One of the Weight Watchers Ambassadors that I follow: Beautifully Broken Journey likes to choose a word to focus on for the year. I have another friend that does the same, so I thought I would do it as well. My word this year is......
STRONGER
Physically
Now that I am at a weight that I'm comfortable with, I want to work on getting stronger. I signed up for a half marathon. I feel like mentally I am there, I just need to work on the physical part. I don't want to look super muscular. My focus will be on toning and defining. I need to strengthen my legs to train for the half marathon. Also, the hard part of weight loss is maintenance. It was take will-power and strength to keep it off.
Spiritually
This year my focus is to be strong in the Lord. I want to spend more time in the Word, prayer, and daily reflection. I'm hoping I can do more of that when I go on my runs. It is a time for me to get away from distractions and spend time with God. United Methodist Women have a reading list and a goal of reading 5 books in a year. I did it two years ago, and I slacked off this past year. It is time to get back on track.
Mentally & Emotionally
This summer, I plan to take another online grad class for education. It isn't towards a masters degree, but I do enjoy studying and sharpening my brain.
From my experience through Dressember, I also plan to research and study more about human trafficking and fair labor across the globe.
I want to work on perspective thinking this year, too. When in a negative situation, I look at some positives - not let one or two bad things ruin my whole day. When I am negatively impacted by another person, I want to look through their eyes and see why they said/behaved the way they did.
I know some of these are lofty, and I may not be able to reach each one of these goals, but I hope by December 31st, 2018. I can say I'm a little
STRONGER!
