"For I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me"
I've come to the realization that like everything else in my life, in order to lose the rest of this weight...I'm going to need Christ to strengthen, guide, and protect me... strengthen my mind to continue thinking this is the right thing to do, guide my body to the gym, and protect me from the high calorie foods I love that is...
Some people think I enjoy working out - they hear my regimen and automatically assume that this is the lifestyle I want to live. That couldn't be further from the truth. While I enjoy doing stuff and being active...I don't want to have to workout. Nothing about working hard and sweating my hair out for a 30-45min workout twice a day without instant gratification is my idea of fun. So now when I run, I listen to Christian Rap because if Jesus can die for my sins why can't I run for another quarter of a mile. If God can love me that much, why can't I love myself enough to finish that 30mins. Surprisingly...it works and I'm glad because my only other option is to pray for the miracle that I go to sleep tonight and wake up healthy in my ideal body. And while I know He could do it, the same way He fed the multitude...I don't think that's on God's to do list.
