The Abundant Life

Well, here it is. I've finally started a blog! Let me tell you why. I've talked about my weight issues many times before and I've even tried to take those steps on my own before.. but never seen much success. My BIL started a blog and now I'm taking a page from his book. Not only will it give me feedback and a fresh perspective on why I do things the way I do, but also maybe some accountability. Or rather, some hope and maintaining motivation. I do have motivation, but it 'waxes and wanes' with the moon! I'm hoping this will help me keep that motivation; be a place where I can keep those weight loss journals that they tell you to! (the infamous 'they'!)

So why 'the abundant life'? Let me tell you why. I think that word is extremely powerful. It can be a good thing, and a bad thing. Right now I think abundant may be a negative adjective for me, in describing many aspects of my life. The weight, the amount of food I consume, the overall volume of STUFF in my life from activities to responsibilities. Don't get me wrong, there are some positive aspects to my life in abundance too, like children, but unfortunately, the negative is overwhelming the positive. It's my hope that through my ramblings and weavings I may come to a more positive abundance and eliminate some of the negative abundance. If that makes any sense... I don't know...
