I shall live

Another day another chance to encourage someone else that is on the same road I'm on to better health. Just like the roads we travel sometimes we hit a bump that slow us down. But even though we slowed down we didn't turn around. That's the same way about weight loss even though sometime we may "fall of the wagon" or hit a plateau, We must still continue to go on.I have came to a lot of bumps in the road and sometimes it seem to be a"road close" sign!Even with that giving up were never an option. When I went to the Lord and confess, repent, and forgive myself and others, I am now able to say to God "It's by any means necessary" I thank God that I have a different mind-set about weight loss. I now know it is NOT about the numbers on the scale, but whether am I willing to make healthy eating a way of life for the rest of my life. I don't know everything however I know more now than I did before. Yes we can DO ALL things through Christ that gives us the strength!!! So don't worry b healthy!!

Giving up is NEVER an option

It has been awhile since I've blogged. I have had some medical issues since my last blog. Well since I am 54 years young, I ran into men-o-pause and it really did a number on me. My weight went up to 320 which made my blood sugar and blood pressure to rise also. My doctor didn't know what to do so I told her what to check for. My lord you would think she would have known to check my thyroids! But with God's help I got back on track. But doing that time I still workout and watch what I was eating. The weight began to come off. slowly but surely. I have pushed it up a notch now. I will be posting pictures.  I know that this is a ongoing lifestyle  change but I'm in it for the long haul. No turning back my health is at stake and I don't have time to waste. So will continue to look to the hills which cometh my help.. my help come from the Lord!

Confessions for a healthy lifestyle

I commit to live a healthy lifestyle like God intended for me. I prepare healthy foods for my family and myself. I treat my body well and don't abuse it. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. There , I come out from among foods that deplete my body of essential nutrients. I separate myself unto God and I eat that which is good, healthy, and nutritional and that will provide the building blocks to restore my body and bring me to the state of optimum health. I exercise regularly and my body is strong. My life is balanced according to God's perfect plan for me. I get sufficient rest and sleep so that I begin each week refreshed and ready to make a difference for the kingdom. I keep my body under and don't allow my flesh to control me. I cancel all destructive cravings for food and substances that threaten my health and well begin. I speak to all junk food that comes into my presence. I decree that you have no power to control my desires or my appetite. I am free from bondage to unhealthy food products. I get the wisdom of God to direct me how to prepare and buy healthy foods. I command my body to obey me and my mind to focus on the image of health. I see myself with a daily lifestyle that positions me for a high level of anointing and productivity to fulfill the dream and vision God has placed in my heart. I walk in the spirit and do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. In Jesus name.

downsizing

A week have gone by and I am still getting this flesh to line up and obey my words. The word said that I shall have whatsoever I say. I am reminded of the scriptures about God when He said let there be light, and there was light! Sometimes I don't realize the power that's in our mouth. Even when I am starting to fix my plate, I have to be aware of how much I put on it and what kind of food I put on it. All of that is going to make a different on my waistline! And I sure don't want an increase waistline!! But even with that I must remember that on my own I can do nothing, but with God all things are possible. I and you can do all things through Christ that give us strength! What I say unto one I say to all: Eat healthy and get moving!!

Living well in 2012!

Happy New year to all. Last year was really filled with many lumps and bumps in the road. I was dealing with a number of medical issues. But I'm happy to say that the Lord let me know about s things I had to do in order for my body to be set back in order. I found out that when I trust and obey, things began to turn around for the better. On December 8th the doctor report came back "normal"!!! I was glad to hear that kind of news. She asked what was I doing to get a good report like that, I told her that becoming a vegetarian and working out at least five days a week, eating no processed, fried, sweets, and drinking tons of water! But the main thing was to have a made up mind that it's now or never! I told her I feel so much better, more energy, and most of all more breath to praise and magnify the God of my salvation. No it was not easy at all, but I have people around that holds me accountable! I know what I stand for and sometimes guilt will stick it's ugly head and try to make me feel like I don't deserve all this happiness, but the thing is that when Christ rose from the dead, access was granted! Any if anyone think that they can't live well in 2012, you are wrong! You shall have whatsoever you say! Only say the things you want to come to pass in your life! The body is the home of the soul so be good to it!!!

HOLD ON

Hold On is the words I kept repeating to myself. I have many opportunities to give up, but I am determine not to take any of them. This weight loss thing for me is a mind thing. Since I've had many pass failures in this area, I now realize that I really didn't have a made up mind. I was fooling myself and was move by situations around me. I would get excited about someone else weight loss and I just knew I could do it too. Not that I am not glad for all the people that has loss weight, but however I am saying that with me it was just talk. Talk is cheap,but it takes money to buy land. That's what some people used to say. I know now I got to hold to that I know and not give up. After all the weight didn't come overnight. And it probably is not going to leave over night. Of course I don't mind if it does! I know now it is never too late to better ones self both naturally and spiritually. I realize by the power invested in me by the Lord, I can do this. So can you! We are kind, We are beautiful, We are worth it. Naturally Fit

I KNOW WHO I AM

One would probably say since I am at this age, That I should know who I am and that is true. But sometimes when a person has had rejection, fear, and all sorts of ugly name calling, it makes it painful to face the reality of it. Which what I was afraid to do, but I found out we are never to dirty to come to the cross and received a washing in the blood of the Lamb. Our feelings and emotions will never be a shock to Him.

Thinking that I was too messed up, I almost gave up. That had a lot to do with the weight not coming off. I didn't believe in myself because I had tried time after time to lose the weight. I think I must have tried every kind of weight loss diets that had ever being thought off. When in reality the diets didn't fail me I fail the diets. Because there were issues that I was afraid to face and I knew it would be very painful for me to pull up those issues. But guess what God gave me the grace to face my demons as someone called it! That's why I tell people that God is the only way I could do this. I tell them that it's in Him that I live move and have my beings and the mind and will to get fit and healthy! I know who I am. I am above and not beneath, I am the head and not the tail, I am rich and not poor, I am the righteousness of God, I am seated in heavenly places, but most of all I am made in His image! My prayer is for all the ones that has felt or feel unloved, unhappy or miserable because of the weight I pray that God will send His word to heal us. And that we would learn to eat and live in a way that's pleasing to Him. Naturally Fit
