Treasure of the day...

"For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."
Romans 8:24-25

trust HIS heart

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ...For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9,10

~God is enough for me... for my problems, my pain, my hurt and my desires. When I am afraid or worried or self-condemning, I will remember WHO sustains me! God is sufficient! So I will lay my burdens, flaws, needs, guilt, anger, frustration, fear, disappointments and desires on His shoulders and trust His heart!!!~

"God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind, So when you don't understand, When you don't see His plan, When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart" ~Babbie Mason

Update...

Last week (which was week 7 of our Get Healthy 2009 Challenge) was a tough week! I made it once to the gym and was just beating myself up because I really didn't have any excuse for not going. Booo me!

Well, it's day 1 of Week 8 and so far so good. Made it to the gym today! Yay God! But I was definitely dragging my feet going this morning. But I have to say I feel good!!! =)

So for my Monday Weigh-in results... I'm down 2 lbs! (total of 8.5 lbs) Woooohooooo!!! That puts me down to 160 lbs. I was hoping that I would drop 1 more pound or even half a pound just so I can say I'm no longer in the 160s... but next Monday for sure!!! =P

I'm doing well with counting calories (expect for the past two Fridays!) but I do have to be consistent in writing them down even if I'm keeping a tally in my head because I recognize how easy it is to go over. With the workouts, we'll as you know that's been off lately but I'm determined to get back into routine this week. For a while there, I was on track everyday and it seemed so easy to stay on routine but I soon found out how easy you can fall off the wagon and you're struggling to get back on. I realized that I've got to be persistent in keeping my routine and guarding my gym/workout time. I mean I know life happens ... that I can't avoid but I still can do little things to keep me somewhat on track. I was so proud of myself yesterday when we had our youth get together for lunch and it wasn't my high-calorie (day off) day. I knew if I went and didn't eat anything I would most likely cave and have EVERYTHING. lol. So I decided to cut up fresh veggies and my husband bought a vegetable dip (60 cal for 2 tbsp!!!). That definitely keep me from getting the "other stuff". I was just thrilled that I stayed strong and was determined to eat clean that day regardless of the event. =) Yay God!!!


Anyway... off to another week!!! =)

p.s. Today at the gym, I was definitely seeing changes in my body. Feels soooo good!
