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.

Wobbling?

Well, At my last check-in at LA Weightloss, I was down about 1.2 pounds and the lady was enthusiastic and supportive. She kept saying that for the amount of exercise that I do, I should be able to eat a lot more. Well, I thought so too, but the scale is the scale, and though it can be off a few pounds here and there, it isn't off by that much. Anyway, after that meeting I kind of blew my diet a little - had some cake. Found my motivation weakening.

Last night I was up really late, until 5 AM (see my other entry post - "Adventures of") and I had myself a little celebration and ate: about 2 ounces of chocolate candy, about 3/4 cup chocolate ide cream (the good stuff), about 5 tablespoons chocolate frosting and 4 oreo cookies. I enjoyed every minute and thought that there must be something physically addictive in that stuff.

Since I slept much of today, I haven't eaten much, so am hoping that abstinence will off-set the chocolate party that I had with myself.

The scale was down to 146 last week, but that was just for a moment. It has been hoovering around 147.5 these days. When my scale says about 142, I should make my goal weight of the 145 at their scale. These last weeks are difficult, but I feel like the person Paul speaks of (himself) when he says that he buffetts his body and makes it his slave. I feel like I am on some type of over-all fast under God's authority, if I may be so presumptous?

Got to exercise about 5 hours last week. Was too tired and pre-occupied to go to the gym work-out this morning, which I thought was fine under the circumstances.

Kimber, let us stay focused. It really is hard. My God be with us.

Andrea - I think you are doing great!!! I know some days are just hard hard hard - and we cave into our flesh and eat more than we should...but Thankfully, there always a fresh start waiting for us!

His mercies are NEW every MORNING!!!

You are doing great!! I am so proud of you!!! It is more than what the scale says, it is that you are choosing to live a more healthy lifestyle for the most part - and that does count ya know!!!
