I'm back!!!!

It seem like it has been a long time time since I last blogged, but like I said I'm back! I'm still maintaining the thirty pounds lost for this year. I am going for another twenty pound lost by the year's end! I will get there because my faith and trust is still in God, the creator of heaven and earth. The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. I have learned and relearned that I am not my own, and that getting and staying healthy is going to take the strength of God. He will give me His strength when I give Him my weakness. Now that is good news! I tried once upon a time just trying to eat healthy, but the Lord let me know that that wasn't going to get LASTING results like the kind that I needed. He let me know that I must add exercise to it. I know that I had read about doing exercises along with eating right, but it made such a difference when you hear from within. I read an article that said we need at least thirty-minutes of exercise five days a week. But I must admit there are times that I make excuses not to exercise, but I remember what my high school teacher always said when we made excuses for not having our homework done, he would say " excuses are like butts and everybody has one." Those words have always followed me. I found out that when I keeping making excuses, I always came up with another one. Someone once asked how much weight do I want to lose? I told them I want to be at a healthy weight so that I don't have to worry about all the sickness and diseases that sometimes come alone with been overweight. I am only talking about myself and I know this first hand. I talk from experience, and not something I heard or read. My purpose of this blog is to help encourage others, to tell of God's power to heal and make whole, to let one know that you are not alone, and that God wants only the Best for His children. And let one know that YOU are somebody and you are worth it. I know that everyone that read this is not going through the same thing, but I think it is just good to be reminded sometimes of the goodness of God. It is in Him that we live, and move and have our being. Healthy eating is the way to go!!!
