Last year, I made 11 fun resolutions and 11 serious resolutions for 2011.  By the end of the year, I had surprisingly completed 18 out of the 22.  And I was pretty proud of myself for that.

But there was one very important resolution on my list that didn’t get completed and that was to lose weight.  It’s the kind of resolution that everyone picks but when I picked last year, I was serious about it.  I want to get my health, eating, and especially weight into check.  Instead, I think that I gained weight.  Ugh!

So this year, instead of creating 12 or 24 resolutions, I created one.  

I want to be transformed by God: Spiritually, Physically, and Mentally.

I realized as I was processing through everything that I didn’t just need to lose weight but I needed to start letting God have control over my life and most importantly in the areas that I was not already giving him control.  I want Him to help me lose weight and to get my health in check.  And in all that I want to be spiritually and mentally transformed by Him as well.

So it is one goal with multiple parts but all with one central theme, God.

And the specific action items to start this off are:

• Spiritually: read my Bible regularly
• Physically: follow through with weight watchers and walk at least a mile 3 times a week.
• Mentally: go to counseling

They seem simple but I know that even just these three are going to be tough.  And these are not the end all, these are just the beginning.

I hope that all of you can help me keep accountable to this but more importantly encourage me and ask me how it’s going so I don’t forget how important this is to me.
