Balance...thats the goal

Yesterday I said I would blog more on balance... it is always a hard skill to master! I own personal struggle with balance is between food fitness and fun, like I blogged yesterday. Well I have been on one extreme of obsessing WAY too much about what I would eating then I decided that I needed to not allow food to become such a focus! After all I feel if you are thinking more about something than about God then its too much! I seem to go in extremes right before I do find some balance.... for example I went to dinner with my Sisters and Mom lastnight for GIRLS NIGHT!!! It was a BLAST! But I ate so much I felt sick! So there you have it I went the other way.... Here is what I do after over indulging...

1. Dont feel guilty!
2. Exercise alittle longer the next day
3. Eat a good healthy next meal to get you back on track
4. DONT OBSESS over it or allow it to derail you!

With that said. How do we find balance and know that we are taking care of our bodies? We do need to be concious of what we eat and I believe we need to be physically and mentally fit. God calls us to take care of our temple (which is our body) I believe we can achieve this with out loosing out on Faith and Fun!

1. Fix your eyes on the Lord first
2. Set a goal of how God wants you to care for your body
3. Accountability... no matter what way you struggle. Eat too much, too little, exercise too much, too little.
4. Allow nothing to come between you and your relationship with the Lord

Lastly I have to tell you... schedule FUN!!!! Seriously it will destress you and help you stay balanced!
