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.

New Beginnings, again and again

My pants are tight. Need I say more? Well, yes, I shall. My pants are tight but they fit! And my witts are about me.

This is what I think that the problem has been as to why my pants are tight. I've have a change of lifestyle that is not entirely my "fault." I used to be able to work out Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM until 11:15 and every other Friday available for a massage from 9 AM until 10:15 and on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays I finished work at 2:30 to go pick up the children. WOW. That was cool. What a fun life.

Then, things changed. But God has a plan! (Of course!) Anyway, now I basically work about 9ish until whenevever I finish which is around 5 or 6 and sometimes later and usually on weekends also.

So, I suppose things could be worse.

What I am trying to do is work-out at 5 AM, then do Bible Study at 6ish and also get the children off to school, also get myself ready and leave about 9 AM. This is what I am trying to wiggle myself into.

I starting drinking diet cokes again, but one day I will quit again. They're just not good for you! If something gives you a headache, doesn't that mean that there is a problem with the brain? Something is hurting, called pain, because of tissue damage, in the brain. That doesn't sound good. Anyway.

I am also trying to do some daily exercises on my own. The ten minute rule. Exercise at least ten minutes every day. That is what I am trying to do.

I am also having to eat more according to what I know to do is best.

I spent an entire year getting into the best shape of my life and then I "spent" it in about six weeks eating and fluffing around. It is amazing how quickly the body loses strength and cardiovascular breating/exercise capacity in an almost 45 year old woman!

It is okay. Time to move on!

I miss the clothes I used to be able to wear but now I don't because I want to cover my thighs more.

Onward!!!!!!!!

I am about 155 my scale. I need to go to LA Weightloss Monday, but don't want to. But I'm going to have to do it. I got down to as low as 140 my scale but really 147 my scale is just where I want to be. (It is not only the scale, but the muscle tone.)

Life! Ahh, ugh! It is hard!

"The flesh fights against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh so that you can not do the things you want to do (Romans 7, I think)."

"But in all these things we are more than conquerers through Christ who loves us!"
