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.

I'm at a conference

I've been trying not to totally blow my diet at this conference and have had some successes but not fully so, but oh well. I ran away from the ice cream bars at 3:00 and got a grapefruit and avocado from my room. Yesterday I did walk rapidly on treadmill for 30 minutes. Today I hope to do stretch exercises for awhile. I think I will overeat and not fully follow the Maker's Diet while I'm here, but who can (wants to) turn away shrimp with cocktail sauce?

Today in the shower I happened to touch my back and realized it is more taunt. My legs and waist are chucky but I just gotta keep going. It is important not to be too frustrated with myself, after all, it IS ultimately a losing battle. But when compared with myself a few years ago, there is a huge difference and I am going to enjoy that.

About Me

Name: An Ordinary Christian

Location: Los Angeles,, California, United States

I am an "ordinary Christian". In this world I may be, as all of God's children, extraordinary (Gen 1:27). In Christ I can do extraordinary things (Phil 4:13). But I like to identify myself as an ordinary Christian because I want to serve Christ according to the pleasure of His will, as His bondservant, as a slave, one owned by her Master. As such, every extraordinary thing I may do in Christ is standard fare, expected and a reasonable service of worship. With my view of Christ on my cross, I do not evaluate my service according to my own judgment. I do not choose to think of myself more highly than I ought, but rather I want to think of myself with sober judgment (Rom 12:3). Anything good I do is by the grace of Christ given me. I have no ability to measure what I do or don't do. I desire for my eye to be single and good. This is why I am an ordinary Christian. After all, Paul called himself "chief of sinners." Is it anything unreasonable to be known as an ordinary Christian?
