We started the gym again last week. Although we only went twice. We’ll continue it this week and so on. Our membership ends in a couple months and it won’t be renewed due to financial issues. I’ll be sorry to see it go. I want to get back into it. I noticed the second day, I had the biggest silliest grins while walking on the treadmill and listening to my ipod. That was the highlight of my day. Part of me is bothered by that because I don’t like that I spend the rest of the day in a tight-jawed half-frown; stressed out and unhappy.

Here’s the link to the old post with the ’sexy’ collarbones.

And here’s the newest pic from a few days ago. POOF! All gone…buried.

I just noticed that the old collarbone post seems to also be taken at my lowest successful weight loss.

If you add me on facebook please let me know who you are so I can put you in the ‘good’ friends list.

We’re moving. Now’s the time to use the gym membership. By the time we move, it’ll be expiring soon after. I like having something to do every day in preparation for the move.

I have not gotten back to it. I won’t consider it been gotten back to until I have gone 3 days. I plan to at least update once a week. Usually Sunday.

(She couldn’t have said it any better. The words are as if they came out of my own mouth. But of course they are not, I don’t think I could’ve said it so well. Thanks for a wonderful read and reminder.)

I am a bible-believing Christian. God’s word gives me peace, joy, fulfillment, and everything I need to live.

However, if I had been living in obedience to God’s word, I wouldn’t be in the shape (which is round) I’m in now.  Gluttony is a sin, and although He has forgiven me of that sin, and Jesus paid the price for my sin on the cross, I still have the effects of that sin -all this fat hangin’ off my bones that I have to deal with.

So now, I need to live in obedience and eat only what my body needs to live. He will provide-I need not fear that He won’t. I read somewhere that sometimes people overeat because they are afraid of when they might be able to eat next, or they’re afraid of where their next meal is going to come from.  No fear-He will provide. (I may have to cook it though! I’m NOT a good cook.)

One thing I have noticed is, when I am craving sugar or something my body doesn’t need or shouldn’t have (not just weight loss, but food sensitivities that make me feel sick in different ways), I am, more and more, turning to the Lord, asking Him to take away that craving or that urge to eat when I shouldn’t. He has been doing it too. So, therefore, a little hunger, or craving, is serving to draw me closer to Him. This is a good thing.  It’s like a little reminder to pray.

When I was at work last week, I heard Him say to me, “God’s bod”.  I know, from the scriptures, that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I know He wants me to do this His way, not the worlds’ way. In other words-no diet. Just eating HEALTHY, and following His plan. (i.e. no gluttony!) and turning to Him when the cravings strike.

OK I’m ready now. Let’s spin this around.

Thank you for all of your support and comments. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and successful 2010.

This weeks’ gain= +3.6 lbs

A couple more weeks before I get back to this. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and has a blessed new year.

Joshua was a shepherd in the play at church

Joey (FINALLY!) got his favorite movie for Christmas!

One of the Christmas presents I got was a fridge.

This weeks’ gain loss= -.4 lbs

I’m so used to writing ‘gain’ that I automatically started to. It’s good to see a little loss, but it really doesn’t mean anything right now.

Have a Merry Christmas!
