Okay sweet friends!
This is our final week with our Get Moving Series.
Thanks to everyone who joined in!
Even if you only worked out once this last month please read this last entry.
I really want you to be encouraged today.
For the last year and a half I’ve been saying ‘I have 20 lbs to lose’ and I’ve lost/gained the same 5 lbs too many times to count.
I wanted to shed the weight but I didn’t want to give up being lazy or snacking on junk.
Confidence was running an all time low and I started to settle with defeat.
I don’t ever want to be scared when it comes to my weight.
I don’t want to see a picture of myself and cry.
I also don’t want to think about this thing 24/7 and make it an idol before God.
Desiring freedom in Christ is at the forefront of weight loss for me.
He came so that i’d not be shackled and living in bondage to anything.
I stood before my husband the other night and told him I have 4 months, and asked him to remind me 4 months each time McDonald’s seems easier, the couch seems more comfy than taking a walk.
This is our verse.
We’re going to cling to it, put it on our fridges, and remember truth..
We HAVE to be disciplined in order to have peace in the heart.
It’s painful.
(At First)
The longer we train our bodies to eat right and get moving, we will begin to walk in that way naturally.
We’re not going to obsess over this.
Just like brushing our teeth we’ll reach for our tennis shoes and choose to take a walk.
My prayer for you has been that you learn to find balance in this area.
That we wouldn’t obsess about what goes in our mouths and how much we’re running/walking.
That we’d do the thing and move on with our day.
There has to be chocolate, and the occasional french fry in my diet or else i’ll binge!
It’s all about moderation.
I hope this last month that something said on this blog was able to nudge you in the right direction or encourage you in your journey.
Thank you again!
I still like walking 
What will you be doing?
