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.

At LA Weightloss yesterday I got to an all-time low of 148.2. Now I am finally back to where I was before that cruise disaster - (and I didn't even eat that much!). They gave me an extra 4 weeks free to reach my goal weight of 145. Oh the pain! YEsterday I exercised (fairly hard) at the club for three classes - spin, yoga and pilates. WOW! Tonight is a fancy dinner in which I am going to enjoy steak, veggies and desert, a coctail and probably one glass of wine. There goes the scale up three pounds. But, as long as I get right back on track, I'll live to tell about it. I am going to enjoy Ruth Chris steak house with my husband. Live and learn!

But to my surprise, I had lost 2 pounds while I was gone - probably due to the emotional roller coaster of watching them play...and all the walking to each game :) Hoping that my spinning class tomorrow doesn't wipe me out - I am nervous - please pray that it isn't to difficult to get back into it!!

Blessings! And Congrats again!

Kimber, that happens to me too, when you stop exercising and lose a couple of pounds. I think it has to do with water leaving the muscles. I try not to be fooled by it and press on!

God bless you and thank you for your support.
At 7:27 PM, Kimber said...: Thanks for your prayers...spinning classes yesterday and today were really really tough - almost like starting over...but I am hoping that my next classs won't be so hard....

I am sure that the weight loss is "water"....and I will keep pressing on...to date - I have lost 20lbs now - and still have plenty more pounds to go - but I really love how I feel, and I can tell my body is chaning - and the greatest thing is the energy and "joy" I feel for giving this effort my all - cuz I know I am pleasing the Lord.

Thanks for your support and prayers too - it means sooooooooooooo much!!

Hope you are having a great week!!
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?
