These are my thoughts on getting in shape.
For the longest time I though I was being a bad wife and mom if I took time for myself, an hour a day, and worked out. I felt guilty about it. See I am funny. I like to do it on my own, not in front of a bunch of people. I dont mind the gem, because everyone is focused on THEIR work out, not me. Well, the more I though about it, prayed and studied, I discovered I was being a bad wife and mother if I DIDN'T take the time. You see, I am called to be a helper to my husband and to raise and teach my children. I am also told my body is a temple. How can I be those things, and take care of the body God gave me, if I let my self get SO out of shape??? In a world were we are the fattest nation, I needed to do something (!) or I would just be another one of the crowed. Not something I want, not something God wants. So I started to DO. I take about an hour every evening and work out. Either walking, pilates, or both. I joined Weight Watchers and started making sure I am eating good, wholesome, foods. As close to the way God made then as possible. We got a membership to the local Wellness center, where they have a huge pool, hot tub, kiddy pool and other equipment to help me achieve my goal.
Here this weeks loss.
Week: 3 lbs
1 inch off waist and 2 off arms.
4 week total: 19 lbs.
