Well, I have decided to change my lifestyle. I am trying to lose weight with Weight Watchers again and be more committed to getting exercise. Between WW and watching Biggest Loser and am encouraged. I lost almost 5 pounds my first week which is great and so far this week (I weigh in on Tuesdays) I am doing really well at sticking with my points. Now I want you to know I can say all this not to brag but to of course give credit where credit is due and that is totally with GOD! This time when I started my new journey I emailed several friends and asked for not only their prayers but accountability. I had a friend say to me the other day..."is that a real pop?" To which I answered "diet caffeine free". I have had others email me and ask me how my week with food is going etc. It is so refreshing to have friends who are asking me and keeping me in line. But this is also only week 2 and everyone including me is still praying. God is currently delivering me from the desire to want to eat sweets all the time. I just have to remember that I have to do my part for Him to keep me where I am. I have to pray and I have to keep praying. Isn't it amazing that all the parts of our lives that we fall short (yes sin) can be fixed by doing what we are created to do? All we have to do is worship Him-pray, be in the word and share it. We do we have to resist it so much? Why do we feel that while we are resisting it that we are winning some sort of a struggle, that we are in control when we are so far from it? Then when we really are where God wants us in that struggle it is so clear we were so far from control. It's so clear yet so muddled.
Anyway, today I went for a 2 mile walk/jog. I went on Tuesday with Haven. I told her and Aspen I was going and she wanted to go with me. It was fine but I told her I was taking my ipod. She said "oh that's fine". Then she proceeded to want to talk. Of course I had to do my mom duty and talk when I had enough air and listen the whole time. Side note-that is one of the hard thing about having 4 girls...they want to talk all the time, I know I have to give them my attention and listen but goodness gracious it gets taxing! Anyway, today I went alone as Haven was at cross country. I listened to my music (and had my arms waving in the air in praise at times) and ran much more then I would have without the music. I try and run down the hills and walk up them but I pushed myself up a little bit of a couple hills because I was deep in music and thought. I have decided I like to jog even if I am slow and have to walk in between. Once again, God has made something good for me...ALL about HIM! Imagine that, if I just take care of this temple he has given me...it will all be good!
Well, I have rambled long enough and it is bed time for my dreary eyes and my aching legs.
