January

So I just read my last post...I'm pretty sure I"ve gained 20lbs since that post and I absolutely haven't dieted or exercised. I started and stopped Yoga and didn't even make it to the gym (except the one time I went in to cancel my membership).

Since it's January and time for resolutions I'm going to resolve to stop dieting this year. I'm going to start logging my food on MyFitnessPal again and I'm going to walk - probably. 

At church we are doing a 28 day fast which is perfect. It's not too long or too short. It starts today and goes until the end of January. I'm fasting from pop and from games on my phone. I've deleted all the time waster games. Even the fun ones and the one where I've been stuck on the same level since Saturday and I really wanted to beat it. Deleted from my phone. That way I can't "forget" that I'm not supposed to play them. 

So my goal is each time I would pick up my phone to play a random time wasting game I'm going to do something else instead. Like go for a walk. Talk to my kids. Write a blog post. Write something else. Read. Pray. Interact with the world. Meditate. Pretty much anything else. My only other rule is that I shouldn't just use that time to Facebook or Pinterest instead. Because that would defeat the point. 

We shall see how well I do. I did have flavored coffee today...which still isn't pop. But it was delicious.
