NO, the picture above is not me. But it is someone I aspire to be--fit and healthy. Today marks my third week of exercise, non-stop, for at least three to four times a week. Two months ago when I went to my doctor, she told me I had slightly high cholesterol. I was shocked to say the least. No wonder I was feeling weird. I had stopped exercising for more than a year because I went through bilateral hernia surgery. I was afraid of ripping my insides again. But a year is long enough. I came to weigh 169 pounds. I am down to 160 and I hope to drop a few more pounds. But today, I felt a little bit tired. I did not want to exercise. But then I thought of the following Bible verse which motivated me to get up and finish the week:
"In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:6
I hope to continue to workout, putting God first in my plans so they will succeed. I have eight more weeks to go...I'll keep you posted.
