It's A New Season

Wow, so much has happened since we last talked. In September, I sold my home. It was only on the market for 1 day, and we closed in exactly 30 days. The whole story is a miracle in itself, and a testament of what God will do if we (I) just trust Him. We have to take Him at His word, and dare not doubt for a moment. With the way that our economy is, to be able to open and close on a home in 30 days is nothing far from a miracle from God Himself! And I thank Him every, every day.

Now that I have relocated, I have decided to tackle this one major thing that I have tried to fight, ignore, hide from, for so long. My weight. Although I believe I am a beautiful person (hey, if you don't think so, who will?), I still know that I am not a healthy person. After enjoying a beautiful trip to Bahamas on my birthday, I came back to the realization that there is no better time than now. I have trusted God with every area of my life (not to say that I have always done what He said...I would not dare make such a bold statement.) But now, I must trust Him with that one area that will require a great deal of work from me in the physical sense. I must now redirect my attention to this physical vessel. So, beginning this past Tuesday, I began my "visits" to the local YMCA. I have been using the treadmills, bikes, and strengthening and toning equipment. I have developed a healthier eating plan, and am trying very hard to stick with it. I know that for me eating healthier and exercising regularly, prefaced with much prayer, is what will help me to become a healthier version of me! No fad diets or quick fix programs will help me (not for long anyway). I attended a Yoga class this week that had me sweating as though I had run a mile. (And everyone else in the class was a senior adult. They seemed to have no problems. haha) Next week, I will "attempt" to begin the Zumba class.

As Oprah says, this one thing I know for sure. I know this will be a long road, but I am taking it one day at a time. With the help of God, I can do this. I encourage you to face that one thing that you dread the most. Ask yourself if this is the time to face it. Take baby steps. What can you do this week to begin the process of correcting it.

Take care, and I will update you on my progress soon.
