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.

Lots of green powder

I made it through the first day of The Maker's Diet. It is chock-full of nutritious goo. Green power and green pills, brown pills and more. The food I ate was all meats, fruits and vegies. I want to stay on the plan for this six week period and see where I am at.

Yesterday I walked for 17 min and did 10 push-ups (bad ones).

This AM I went to the spin class, ate eggs and vegies and am going to do 10 push-ups. I have a massage scheduled for today, but I got to get another doctor to cover me for an hour at the hospital since I am on call.

Lord, I want to gloify You in my body. Show me where that verse is in the Bible. Make Your word come alive. It is alive. You are alive. Live Your life through me, an unworthy, but still standing vessel. (Maybe that can be the theme verse for this site.)

I found your other site! Interesting that you should be talking about the maker's diet because my mother just bought the book. She and I have been going through a detox program along with fasting to break any bonds of addiction. I most frequently find these verses encouraging!

Deut 8
3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
6 Observe the commands of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and revering him. 7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; 8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; 9 a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day."

I appreciate those verses and the fact that there are specific foods mentioned. I mean, God wouldn't mention bad foods and call them a blessing, but would list those good foods.
