This past week found me at a crossroads in my Weight Loss journey. I was afraid of this point. I was hoping to bypass it.
I tend to do really good at losing weight for a couple of weeks. Then I quit. My busy schedule overwhelms me. I don't want to take the time to cook healthy meals or excercise. It seems like too much work.
Last week I was at that point. I was ready to throw in the towel. Then I remembered my commitment I made when I decided to get real about my weight. And the truth is…
I don't want to go backwards.
I really do want to lose weight and be healthy. I don't want my joints to ache. I don't want my jeans to be tight. I want to have energy for hiking and (hopefully) backpacking with my family.
Most of all, I want to be my best for my Heavenly Father. He is my motivation…and my strength.
Thankfully tonight when I stepped on the scales tonight, I was down 0.4lbs for a total lost of 7.4 lbs.
It helps me to believe in myself. I really can do this.
And you can do it too my friend.
