Changes.......

Romans 14:7
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of Righteousness and Peace and Joy in The Holy Spirit.

Oh, how these months of the Biggest Loser have been different. I have tried all of the diets and exercise programs and his has been the one to work. I remember sitting at the pre-lim. meeting to find out about the Biggest Loser. I was ready that night to change. I am not a size 6, but I have changed in different ways. I have lost pounds but even more in inches. I am wearing size 16 jeans that I can easily pull off without unbuttoning them. I now need a belt with them. Dresses that I have been wanting to wear have now become too big. I like working out, even when I get into a funk. I don't want to binge and gorge on food. I like running. I can jog 2 miles straight and not even stop to walk at all. I have my breathing down that i don't overexert myself when working out. I haven't had a panic attack since I don't know when. And so on the night before my Big 5K race and Biggest Loser banquet, I am thinking that at this time I am climbing the mountain. I am about half ways up and feeling good. I have been so long at the bottom of the mountains, I couldn't even see the top. Even now I'm sitting with my size 16 pants and my large shirt that I bought long ago, and finally I really fit into it. Another FYI is that I haven't bought new clothes. These are clothes that have been pushed away in my closet for when I lose weight.

I am proud of myself for how well I have done during the Biggest Loser.I really can't wait to see my before picture and then my after picture that was taken this past week.

I am planning on doing what I did for Spring Break all summer long. Working out in the morning and evening. I am planning n having real quiet time with God and to work on some self-esteem and approval issues that have come up. I worked so hard on my outside, I need to give that much attentional to what's going on with me.

I am wanting to continue to blog even after the Biggest Loser ends. Thank you to all who reads this.
