Defining my day

So, I'm writing again.
I know, I know. You are probably saying. So you have "started over" how many times? Well thppppbbt! I'm doing it again! so HA!

I have been watching Chris Powll's "Extreme Makeover: Weighloss Edition" on Hulu for a couple of weeks now. Everytime I watch it, while i'm eating, of course. And get inspired to start doing something the next morning. Then the morning (or afternoon) comes and I hit the snooze button over and over again, and basically waste my day.

However, this week he said something that goes along with something he said about "excuses" last week.... (looking for the quote....) ok, can't find it now, but it was something like "Until you run out of excuses nothing in your life will change."  But this week on Krista's episode, Chris said something that has managed to stick with me, stil this morning.

"It all comes down to when that alarm goes off in the morning. What you do in that moment starts to define who you are."

In other words, I am where I am and who I am in life right now because I have chosen not to do anything about it. Harsh. but true.

So how do I define my day and thus my life?

Get out of bed. and that means today, not going to be because I have to reset my body from the lazy schedule its kept.

Eat Breakfast. Which I am doing now.

Get me and God patched up. Which means to do my devotion in just a sec. I am btw, starting over again on reading and study Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul. by John & Stasi Eldridge .

Go work out! As soon as my devotion is done, I'm going outside. I've never been able to run at least not very far. but I'm starting again. Right now my goal is to be able to run one length of my block within a week. I can do this. I just have to actually DO it. in the morning and at night. Do it!

Write. While you may think that means blog. it really just means write. Blogging is included, but if I want to be a successfully paid writer, I need to actually produce things worth being paid for, So I will write.



So I start again today to redifine the life I've let wither. and I'll let you know how I do as well.
