So, this was week 1 of my 5 week challenge. Our class is not meeting, but I still tracked all my food and have been working out pretty much constantly. Except, I did miss two of my a.m. workouts, which made me pretty scared, but I did pray several times this week and just ask that God's will would be done in me this week. Well, it seems his will was even more gracious then my own. My hope was to lose a pound, the reality 3 more pounds gone! I could hardly believe it! My current weight is 179...that is just 4 pounds from my New years goal and 29 from the big picture grand total goal. With God's strength and disipline I really believe I will be down to a much healthier and happier weight of 150 on or maybe even a little before April 1, 2010. Wow, what a great, gracious and patient God!!!!
And can I just say it is stinking hard to lose weight at Christmas time. There are Christmas cookies all over at my mom's and my house. This week alone I made 2 cakes for two different Christmas parties. Temptation is EVERYWHERE. But truely I take no credit for being able to resist. God has clearly granted me will power. I give him all the glory and I just want to thank God for helping and guiding me in the steps to grant this desire in my heart. I so want to do all that I can to be healthier, and it's not just so I can look cute again. It is so much bigger then that. My hope in all this is that Alaina and Tia will see healthy habits in my life and they will adopt them as their own when they are older. The two things I want most for my girls Absolutely first is SALVATION and second a healthy way of life. Anyway, I am truly gratful and excited this evening 179...that is about what I weighted 6 years ago at David and my wedding! Wow!
Thank you Jesus!!!
