BODY1/20/12
I calculated my BMI today with one of the generic punch in your height,  weight, age, gender, wrist size , and hip size.. I have a 26.6% of body fat.. I have reset my goal on lose it to 128. Which would put me at 20% body fat.. Meaning I have 31 lbs to lose.. Which I will be happy with.. I have no desire to have a six pack.. I do have a desire to have a healthy body and mind..

I can still eat the same amount of calories, and I will add exercise gradually.. I walked a mile today in 18 minutes.. and weighed 159.4  this morning and plan on working out after my kids go to sleep..My legs are already sore from 5 minutes each of squats, push ups, and crunches I did last night..So 15 minutes then a good stretch.. I could totally feel it on my walk today..But it wasn't like I had to make myself do it.. I made up my mind yesterday that I had to get my heart and lungs healthy..

So  today I smoked 4 cigarettes better than the 7 or 8 I usually indulge in, tomorrow I will shoot for 2.. It being really cold at night  is a help..


Soul
I figured If I was going to get myself back into the habit of reading the Bible I had to start with the Gospels.. Love me some Jesus.. What I have a hard time motivating myself to read is the old testament.. He hath and he beget, so hard for me to power through.. That being said I decided to start with the New testament until I get in the habit of reading for at least 30 minutes a day.. By the time I get used to reading everyday I will be more likely to be able to keep it up and read the old testament.. I want to read the entire bible in at most 2 years..I am thinking about trying one of the plans they have for you to finish it in a year....well any hoo Today ...

I read  Matthew  chapters 3-9 I mainly was drawn to the sermon on the Mount..
                            4. Points that spoke to me personally, put into my own words..
1.  salt and light... I personally need to make this a huge part of my focus.. Be salt and light...
Let my light shine so that others can see it and give God glory for good works done by me through his grace and mercy..

2.Anger.. Forgiveness is essential in my walk with the Lord.. In that I must forgive others and that I must be held accountable, ask God and man for forgiveness for  my offences and transgressions..

3.The Lords Prayer.. I was relieved when I read,  and reread this..I was taught this growing up..but most important for me personally is the beginning of that part. 6:5-6  Please read it for yourself, this is what it means to me...Pray in private, secret,  to God who sees you in secret, do not pray for man to hear you...What you do in secret will be rewarded... its not the person you put on display that should be praying it is the closet you that ONLY God knows about (And by you I also mean ME..)

4. Do not be anxious...this is one of my favorite verses in the Bible..
Which of you by being anxious                    (also have seen it translated worry)
Can add a single hour to his span
of life
Matthew 6:27

NOW......PRAY!!
