Yesterday I was talking to someone about how it’s taking me
so long to lose weight and I am putting a lot of effort into it…
They said want to lose 20 lbs in 20 days, and honestly I
thought “no”. Sure I would LOVE to lose
20 lbs in 20 days but I’d like to keep it off!!
And I know that radical weight loss usually does not stay off.
I want to lose weight NEVER to find it again.
Eat 3 chicken breasts (1 each meal) and a cup of veggies at
each meal. That’s it.
Yeah, I’d eat my arm off by day 5 if I followed that. No one
wants that, I’d be so crabby.
The truth is that it took me time to become a circle, so it
will take time to deflate this beach ball (LOL). I actually like hard work… it reminds me that
Excellence is honoring to God and a reflection of His character. It reminds me that things worth having are worth
effort. There is something that I love
about accomplishment and consistency. It’s
honoring and inspiring to myself. I see results in one thing in my life and I
invest and work hard in other areas and I see results. Sometimes it’s SOOOOO hard, and I remember
not to depend on my own strength, but to focus on Him, and what He can do in
and through me. I remember that He
equips me when I can’t seem to find the gifts, knowledge, or strength.
So I will learn to plan, track, and make better choices.
Small changes that will make a big difference, and learn to love things that I
hate (like the annoying Zumba instructor last night!!) or at least find things
that I actually like.
It’s all a journey. A journey of hard work and hope. A journey of mountain tops and valleys. A journey that brings me closer to who God
created me to be.
Eph 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s
masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good
things he planned for us long ago.
