Usually people say they are moving on to bigger and better things. Well not me. I am starting an endeavor to lose weight. I am going to try to track my progress through this blog so that I can see my progress and hold myself accountable.
I have attempted weight loss before and have always failed. But I have been praying for God to help me be motivated. He has been so faithful to us, always, but really visibly lately and I really feel like He is going to help me through this. I want to be able to sit on the floor and play with my kids. I want to run around outside with them. I want to be able to get pregnant again. And if I'm being truthful, I want to feel good about myself again.
So, I took measurements today, which I am NOT posting:). However I will update weekly as to inches and/or pounds lost. I am going to try and do P90X. It may not work out for me right away. I think it is more for people who are already fit, but want to be more muscular. So it might be too much for my way out of shape self. But I am going to try. And I am going to try to eat better and eat better things. This won't be easy. I am extremely picky. But I am going to the best I can, pray for help, and accept any encouragement that you want to give!!
YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Philippines 4:13. I am confident that God will help you along this journey, if you seek him in it. Just keep it in mind that it IS in fact a journey, a process that takes TIME and effort. You will have good and bad days at it, you will occasionally stumble, BUT you just keep trudging ahead. I am Still on that journey, and I will definitely be here to encourage you! YOU CAN DO IT!! With Christ ALL things are possible ;-)
ReplyDeletethanks krissie!! i am really going to put the effort in this time!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Jess!! P90X is a great option! It is tough, but I don't believe it is for those already fit...I started 2 weeks after having Isabella...no muscles and very out of shape...Justin's aunt just started her 2nd round...she's lost 40 pounds and is in her 40s...I know you can do it!! I will cheer you all the way! Lots of love to you!!!
ReplyDeletethanks Carrie!! I really want to do it and accomplish this. It's really important! My weight hasn't affected my health as of yet, but it's really only a matter of time. Although there is a possibility that my weight is the reason we can't get pregnant. I am going to take this really seriously and work really hard. Thanks for the encouragement!!
