HEALTHY HABITS FOR NOVEMBER: Drink more water/get more sleep/get more exercise/limit sugar
WORD FOR 2021: Steadfast
Some may wonder how I did with October's goals. I used to be very accountable, adding "DONE" or "NOT DONE" to each item on the list. Now Blogger has made that more difficult; I can still do it, but it takes time, so I tend to not add this notation.
I can say I accomplished most of October's goals, or that I accomplished something on each goal. I'm still not up to memorizing 4 Bible verses or passages per month. In October I accomplished 2 passages. We have a memory passage for church and one for the women's Bible study I attend monthly, but I also have a list of my own that I'm working through.
And I'm still not up to speed on my homemaking zones of the week. I'm hoping that once we are staying at our camp less (it's not really suitable for winter visits yet), I will have more time at home. We will see!
Whoa, that's quite a list for November, but the one that really caught my eye was the "continue a 40 day sugar fast"...with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the way I'd say that would be most challenging of all! Although I am not a big sugar eater myself, but when the holidays roll around it is difficult to pass up on the "goodies". I hope you are able to reach your goal, and I will be praying for you in all areas, not just that one. I am glad you are still enjoying going to your camp and that you will be spending some special times there this month with family and/or friends. I know you will miss it when it is closed for winter, but you will have plenty else to keep you occupied. I still dream of having such a place as that, and who knows, maybe someday we will, but meanwhile I vicariously enjoy your place when you share your times there. Praying also for your hubby and your church as you make decisions for your future. May God truly direct your path and light the way. I know this has been a concern for a long time, but don't you love it when He brings a good plan together? Have a blessed and wonderful week. I always enjoy visiting here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment, Pam! We finished the sugar fast on Tuesday ... well, my hubby did. I continued it through Wednesday. Then of course I overdid the sweets on Thanksgiving Day, sampling many of the desserts.
DeleteWe did stay at the camp Thanksgiving night; it was a relatively mild evening. But there's a winter weather advisory in place from Friday into Saturday, so this was probably our last time staying there for this year. We hope to go over later today and do some more cleaning and storing of seasonal items. It's a little hard to think of leaving there for the winter.
