Catching Up and Confessing

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13

Catching Up
I am sorry that I haven't blogged in a while. I have no excuse except that I just have not taken the time to do it. I have been quite busy and have neglected what I declared I would not do when I started this journey and that is time for myself. Since my last weigh-in, it seems everything under the sun has come across the road I am on and I have detoured from my destination. I feel like I have dropped into a large sink hole and can't get out!!! That brings me to the second part of this blog----confessing!!!

Confessing
I have not been as diligent as I should have been in the past few weeks. I have let the overwhelming temptations take control me. You know the occasional Snicker bar or the piece of cake and ice cream at a party or the fried foods when going out to celebrate an important occasion. I am sure you may also know how it is to let the cares and chores of this life keep you from the exercise you know you need everyday. You see I am human and while I have lost 60 pounds on what seems to have been an easy road to health believe me it has not been easy. I weighed in today and gained FOUR pounds. I did not cry or give up but am determined to carry on, crawl out of this sink hole and lose those four pounds plus several more before the next weigh in!!!!!!!

We all have these times. After sixty pounds and being able to get in new clothes or clothes I haven't been able to wear, hearing all the praises my supporters, the aches and pains of carrying around all that excess weight are gone and I feel great; the mind (an evil thing at times) seems to settle back and suggest things as "Take a few weeks and relax. Don't be so diligent. Enjoy the weight lose. You deserve to eat what you want for a while!" Well all of this is bull!!!! If you let your guard down, as I have, that weight will creep right back on your thighs, and middle and wherever else it looks the worse!!!

I feel like I need to apologize to Gloria, my wonderful trainer at Body Dimensions and Lorin my expert chef at Living Lean Meals for failing them and all their hard work. I feel like I have let them down!!!!

Enough Whining and Confessing!!!!!!!
I am going to pick myself up and brush myself off and get right back on this road to a healthier life!!! This sink hole that I ran into on my journey is not going to take up any more of my time and energies!!!

If you would like to comment or have any questions please email me at healthierfaith@bellsouth.net. Thanks for coming along on my journey to a healthier life. I will try really hard to avoid those detours and sink holes in the future!!!!
