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.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is SUCH a GRIND! 2.6 pounds away!!! Oh, that I could get it done in 3 more weeks! My mind just says, "Why don't you just give up?" Yet, a part of me is encouraged to go on........Yes! I love the Lord! HE is so nice to me! I don't care if strangers (not Kimber) do not understand - I don't expect them to!

2 weeks 2.6 pounds.

Actually, to be fair, 3 weeks 2.6 pounds.

Or to put it more into perspective, 4 weeks, 2.8 pounds.

My percentage body fat is decreasing. It is really tough.

The last 8 days I had 4 work-out sessions of 2 hours each.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God made me intense. So this is good for me. I am so thankful for it and give myself, my body a living sacrifice. Do with me God, what You want. I can't wait to see You one day, face to face and eye to eye. May I make You proud. What an unreasonable thing that is, yet, it is possible, that God would be mindful of me.

He lifted me from the miry clay and placed me on a rock to stay.

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?
