So sorry my blogs have been so few and far between. I didn't want to blog because after my recent confictions I still didn't bother to change anything. Last Monday I decided not to go off on some big rant on here. Rather I tried really hard this last week to make the changes that I know work for me. First I started to do a 2-3 mile walking video every morning! You heard me right the last 6 days, (I haven't done one yet today, but believe me I will be doing one when I am done here.) I decided I was not to the point that I wanted to screw up my sleeping in with the girl so, they have been having morning movie time while Mommy works out. It seemed to work for all of us. The next thing I changed was I started to write everything I eat down again. I use the live it tracker provided in my First Place for Health books. They work good for me and give me such clear guideline. So, I have been eatting breakfast and then following the plan for the rest of the day. Lastly, at night after the girls are asleep I have been doing the slim in 6 videos, and yes I started back at the begininng, and yes my legs have been killing me all week, but I did them! So, where have these efforts put me??? Well, I will be honest I weighed myself last Monday so that I could see just how far I had let myself go. The number on the scale was ...207! I was moritified In about 9 weeks I had gained back 9 lbs. You can see how strong my motivation was. But Thank you, thank you, thank you Jesus first for the motivation and second for the strength to get back on track. Today on the scale I was back at 198! And I am going to stay focused now for a while. I have big hopes for myself this next year and I can't accomplish those things if I don't have the discipline to take care of my body. So, I am trying. Lord willing I will stay on task for a little while. In September I will be getting back into one of my old First Place leaders classes. I need her accountability and encouragement. My goals all still stand. I could be down to 180 by September 1st (I kind of doubt it, but we will see.) None the less I am working torward a better, stronger, HEALTHIER Amber. I know I will reach my goals some day, but today I am just glad that God has allowed me to get refocused and see some much needed results.
Thank you so much Jesus. Don't give up on me. I know I loss my way and loss sight of you, but I want to be the woman God created me to be. I know with you strength and power I can get there. Please help my life display the truths I know. Thank you for being so good to me. In you name, AMEN!
