Yesterday was hard. I turned down lasagna and great looking desserts. I'm trying to stick to Maker's Diet phase one for 2 more weeks but I am having yogurt which isn't technically allowed. Now I'm in spin class. Scale was 156-57 this AM. I don't want that thing playing head trips with me. I just want to stay on Maker's Diet for total of 6 weeks with 5-6 days a week of significant exercise. Then in 6 weeks I'll see where I'm at, which I think will be around 148 or so and then I'll figure out what to do next. Trying to eat healthy with good food choices. Trying to enjoy being the woman God created me to be in everyday life at work in my professional role as a woman and in my private life with my husband, children and kids. The devil isn't happy with all this. Well, he can go to hell. I'm living for Jesus. Out for now.

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?
