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.

Onward!

The day after I got home, I stepped on the scale and saw the number - 147.5. I felt a sigh of relief that it wasn't worse. I thought about all the times that I refrained from eating. I thought about all that I did eat. Then I ate heartily that day.

The next day I stepped on the scale. 150. I began (once again) to follow my diet regimen. I did 75 minutes of yoga/pilates.

The next day was this morning. 148. Today's LA Weightloss diet plan went flawlessly today.

Tomorrow is my scheduled check-in day with LA Weightloss. I was going to cancel and reschedule for about a month. However, I think that I want to go in and face the music. I want to learn. I want to get better, to do better, to be in good control.

I think I am going to have to pay for more weightloss weeks. Oh well.

My plan is to follow my diet plan, my exercise plan, my life plan, complete with Bible Study and prayer, regular work and home life schedule for the two and half weeks ahead before I get to go on yet another vacation!

Then, at the cruise (can you believe it?) I am hoping to eat and exercise, read, study, do Bible Study and hang out.

That is about it. Life goes on. Life is all right with me. It's all good.

I am realizing that be truly healthy, it will a life long journey. There are days when I am great and days that I am really far from great!
But I am learning, like you, to really but my mind and body under God's plan for my life...it is the best way to go. And of course, He offers grace when I blow it - which is so comforting!

Hope the rest of your week goes well! Oh, and, cruise??!! - wow - how fun!!

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?
