Food, Exercise and Sleep

I'm looking back over my previous blog. The Lord was very specific about the following things:

Morning Walk
More Fiber
More Water
No Sugar
Less Calories
More Sleep
Get Strong
Daily Salad
Half Dinner

If I had to categorize them, it might look like this:

Morning Walk (exercise)
More Fiber (food)
More Water (food)
No Sugar (food)
Less Calories (food)
More Sleep (sleep)
Get Strong (exercise)
Daily Salad (food)
Half Dinner (food)

That is very interesting. Food, exercise and sleep for good health. Thank you Lord for being the Author of life, everything we've found as humans just reinforces the truth that You've established

My friend Christi, encouraged me to focus on the areas where I need to be more consistently obeying what the Lord has told me to do. I will be overcoming (and losing weight!) when I'm obeying.

Which areas do I need to surrender more?

Morning Walk (exercise)-yes, I recently recommitted to a daily walk, either treadmill or outside
More Fiber (food)-I'm getting plenty of fiber from my cereal and other foods, I can really SEE it now that I'm using MyFitnessPal
More Water (food)-I only seem to have trouble with this when my normal routine is disturbed *
No Sugar (food)-the only thing that really needs work here is our family dessert nights *
Less Calories (food)-tracking on MyFitnessPal is really helping me see, so I'm in process with this and don't see it as needing action
More Sleep (sleep)-*
Get Strong (exercise)-I can see how I can fit in strength exercise MWF, so this is in process
Daily Salad (food)-this gets done if my routine isn't disturbed, could take a salad on Wed shopping nights *
Half Dinner (food)-well. *

This is a good way to evaluate where I'm really at, I can put the principles into three different categories:

WHAT'S GOING WELL (+):
So here's my focus for Cycle One:
Here's what I feel really good at:
morning walk
more fiber
less calories
get strong

NEED A LITTLE TWEAKING (/):These areas need tweaking:
no sugar-I need to find a solution to the family dessert nights
more water-how can I make sure to get my water when we're out and about?

NEED IMPROVEMENT (-):
These areas need attention:
sleep
half dinner
