For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary

I want to glorify Christ in my body, and I am learning how to do that. My name means "womanly," but what does that mean? When I became a new wife and Christian, I went on a mission to understand Biblical womanhood, focusing on her from the inside. In more recent years, as my body succumbed to the pull of glutony, gravity and aging, I am focusing as well on my physical appearance. I am learning how God would have me live as a beautiful woman (and aren't we all?) in this world for His glory.

Another day of grace received

Boy, am I tired! It is almost 11 PM but now is FINALLY the time I have to blog! This has got to be brief because I need some sleep.

I couldn't swallow the green powder. Thankfully, the stuff comes in capsules too. So I bought too bottles for a 94.00 price tag! I was telling my husband how hard it is to swallow my money that way. I take a bunch of pills now, but they aren't really pills. They are actually squashed vegies. All sorts of weird vegies.

I am now 155 as of this morning. I was surprised and happy to see the drop. I had mentioned that my goal was 150, but it is actually 145. Maintaining 145 would mean hovering around 143. That, my friend, would be utterly amazing. Amazing Grace.

I exercised like a crazy person this morning. To me it seemed crazy, but in the club, it didn't seem crazy. It didn't even seem that I could keep up, with the new yoga class I took this morning that is. I went to the spin class for 50 min and then immediately followed that with an 80 min power yoga class.

Noelle asked if I had ideas for staying in shape. I really don't have any, other that begging God and trying not to put off the opportunities He gives you. Also, I like to consider working out as a priviledge, which it is, rather than a chore. It is an honor to have a body that works properly and the time and opportunity to exercise and eat well.

I have finished the first 5 days of the Maker's Diet. I even made some homemade soup today. Oh my. I haven't cooked in a long, long time.
