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.

A little struggling...

Well, this week at my check-in, I weighed no different than the week before. I thank God that I didn't gain. I am struggling going from point A to point B. "Dear Father: Make this body Your machine. Thank You for this opportunity to become like an athelete in a way - for the luxury of focusing on this thing of my body. Yet, it is important for it is Your temple of the Holy Spirit and we should be able to control our bodies, not our lusts to control us. Help me to glorify you in my body, Amen."

I have been discouraged because I am not seeing big results over here, even though I have been faithful now for 6 weeks straight...I know it gets harder when we get older...and I know that it takes more time to get rid of the extra pounds than it does to put them on....but OMG...this has been a little depressing lately - not to see any movement at all -when I am trying so hard - WHHHHHHAAAAAAA :(

But, I will keep pressing on and WORKING OUT!!!

Thanks for being on the journey with me - it really helps when I get discouraged to have someone out there who understands :)

May God give us strength and help us to perserve! All for His GLORY!!!

Miss ya!

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?
