Day 1- To Begin.

Well I worked on trying to achieve some of my goals.
First off got up and took my daughter to school.  I came home and did my devotions.  I then called the Lawrence Co. Circuit Court to see if the fee had been waived where I filed my appearance and answer for the dissolution of my marriage, it was.  God is Great!. I then became scatter brained throughout the whole rest of the morning.  I took pictures for my before on the weight loss journey.  I also took a couple up close pictures of my face as I work on trying to clear my face up some from acne and age spots.  I also took a picture of my hair so I can see how long it has gotten later on.  Once I got these done I then decided I was going to start working on a sewing project and I did I got the pieces cut out I started to sew it and then my moms machine started to act up on me so after breaking one needle and the fabric getting caught a few times I decided to move onto something different.  I put a honey, cinnamon and nutmeg mask on my face.  After that I used a baking soda and water paste on my face.  I had planned on using coconut oil after but I can't find my coconut oil so now I am using some old night cream to keep moisture in over night.  After that I applied to about 20 different jobs.  I then went to get my daughter from school and came home and filled out some questionnaires a few places had sent me. We also put ornaments on the tree today.

May God Bless You,

Day 0- Goal Making and Lil about Me

Today is day 0.  
Tomorrow I start Day 1 of my journey. 
Will I be successful or will I fail? Stayed tuned to find out.

This journey is me discovering who I am and what my passions are.  As you can tell by the page name.  I plan on teaching myself how to sew and also how to be a little more fit.  Right now I am around 190 lbs.  I have a basic knowledge of sewing.  I have inherited my one of my aunt's old sewing machines, Husqvarna Designer I.  I am use to sewing on a Singer Simple machine so this is a major step up from that. I took time today and wrote out my goals for the next 6 months and the next year.  

My Goals:
by July 1, 2017

  • Lose 30 lbs
  • Get a Job
  • Complete all my sewing projects I currently have cut out.
  • Drink 80 oz. of water each weekday
  • Walk a minimum of 5000 steps Sat-Sun and 15000 Mon-Fri
by Dec 1, 2017
  • Lose 60 lbs
  • Save $1000 ($20 a week)
  • Read through the whole Bible
  • Discover my mission work
  • Add Yoga into my weekly/ daily routine.
Some of these goals are very basic goals I know and others are a little more difficult.  I  am trying to stay motivated and I plan on becoming more accountable via my friends and this blog.  

May God Bless You,

Marcey
