This blog has NOTHING to do with devotionals or the spiritual trek that I've been on. This isall about this new "healthy lifestyle" I'm living. I've said in my devotionals before that after my daughter was born I had some unexplained health issues. It took over 10 years to get it right! Good grief!
But, we're here now, in a healthier place--thinner, happier and smiling broadly. Let me be very clear--I DO NOT like exercise. It isn't my favorite thing to do, hence the name of this blog. Some mornings when I wake up and walk downstairs to the freaking treadmill, I spend the first minutes just looking at it. In my head, I'm saying, "Really? Are you still here? Didn't someone have the foresight to throw you away last night?" LOL
But, here's what I've learned guys, although I still take my medication for thyroid, I don't rely on it to help me lose weight. While I can't stop taking this particular medication, I also eat differently and war with my doggone treadmill.
As my "Bob Greene," Tierra would say, "I'm on a journey" and I'm enjoying it. As with every change in life there are highs and lows, good days and bad ones. But, take a singing lesson from my girl Latrice Pace and "Don't Give Up!" I'd like to encourage you (especially women) to invest in yourself. Too often, we live for the past...leave it there! The 20 year old me, who was a size 10 with no stretch marks and perky boobs, she's gone! LOL! Yep, I just said that. But, I embrace the beautiful, curvaceous woman I am today. I'm a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and most importantly I am a woman--worthy to be celebrated and so are you!
I'm going to toss in one scripture--Psalm 139:14--I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. So girlfriend, get up! Get moving! Change your life for the better...you can do it, I believe in you, now it's your turn to believe in yourself!
