Ok...Really?!?!? Here I am getting ready to have another birthday. I'm still fat. I'm not where I need to be spiritually. So...what do I do??? Give up??? Or move forward??? I choose to move forward. I just want to be consistent. My life is not a race. Goals for the next month...Stay on WW plan. Run at least 3 days a week. Start a weight training program. Read my Bible at least 5 days a week. Also get my lab work and schedule my physical.

Off and Running

So, I'm off and this week will be running. My goal is to get to 150 pounds by the SIC Half Marathon. It's not gonna be easy but it's possible. Yep, I gained so much over Christmas that I have 36 pounds to get to that goal. Yep!!! 36 pounds...Can do!!! Will do. I'm getting everything ready for the fitness group to start. Feb. 7th is the day. So this week I will be going to the gym each morning for cardio and mid week running. I will also be doing week 1 of Ripped in 30. That will be my strength training. I'm so happy that Brandi is back at the gym and meeting me at 5am. I makes it so much better to have a workout partner. I also love that I am actually chosing to train for SOMETHING this year. I worked out a lot last year but I lacked a specific goal.

Jim is joining WW with me!!! I'm hoping he will get really excited about it so it will just make things that much easier for me.

Strink Jewelia--In more ways that one.

New Day!!!

Today was a new day! REstarted Weight Watchers. Going to go back to meetings and give it a new shot. I know it's another restart but hey...have you ever seen a baby get up and walk on the first try? No but they keep trying until they are able to run. So, it's full force ahead. I know that this plan works I just have to stick with it. Now I need to start moving this body again. It may be one reason that I have not been feeling well. It's a crazy cycle...don't move and then can't move because it hurt too bad. Saturday is the day to start moving again. Early bedtime tonight and then make it through Friday.

I'm not strong enough but I don't have to be because Christ lives in me!!!

Adventure of the Day?

None!!! Home sick. I hate feeling like crap. I guess I just need to push trough it. :(

So...in my daily Bible reading something very interesting came up.

Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things. 1 Timothy 4:8

Today I will reflect on this. What really needs to shrink?

Is it my body...yes
Is it my sense of self-importance...YES
Is it my sinful nature...YES

So, shrinking Jewelia should be about more than just the physical aspects of my life. Yes, I need to exercise and eat right but if I focus on godliness then those fruits of the spirit will grow in me. They will push out all the other "Jewelia" and grow me into a "Little Christ"

LOVE GOD!
LOVE OTHERS!

In the Beginning...

Well...2 years ago at this time I weighted 236 pounds.  I have lost as much as 67 pounds.  I'm at about 55 right now.  Something has kept me from losing.  I think it's my fear of success.  I know it sounds stupid when I actually say it but it's real.  Why should I not feel successful at this point?  Losing 55 pounds is amazing.  So, I want 106 but that is not going to make me a different person.  I am still the same Child of God I was before at 236 pounds.  It is just about taking care of my body.  The body god gave me.  130 pounds would not make me a better person.  It isn't going to change who I am.  It will change the way I look but not who I truly am. 

So...I'm steeling from the "Biggest Loser" NO MORE EXCUSES!!!

Just get it done and move on.

Love my body for the wonderful creation it is.

That's that...
