So my mother is a preacher and i have been in church all my life. I truly love church and always go whenever I get the chance. I started my weightloss journey because my blood pressure was getting high and i just didnt want to be diagnosed with high blood pressure.
I work 2 jobs everyday and don't really have that much time because i don't get off work until 8 most nights. Now the only days I get off early are mondays, tuesdays and fridays. So, i take those opportunities to take classes at the gym because its something that ive fallen in love with! I love zumba, kickboxing, and body pump and they keep me motivated. So far ive lost over 30 pounds and love how I feel.
My mom talked to me the other night and she told me that I was putting the gym before God because i miss biblestudy class each tuesday night and I miss a service we had last week. I had every intention of making the service on time but my ride was super late picking me up from the gym!
Now I don't think I am putting the gym before God because i still have a great relationship with Him. I still go to church each sunday and i attend services during the week when im not working. It really hurt my feelings when she accused me of not putting God first. I just think I need this time now to get healthy because i don't want to have to take pills everyday. Now i can't even enjoy the gym fully because i know how my mom feels about it and I can't enjoy biblestudy because i miss being at the gym. I just don't know what to do. Any ideas?!?!?!?!?!
