Strength & Sensitivity

Titus 2:12
It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age

            Let me move this story along so we can get to the good parts, as much as I would like to share the details of my tribulations, I feel that it will take away from the essence of the story I am telling and give more power to the enemy.

I’ll just put it like this when I thought I was the fitness Wonder Woman and my focus had shifted from all the things that I was looking for: career, companionship, marriage etc. In that season of adversity I met the man that would make me happy for the rest of my life. And because our God always makes plans for us when we are not even looking He sent me this man that will stand by me through the thick of my sorrow. Thankfully I made it through the thick since what does not break you only makes you stronger.

After all that was said and done I moved overseas for three years and while I was focusing on forgiving and forgetting, the scale started to creep up in an unfavorable direction. Leave it to my “knight in shinning amour” to come to rescue again. The love of my life, as I fondly call him, asked me to be his wife and I said Yes, Yes, Yes a million and one times over Yes!

Elated, excited, joyfully happy I hit the gym hard again, I cleaned out my kitchen and refrigerator because we all know that  “You do not alter a Vera Wang to fit your body. You alter your body to fit a Vera Wang”. LOL! I truly had to add that in there. Between the Weight Watchers Online, InsanityWorkout DVDs and hitting the gym three times a week I looked fabulous on my wedding day. Photoshop or not I was the flawless, pristine and impeccable bride that I needed to be for my pictures.

Right after the wedding I got lax about my fitness regimen AGAIN and dare I say it… this is where I am now…  reading this I sound like someone who is so obsessed with weight but honestly 200 lbs. on a 5 feet 4 inches body frame is just not healthy.

My story is not about weight it’s more about health and fitness. I want to talk about all the things that I have tried and still trying. What has worked and what hasn’t. I want to talk about the quick but dangerous fixes and the long lasting changes that are unbearable but necessary. I am 50 lbs. away from a healthy weight for my height, heart and life. So lets take this journey together and see how far we can go. If in the process you decide this will work for you then join me because as I preach all the time: there is power in numbers.

Lots of Hugs & Kisses XOXO
