"P" physical

Again, to recap the general concept of this blog "SPF 36" is to determine 36 things or goals that can help a person improve their life Spiritually Physically and Financially.  Spiritual always being first, then everything after will fall in line.  Each month in 2012 I want to identify one of the SPF, and today is the first physical, I am identifying these in no particular order within each category.

The first "S" was to open your Bible every day, getting into the word daily is so very important.  The "P" for physical can mean diet, workout, or mental I guess.  I don't know what is more important diet or workout, consistency with both I think is brutally important, and since these are in no real order, we'll start with a healthy diet.  I may have mentioned this in an earlier blog but we'll call the first idea that "food should be for fuel, not fun".  So many times we tie food into our emotions, we eat when we are happy, we eat when we are depressed, etc.  So, I think if we can get to the point where we are really concerned with properly fueling our bodies with foods that we need to help us throughout the day with our daily lives and our workouts we would be so much better off.  Then eventually we will stop craving the fattening foods that slow us down and crave foods that will help us operate better.

Prayer for today is for our country and the pending elections since the whole process is underway to pick a Republican candidate to run against President Obama.  I hope that we can elect leaders that have their priorities straight and can lead our country in a good direction.
