Preparation

Preparing for marriage involves much discipline. Things that I never used to worry about are suddenly top priority. Take exercise, for instance. Now I'm not a particularly unfit individual, but neither would you catch me winning a marathon anytime soon. It's not that I don't believed in the importance of staying in shape, but I always find it so difficult to make the time to actually exercise. Now, though, I am realizing how extremely important it is going to be for me to discipline myself in this manner. How can I give birth to many children, should God choose to so bless us, if I'm not healthy? Another area closely linked to exercise is diet. Mark has informed me that eating candy bars for lunch is not a good thing. Oh. And ice cream? No, it should not be used to replace dinner. Of course I don't eat junk food all of the time, but I am now going to be much more conscientious of what enters my mouth! Since Sunday, I've been doing quite well. I've exercised, eaten fruit and salads, taken my vitamins and eliminated most sugar intake. I hope I can stay diligent with this in the future :)
