First day summary

Well, today was the first day of my new challenge and I must be honest it was not the best. I know better but we had a family breakfast that was high carb and there was a lot of talk that made me very anxious, so I had too many carbs at bf and then again mid afternoon. Eating too much carbs makes me really moody and not feeling my best...I hate that! I did practice my prayer and drink my water and take supplements - I guess 1/2 of my challenges. I did not overdrink, just 1 beer, and I managed to get in about 20 minutes of exercise - but food wise I ate too much and am uncomfortaby full - really need to make sure this does not happen again, I know that I am not my best when I feel overfull - I take it out on others. Calling it a night with some hot tea and will try again tomorrow.

Day 1: Releasing my Strongholds

Today is officially day 1 of my journey. I am excited, nervous, scared and ready. Excited because I know following my 30 days of discipline routine will reveal and result in so many good things for my life. Nervous because I have attempted this before (however never with so much determiniation) that I don't want to fail. Scared because again I don't want to fail and if I do then something is wrong with me and I am not the person I thought I was. But the truth is, I am not going to fail because I am placing this in my God's hands and asking him to help me fight against these strongholds and to follow my 30 days of discipline. I am ready because my life needs this month of focus and discipline. I can see so many good things in my future that I know if I let go and release the negative energy and addiction that keeps me from being my personal best that some reall cool stuff could happen.

So today I begin, God I place this in your hands, I trust you to guide me on a daily basis to follow my days of discipline to ultimatly be a better person for you. Please help me fight against the devil as he tries to tempt me and persuade me not to follow your plan. I trust you, love you, beleive in you, and want to follow your word for me. Thank you for all you have given me. Amen.
