Last week turned out to be full of lots of twists and turns with job stuff and a few family things. I did my best with what was available to me to eat healthy and not be a total lazy bum. I worked out with Amy on Tuesday night at her apartment's gym and it was awesome (felt it for a few days after.) There's a lot going on right now that's making it a little hard to keep up with things but I'm determined to work out AT LEAST once a week and to AT LEAST keep my portions under control no matter what I'm eating! I figure if I have to start some where effort is a good place to start, even if it is the minimum. Of course this is all with the goal of moving it up to 5 times a week and getting healthier options as far as eating. Walked tonight for my workout and felt much better after.
Still trying to figure out the video thing. It's been a little bit of a pain so for now I'll just be typing. So moving on with it here are my thoughts for tonight...
I'm really excited (as I've said quite a few times) about moving on to a healthier lifestyle. I believe its the desire of God that we live in health instead of always being in need of healing, though He DOES heal - not disputing that so please no angry comments! :) I've felt for a long time that my weight has literally been holding me back from EVERYthing. In relationships, in work, in creativity, in giving of myself to others and mostly in my service to my Savior! My heart's desire is to preach and to eventually start a conference where young women can find hope in Him (that's another blog, lol). Seriously though, I can't be in church, listen to a sermon or read the Word without having that rise up within me. I've felt the call of God on my life for almost 10 yrs now and I feel like these past few years have just slipped through my fingertips.I've hidden over those years because I was so ashamed of my weight; what I'd become and what I looked like. This blog - conffesions of a curvy chick - is about stepping out of the darkness of shame and stepping into the light of accountability. I was looking for another scripture when I found this one and I LOVE it!
"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I WILL rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. ~ Micah 7:8"I fully believe that my Heavenly Father is lighting my path as I walk out of this dark place that I've been in for so long. I also believe the enemy is trembling because for SO LONG this has been his very successful tool in keeping me from all that God has for me! So ENEMY BEWARE!!! hehe!
Guys I know that's a lot and if you've read to this point THANK YOU!!! I'm going to need all the encouragement and support I can get along the way. This isn't going to be easy but I'm determined and more importantly if you're out there on a similar journey I'd love to be of some support to you! I find I'm happiest when I'm encouraging and helping others so please feel free to email me or share your stories of success, failures or just your current steps in the journey.
Ok that's all for now. Hoping to get a video up soon. Oh I have lost 2.5 lbs already, YAY! So, it's working!!! Again thank you all for your love and support!!!
Love & Hugs
