Tara- Week One!!!!!!

I got Tara's update today.  I am so excited for her!!!!  SHE ROCKS!!!!!!!  I have cut and pasted her entry.  ENCOURAGE HER WITH YOUR COMMENTS!!!!!!!  SO EXCITED!!!!!!

Week One
So I just started the first week of the plan here is a bullet of ups and downs

Strengths
I drank my water all days but one.
I survived the weekend at my in-laws without falling completely off the wagon and even got a run in
I did not listen to that voice telling me to give up, who was I kidding
I got some clothes from a friend that are a size smaller.
My bras are too big (not sure if Troy would agree this is a good thing).

 Weakness
Pam is out of her mind thinking I am giving up my morning coffee or diet mtn. dew on date night.
I only got in 3 days of working out
Some days I depend on my own strength too much and fail miserably

I want to weigh in weekly.  Still got to talk to Pam about that one.

Wow I am a little surprised that the strengths outweigh the weaknesses.  It felt like a long hard week with many obstacles.  The first 3 days were the hardest because I was craving sugar.  Every time I wanted something I shouldn’t have I prayed for starving people in the world.  Perspective.  I have been praying for eternal perspective.  This isn’t just about me.  This is about my little girl, who is a spitting image of me.  This is about being a temple of God.  This is about no sin being between me and my God.  This is about me fully surrendering every aspect, even chocolate chip cookies after a hard day, to Him.  I am putting one foot in front of the other and taking one choice at a time. 


I am just thrilled!!!!!!  Very proud!!!!!!!  ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!!!!!  TARA-----YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Game On,
Pam

  1. That is so wonderful! The first two weeks were always the hardest for me when starting a new plan. I found that I wanted things I shouldn't have and only cared about it during the first two weeks..lol. My "plan" has been in action for over 2 years now and I still have my days when I fall off the wagon. But as you see the positive changes your commitment to this change will become set in stone and you'll know no other way! Keep up the good work Tara!!
