Birthday Goal-No Sugar

Anyone who knows me, knows I love to set goals. New Years is more like Christmas to me deciding what I want to accomplish for the year. I have even celebrated Lent, just to have a goal to reach.

Goals are just a way of helping yourself reach for higher ground. Our Father in Heaven has created us to be our best, to improve and if we don't push ourselves he just may have something happen to us to make us stretch to higher ground. Either way he knows we can be better than what we at times limit ourselves to being. I for one feel good when I accomplish, yes I have set backs but as long as I am going the right direction eventually I get there...most of the time.

My Birthday is 6-weeks away....so for a birthday gift to myself I choose to go without sugar until my birthday!

How?

WRITE IT DOWN- well I just did
SET A TIME FRAME- 6 weeks
COMMIT TO SOMEONE- I committed to my family and everyone I knew and told them I was going to do this.
MAKE IT HARD TO BREAK- I told my mom if I did eat it before my birthday I would give her 100.00. So now I can't break it- I don't want to pay anyone.

So, here we go. Today is day 1!

Here is to a better me on May 19th! To celebrate Im going on a girls trip to SLC, UT.
