With the awful weigh ins my current short term goal is to just get under 215 in the next 3 days. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it will be the first time I have been 215 or below since I was a sophomore in high school. That really wasn't all that long ago, but it seems like a lifetime and I am soooo tired of the 220's! I'm out of them and I'm definitely not going back!
After talking to my mom about my frustrations with my weigh ins she gave me the best advice I have received in a while. The sad part; it should have been completely obvious! I have been praying about this weight loss journey for a while and I have even discovered that when I'm on the ArcTrainer and the intensity is absolutely REDIC I can pray right then for God to give me strength and endurance to make through the rest of my workout and it hasn't failed me yet. My mom simply said to stick with what I am doing and eventually I will see the results. It may not be in my timing, but I shouldn't want it like that anyways. And the best piece of advice...pray for God's increase!
I'm going to add in this new prayer with the old ones and keep on keeping on in the gym and with the meal plan. I can't wait until I get to blog about weighing in under 215! It's going to happen and hopefully soon!
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.
That is great advice.
ReplyDeletesorry about the cheat day..oops..my fault. But those cupcakes were so amazing!
You know sometimes when im working out and i just don't think i can do it anymore...i turn on some praise and worship music and use that time to just talk to God and spend it with him. I've noticed such a change in my gym habits when doing this.
Also...don't let the scale discourage you. You are a girl so you are GOING TO fluctuate. it's normal...i promise the pay off will come.
The cheat day was a great break! No worries! :)
DeletePraise and worship music is what get's me through most days! It helps me so much its crazy!
