Ready for a Change

This has been a difficult week for me. I'm not sure why, but I have been so tired, all I've wanted to do is sleep. Of course, there is way too much to do so, I've just been dragging through all the chores and homework then literally falling into bed at night.
I think I'm not drinking enough water or getting enough exercise (the energizing kind). Actually, my treadmill has a layer of dust on it right now. So, after a week of the yukkies, I'm ready for a change.

First thing I plan to do is, starting right now, drink more water. You see, I'm a Pepsi addict and, if given the choice, I will choose Pepsi every time. I don't like diet drinks - with all the controversy over aspartame, I can't bring myself to drink anything with an artificial sweetner. Nope, it's real sugar for me!! Uh, I mean more water.

Next thing on the list is to take my vitamins everyday. I have a brand new bottle of multi-vitamins for women sitting in the cabinet. I think I've taken two since I bought them three months ago.

Then, I'm dusting off my treadmill. Even if I can only fit in twenty minutes or so, it's better than nothing. I'm on my feet all day, chasing the kiddoes, but it's not the same kind of exercise.

I'm not going to lie and say that I'm excited about this - but, I know it's necessary. I just don't like feeling like this. I have too much going on in my life to get bogged down.

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us that He came so that we might have and enjoy life, and to have it in abundance. I want that. I really want that for me. I want to set a good example for my son. I want to be able to set a good example for the kids in my daycare.
I just want to feel good.

Frank, Jacob and I are going to Charleston, SC next month for vacation and I'm looking forward to having lots of energy for that trip. I love Southern history and Charleston is full of it. I want to feel great so I don't miss any of it.

I'll post more on the Charleston trip later. Maybe by the time I get back I'll know how to post pictures on this blog. Anyone want to send me the "how-to's" for posting pictures?

Anyway, back to my changes - I was inspired by Kitty (kittyhox.blogspot.com) who has received Divine inspiration for an issue of her own. Kitty, you go girl!! I'm with you in prayer for the entire journey.
So, with God's help, I know I can have this victory.
Blessings!!

Uggh...thanks for the reminder that I need to start taking daily vitamins! I won't even tell you how long mine have been sitting in the cabinet (Okay...I'm lying - there in the trunk of my car right now! lol).

Have a blast in Charleston! I love that city!
