8, 2011 - Day 11

I like knowing it's day 11 and I'm STILL ON TRACK - - not perfect - - but not giving up!  I think the fear that I may be the only person in the group that 'stays the same' at weigh-in is the motivator.   I would hate 'what others would think' but most of all I would disappoint myself.  Being a quitter is easy...this is hard so it must be right! 
 
Proverbs 6:9 is about laziness.  Good stuff those Proverbs.  I read - I memorize - but do I apply to my daily life? Isn't that talking the talk but not walking the walk?  Same with the healthy trek we folks in 'Lighten Up 2011' are taking.  180 days of putting our health first which will turn into a lifestyle.  That's what I'm shooting for.
 
Devotions, piano practice, exercise - I did 20 minutes on bike yesterday at the senior center:  YEA!  Up from  2.  Add healthy eating and you have my game plan.  I am so thankful and grateful 'Lighten Up' got my attention. 
 
By the way, my brewery's stock has dropped considerably in the last 11 days and I think it might be my fault.  Sorry Mr. Miller but I have to admit I feel a lot better and Walt doesn't have to empty the recycle bin as often.
