Weekly Weigh-In

Physical Weigh-In

Week #1: -1.0 pounds
Total Pounds Lost: -4.0 pounds

First week of Weight Watchers did not go well. It may have had something to do with the fact that I used every single possible point I could throughout the week and did not try as hard as I could have. The ladies at the meeting today were very encouraging. The meeting place this time around is up the street at a local senior center. Let me tell you, these ladies are hilarious! I will sit and lose weight with them any day of the week!

Losing weight, becoming a healthy eater and creating healthy habits are a constant topic for discussion on my blog... but I cannot give up. I have to keep trying and keep learning and keep fighting for my health. I have too many people that are now only memories in my family line to be lazy about how I treat my body.

Spiritual Weigh-In

Today starts Week #10 in the Proverbs 31 study that I have been doing with my sister. It has been very challenging, very rewarding and very disheartening all at the same time.

I am not of the opinion that the Proverbs 31 woman is who I am supposed to be all of the time. I believe that these were wise words spoken from a mother to her son out of love and out of desire for him to have the best possible wife he could. They are words of wisdom that give us a guideline for how to better our homes, our families, our walk with God and ourselves.

Nonetheless, it is a challenge to daily reach for the goal of living life in a way that is above reproach and in a way that my husband could be proud of. Most importantly, it is the picture of how my relationship with God should become. After all, He is the king. My ultimate job should be to focus all of my energy on serving Him... which in turn leads to how I serve my family.

Lots of great perspective and time in the Word. Just the food I need on a daily basis to keep me moving closer to Him and closer to those that I love.
