My first week of healthier living

I started my week asking God to give me the strength to change my life style.
I am pretty impressed with my first week. I managed to keep my calories to 1200 a day all week, sometimes less then that but that is not good.
I thought keeping calories that low would be a challenge but it was not at all. I believe it was with God's help. In fact I realized most days I struggle to come close. I learned that I simply eat the wrong things. We have been eating unhealthy simply because unhealthy eating is cheaper. God has provided that need as well at least for the next year. I am always amazed at how he provides things above all we can ask or think just like he promises. This family can now eat healthy which will help me take off the pounds. I still have a long way to go with adjusting my life style.
I exercised three times last week and would like to exercise every day
I gotta drink water lots of water. I drink on average of three to four glasses of fluid a day. I would like to increase that a lot but drinking water is the hardest thing for me to do. It is a lot harder then changing my eating habits.
Exercising won't be hard it is a matter of doing it. I need fix my weight set. We bought one over a year ago and lost the screws to it while moving:-( I love strength training!! Twenty pounds by summer is still my goal and to live a healthier life style. I can't wait to get my garden up and going. I am so ready for spring.
There are so many unknowns about our life right now. Joe and I are constantly talking about the next step. We have one more year till he graduates. However, all of our conversations come back to the fact we are blessed beyond comprehension. No matter, how hard life gets we are blessed. I have a fantastic husband and wonderful children.
