DAY 11: Three Ways To Stay FocusedOn Your Daily Goals

I stepped on the scale today and it said 209.7. I stepped off and then stepped on again. I got back in bed, slightly agitated by what the scale revealed this morning. Certainly not what I was expecting. Before I let loose on all the ways I’ve messed up, I quickly said to myself, “no judgment”. Again in my heart, “no judgment”. I lay there for a moment and thought about my week., my plans, my goals. To my surprise, I was looking at this weigh all wrong! Last Friday, January 4, I weighed 212.7. The next day which was Saturday, January 5,  I weighed in at 209.7. I hadn’t had a stall. I actually lost three pounds. In my head, I was thinking well I lost three pounds on Saturday so I would weigh in today at 206.7. No, no, no! I just lost the weight at the top of the week! So today, I’m celebrating. Yes, celebrating a three-pound weight loss. 

It’s so easy for our thoughts to derail us, isn’t it? I asked myself a question today. How can I stay focused on my daily goals? Well today, I’m sharing three ways to do just that. Stick to the plan, prepare smaller meals, and move a little more. These may seem radically simple but they’re getting me massive success, and teaching me how to develop consistency (which I’m finding out is an underlying problem for me in many areas of my life) in the little things.

Luke 16:10 says whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. To be faithful is to acknowledge that we are stewards. Each day we’re given 24 hours. How will we use it? Time is precious. I can spend that time developing habits to get me closer to my weight loss goal or developing habits that keep me from reaching my weight loss goal. The choice is ours to make.
