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.

Touch Base

Things are going about an eight in the health department, and that is good, I guess. The day before yesterday I went off my diet and ENJOYED my cake and candy and donuts!!!!! Then I went back on. The week before I went off the diet twice and still lost two pounds, even while getting my period which put my weight up a bit. But that is the funny thing about weight. But I am back on my diet and yesterday went well. Several more weeks to go. I just can't be perfect all of the time.

Today I get my hair done, or should I say dyed. Okay, dyed. Well, it is pretty highlights. The hair dresser does a real good job matching the look to the way I used to look until my hair starting going old on me.

Tomorrow is micro-dermabrasion at the Dermatologist's office.

I am searching to time to exercise TODAY. May God provide a way.

Jesus,
Thank you for dying for my sins. Help me to walk in the light of Your grace. Help me not to compromise in my attitude and in my ways. Walk with me today and bless my blogger friends. Amen.

Glad things are going about an 8 for you :) They are going about an 8 for me too....I am being very faithful to eat right - not cheating (much...hee hee) and still exercising from 1-2 hrs about 5 or 6 times a week....the scale says I have now lost 5 lbs total - not as much as I would like, but at least it keeps going down...

It is now week 4 for me...so I am hoping things will really get better and better :)

How fun to get your hair and beauty treaments done...good for you!!!!

Lord, we do ask for your favor and your help in being faithful to giving our lives and our bodies to you :) May you give us strength and perserverance to do what is right for our bodies....AMEN!

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?
