Gotta get back on track!

Okay... I know I said this in the last post, but I HAVE to get back on track!  God gave me this one body and I need to take care of it!  I will have to admit that the last few weeks haven't been too great.  I have pretty much eaten whatever I wanted and found excuses for it every time!

NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!

"19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body."     --1 Corinthians 6:19-20

If I am truly a child of God, then I am HIS.  I am not mine!  And just how am honoring God with my body right now???  Not by eating junk food all the time and snacking late at night! 

God created me, with my own free will.  I need to use this "free will" to make better choices and tell myself "NO" when I don't need something...  like the nachos that I ate at 10pm Saturday night.

So, today is the day that I get back on track.  I'm still not going to do anything crazy.  I am even going to allow myself to have things that I like, just in moderation. 
One possitive thing is that I've been exercising, so I haven't gained any weight.  I'm still not healthy, though.  I need to be eating better AND exercising.  That's how to become a "Healthier Me".  That's what I want to do.  That's what I NEED to do!

Have a beautiful day!

Stuck...

Well, I'm stuck at 163. It's been several weeks. I'm okay with that though, because I'm losing inches! If I had to choose, I'd rather lose inches than pounds. So, I took this Fusion class on Friday and it kicked my butt! I will be taking it again next week :) Surely if it hurts this bad, I will begin to see results! I've got on my size twelves and I need a belt! My goal is to be in a ten by Christmas. I have a couple of new dresses that are a size ten, but I want to be a size ten in jeans! This is something that I know is possible. I just have to keep my focus in the right place. "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty." -Zech. 4:6b Today we took the kids swimming after working out and I will have to say that I didn't feel too bad in my swimsuit! If I just didn't have this baby belly... gut. At least I have two fabulous children to show for it! We took the kids to see Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D today. It was so fun! We really had a great time! I need to get better about posting my food intake and posting more often! Maybe then I would actually start seeing more pounds come off. Accountability works! Have a great week!
