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.

one pound

Yesterday I made my way into LA weightloss and do you know what? In three weeks since I checked in last I gained.........(drum roll please)....one pound! Well, Maybe the Titanic is slow to turn one way or the other. Whatever. Don't try to follow the logic of a scale or you will go crazy. Do not try to hit the jackpot again and again, it won't happen.

I am on "Fast Forward" part of their program for two days, and then back to their "gold program" (the color of my program). The lady who helped me out yesterday was actually really nice and enthusiastic and even, like, fun, sort-of.

The lady said that cruises are really dangerous places and she has seen people gain as much as ten pounds in a week.

Yesterday I exercised at the club for 45 min spin class and 50 minute yoga class. I have lost a lot of my aerobic capacity. Oh well.

Tomorrow I want to go to the club for 8 AM and 9 AM classes. I know it will wipe me out. But can I do it anyway? I think so.

Today I had a massage. I have shoulder problems and the deep tissue massage really helps.

Good for you for going to the club... Spinning for 45 mins AND doing Yoga - I am sooooo impressed.

My sister-in-law and I went to our first spinning class ever on Saturday - OMG - and I mean OMG...that is quite a workout!!! But, I really did like it - and I think I could learn to LOVE it!!

Only 40 more days till my sister's wedding! YIKES! I know I won't be where I want to be - but I am praying that maybe I could lose a few more inches and/or pounds before her big day!!! Please keep me in your prayers on that one!!

Thinking and praying for your continued success on your journey!!

Blessings!

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?
