Twelve BEAUTIFUL marks on my workout schedule! Twelve boxes checked on my workout calendar!!! One month and I'm still going after this!
Tonight was a good test for me. I have kept myself under my points allowance all week this week. Tonight we went to a dinner at the church. They served all of my favorites but I resisted. I did eat but small portions...my best guess I walked away from a dinner consisting of prime rib, rolls, Cesar type salad; mashed potatoes and red velvet cupcakes with a 24 point dinner...I know that's a lot of points but trust me it could have been sooooo much more. I did saved 13 of my points today for it and haven't used any flex points this week! And since I ran tonight I'm counting it a VICTORY! Thing that's so crazy about it is that I feel a lot better now than I would have if I would have stuffed myself. My stomach isn't all bloated and there is no way I could have ran tonight if I would have stuffed myself at the dinner. So maybe a new leaf turning over for me here!:)
I'm starting to crave working out...a good thing! I was running every third day but I'm recovering faster and faster from each run so I'm able to run every other day now. CRAZY!!! A month ago I could barely jog for 90 seconds. Now I'm running for much longer than that. It has become a time for me and God to hang out too. My Ipod is cramed with worship music. Tonight "Sweetly Broken" by Jeremy Riddle came on just as I was starting to cool down. Its one of my favorites. It talks about clinging to the cross! The cross that my...our savior, Jesus died on. To buy the forgiveness of siners. The greatest demonstration of love. The perfect sacrafice! Jesus calls to each of us from the cross. With arms open wide He waits for each of us to make a choice to be broken before him and surrender our lives to Him. To be surrendered to His will for our lives. Hands held high and worshiping Him. Eternally gratefully for the cross! Humbled before our mighty and glorious God! Humbled that He would love me...so unworthy and so very lost for a long time. He was just waiting for me to come home! And I'm home!
Final thing...today was my first "wow" day! You know, "Wow I can actually button those pants now!";) Wore a pair of pants I haven't worn in months today because well they finally button!:)
