Using my knowledge to achieve my goal of dressing like a princess*Ü*

This is what I'm working for.  I want to be able to wear a cute dress like this and look pretty:)  I will be able to dress like a princess someday!

When I was a child my favorite primary song was I Am A Child of God.  A few years after I learned it, they changed the chorus.  The original chorus said, "teach me all that I must know to live with Him someday."  The line was changed to "teach me all that I must do to live with Him someday."  As a child it bugged me that they changed my favorite song, but now as an adult I understand.  Knowledge is important, but it does no good if you don't follow through and do what you know.  I know a lot about living and eating healthy, but I don't do a whole lot to do what I know.  I am determined to follow this motto:  Just do it!

I have built up some bad habits.  It is a daily battle to overcome my urge to eat what I shouldn't and to sit instead of exercise, but I am taking it a day at a time and determined that I will dress like a princess:)

Do things you have never before done!

This was on the mormon.org Facebook page and it inspired me:

    

To create change in our lives often requires we take an unfamiliar path, which is often uphill and          narrow. How do you to look to the Lord for hope and comfort during these times? 

"To reach a goal you have never before attained, you must do things you have never before done."—Elder Richard G. Scott

For me, losing weight and eating healthy is quite a challenge.  In order to reach my goals I am going to have to do things that I have never done- exercise daily, eat more fruits and veges and spend less time eating sugar/chocolate:)

Here's to do doing things I have never done and succeeding in my goals!

Here I go!

So this blog is going to be dedicated to all things exercise, food, and healthy living.  This is where I will write about my journey towards a happier, healthier me.

My goal is to lose weight and be able to fit into a princess costume for Halloween someday:).

Thus, I have named this blog "Code Word:  Princess".  Whenever I am tempted to eat something I shouldn't or give in to sitting on the couch instead of exercising, I say to myself "Princess" and it motivates me to make the right choice!

Wish me luck!  Here I go!
