Day 362 (day 5 / week 51)

I really am grateful for sparkpeople. For all of the tools it has given me, including the fitness tracker (which I am super grateful for now), nutrition tracker and all of the other bells and whistles that comes along w/ the free membership. I still can't believe it's FREE! If you haven't joined already, you should just poke around. It's free and has been a huge blessing in helping me with my 2009 resolution. I have learned so much, and there is SO MUCH support there out there in sparky land.

Anyway, I walked 1.5 miles in 25 minutes (getting better) and did some sissor kicks. I really need to start utilizing the quickfire challenges again, so I guess I will make that a goal for 2010 as well. I know it seems like I have been mentioning a lot of goals for 2010 but all they really are are just guidelines for me I guess...things that I know will help me to achieve my 2010 resolution--730 days of exercise (in a row) as well as some other stuff.

I have more goals in mind, some that I have been pushing away since they popped into my mind, but I keep going back to "no, that's ridiculous" because I really don't want to do it. It's not about want. It's about need. I need to do them, and I still keep saying "naw, not gonna happen." I was watching Joyce Meyer this morning, and she was talking about faith (my favorite subject). I was thinking about faith and my resolutions, and I decided to follow through w/ those goals, because plain and simple, faith without action is dead (James 2:17). She didn't say this, but it was one of those things that God put into my heart as I was listening to her, and I just have to do it. He will help me through it (if I let Him). Watching her put me in the place to "do what I gotta do," "make it count," and recieve His word.

I can totally do this. I AM a star!
