Discipline

Wow - talk about being boastful and arrogant! Refer to my post on February 26th. I bragged about losing 5 pounds that week, maintaining my daily bible reading, and keeping my running regiment on track. Since that time, I have only kept up with the running. I gained a 1/2 pound the next week, then lost 1 pound for a net loss of one 1/2 pound in two weeks. I fell behind on my bible reading almost 5 days at one point. But I did keep the running on track - getting down to 8:20 miles on my four mile run this past Saturday.

I had a huge wake-up call last night as I attempted to catch up on my bible reading. I was skimming instead of reading and understanding. So, for the next week, I'll just read two days worth per evening to catch-up. I also need to re-focus my eating habits. Susan pointed out that I need to talk about eating healthy in front of Anna and Paul - and not talk too much about losing weight and placing focus on appearance. She's right - the appearance will take care of itself when I eat healthy and exercise.

I need to stay disciplined in all areas of my life! And not boast or brag about my accomplishments without giving due credit to the One who is in control.
