Day 1 - Shaped by Faith

I don't know if you are like me but sometimes it takes me the longest time to actually put into action something that I want to do but I don't want to do at the same time. I think about it, mull it over and say, "that would be good for me" but that is as far as it goes. Months can go by with the idea that I will do that tomorrow and tomorrow comes and still no action taken. Well, I have been playing with the idea of exercising for awhile now. Maybe I should say years but let's not go there today. I have been more serious in my thinking lately since I have lost a few pounds and want to be more active. Fear of failing once again and not knowing what activity to do have crippled me so far but today an email changed that thought into action. In my inbox was a 28 day program on getting active not only physically but spiritually. The concept of wholeness was the point of the article. I checked it out and I think I can do it. Tiny steps make for big changes down the road. Maybe you will join me but even if you don't I must be willing to take this journey alone. The program is based on the book, Shaped by Faith by Theresa L. Rowe. I am moving ahead one step at a time, even if it is tiny baby steps. Every journey starts with a first step and this is mine. So here I go......

I'm right where you are Teri!
I am in the process of loosing weight, and have begun to exercise. It is amazing how the body responds to moving it just a little. And, it feels good to be doing something positive, to be doing something!!! There are enough things we have no control of, but taking good care of ourselves is something we can actively do. Good for you!!!!! :)
