Weight, Fitness, et al

First off, here is my link to today’s fit day journal.

 I also wanted to give some credit where credit is due.  God is faithful!  In this post, I talked about my weight loss (or lack there of) and how I finally realized I needed to just turn it over to God.  So, I have simply been eating right (well, mostly those of you who look at yesterday’s fit day journal will notice I went to Chipotle for dinner and had some ice cream) and leaving the rest up to God.  Today marks a 20lb weight loss.  I started off with my first weigh-in of 2007 weighing 248lbs.  This morning, I weighed 227!  God is awesome.

To meet my goal of 215 by June 1, I still need to loose about 2lbs per week; however, if God wants it to happen, it will happen.  I just need to do my part by eating right and exercising.

 You'll notice I don't have anything for lunch on the 20th.  We had all day meetings at work and they brought in lunch.  I didn't know how to log the stuff, so I left it off.  Just for the record, here is what I had (from Panera bread):

  1.  Some kind of salad with parmesian cheese, tomatoes, black olives, etc…
  2. Dressing (1-2 tbsp)
  3. Diet dr pepper
  4. a turnkey turkey sandwitch (dry)
  5. a small snack bag of krunchers
  6. a cookie

Today we'll have lunch brought in from another company.  My goal is to eat better today.

Weight Loss

If you have been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m in the process of loosing weight.  I started off the year at a high of 248.  I want to end up at 215 by June 1.  Right now, I’m sitting at 234…that means I am 14 lbs down and 19 lbs to go.  If you do the math, that works out to almost 2 lbs per week.  I’ve been doing everything…watching what I eat (and not doing a great job of it…weekends are rough), working out on the Nordic Trac, and even taking some hoodia.  Well, this morning while doing my Bible study, I realized I hadn’t done what I really needed to do:  turn it over to God.

So, with that revealed to me, I decided to pray about it.  You’ll find more detail later why I think God cares about my weight (but we are supposed to take care of our bodies), but I turned it over to Him.  I’m still watching what I eat (I’m going to work harder on the weekends) and working out; however, this is up to God.  He created my body…He can make it loose weight.

So, if you are looking for something to pray about, why not join me in praying about my weight.  Pray that God would allow me to eat healthy.  Pray that I would continue to work out.  But, in the end, when I get to my goal, it is God that got me there.

Thanks!
