How quick is quick? A quick update!

The last couple of weeks have gone a lot better. Tomorrow is my check in to LA Weight Loss. Last week I lost 1.2 pounds, but I am still up a couple of bpounds since before I went on that cruise. I had NO IDEA that things could go that for astray. Well, anyway, exercise is "fun" no really it is. It is a blessing to be able to exercise. God is good.

I kind of came to the end of myself in trying to reach this "145." I am really so undeserving. I would undermine my efforts because I don't deserve to be in that good of shape, to have that much "self-control," to look that good in clothes that my husband of 23 years says that I have the "perfect sized" butt - imagine that!

So, I gave it all to God, again. And again now, in brief:

"Dear Father, I do not deserve to have the body that you have allowed me to have. I know that You have empowered me to become this way and to have the self-control, which is Your control, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, to eat better than I used to. Father, help me to be humble and to carry myself with the humility of Christ, if it were at all possible. But through You all things are possible. Father, I give You my body and ask that You possess my body, my mind, my whole being for Your glory. I want to live for You and to die for You because You have become my whole life. What do I have on earth or in heaven beside You and who is for me but You alone? You are my defender and my life and I want You and nobody else. In Jesus' name. Glorify Yourself in my body. I know that You have given my body to my husband and to me as a gift and as a testimony of what You can do. Amen."
