The new enemy the stair master thingy…..
Tonight I am camping, in a nice RV that is. (However, I will post this the next day, no signal no nothing!) I must say I do enjoy camping with my Aunt and Uncle. My cousin Judy and her husband always come down and I get to stay with them. I love it. It is a lot of fun. And luckily they only camp about 30 minutes from town.
So today I went to the gym and I ended up having a great work out. The is a machine that I told my cousin Terri that it was straight from the pit of Hell. It was like I was climbing up stairs. And it was so much harder. It was not like the elliptical where I had some tip of stride. With this Machine, you just step on it and man was it ever hard. I did it two times, and my trainer only made me do a minute each time. So I have decided that I am going to conquer it as well.
The other great thing about today was that fact I got to hang out with two of my very best friend from High school. It feels like such a long time ago that we were in high school and it has been awhile since I have seen them. Sometimes God brings people into your life when you need it. I am not going to lie, but right now I am just having a hard time with life. Life has gotten so hard. There are things that I wish I could change about my life, but I know I can not do that. But the one thing that I am going to try to change is my weight and while I know that it is not going to be easy, I know that for me it is a lot of mental stuff, however, I do believe in my heart that I can do it. While I know there are a lot of people that are out there who DO NOT think I can do. That makes me mad and It makes me want to do it harder and faster. Judy is my trainer, along with Terri. Both of them have made this journey a lot easier with the encouragement and the faith that they have in me. It would be a lot harder for me to do this if I did not have the support of them. I will not lie to you but at first Judy scared me to death. Boy she can take you down if you are not careful. But I have figured her out (kind of) she is a sweet person who love Jesus and loves helping people who want to get healthier. Terri did not scare me but she is a motivation for me. Like I have said before Terri is my inspiration. She lost over 150 I believe without surgery. If she had the surgery it for me it would be hard to use her as an inspiration. She has lost a lot of weight the right way but learning about nutrition and upping her exerse. The main the thing that want to say it that it is a life style change. I had a ice cream cone and I figure both Judy and Terri would kill me. And I felt bad about eating it but in my head I THOUGHT well it is ok because I got the kiddie cone. Yes I did I was proud. Terri look at my book, and I am sure she laughed because I was having a guilt trip on myself. Terri then asked me before this journey what I would have gotten. I said I would have gotten the biggest waffle cone, dipped in chocolate, and chocolate ice cream. The she asked what I got. And I was like a kiddie cone. She then looked and me saying that my ice cream cone was progress. I was like WHAT? She said it is not the fact that I got the ice cream cone that was good, it was the fact that I got the smallest size and I was conscious of my decision. She told me that it is baby steps.
Well I have ramble on and on so I am going to go but be safe and take care!
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:16-21
