I would love it if you followed me on my weightloss Journey-If you would like to please go to 
Created for Him and click follow to be part of my support to help me through my journey. My plan is to take 18 months to loose my weight-my goal is to get down to 140 lbs..Each day is a small journey but, with the love, support and encouragement from my family and friends, I hope to accomplish this~I need to be happy & healthy for me and for my family!

 

My Journey to Eating Right and Exercising...

One thing that really started getting me on the right track is the Holy Spirit speaking to me about being a Temple of the Holy Spirit, well I know by the road I was on, I was not glorifying the Lord in any way..
This verse is one the one that spoke to me before I began my journey, I pray it brings encouragement to you as well.

My body is the temple (the very sanctuary)of the Holy Spirit  Who lives within me, Whom I have received [as a Gift] from God. I am not my own, I was bought with a price[purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit, God does instruct us and lays out for us that we must take care of it. 

When I began my journey in October, I weighed 262, I really needed to do something, I have some ailments low back problems, high blood pressure and asthma, I am praying after I loose some of this weight that a few of those ailments will go away, so  I joined a gym and I have been doing weight training and Cardio (treadmill) 3 x's a week, even if your not able to join a gym, there are plenty of exercises you can do at home~even beginning a little helps~I now weigh 244 and I have lost atleast 12 inches around my waist since then.

I know that the Lord can give each of us strength as we trust in Him in this area of our lives.

 I prosper in every way and [my body] keeps well, even as my soul keeps well and prospers. 3 John 2

New Beginnings

In October I began a new journey, I joined a gym, It's a 16 week program but, it has really been helping me a lot..Starting monday I will be on my 5th week, I go to the gym 3 days a week and then on the two days i don't go, i use my wii active to exercise, last week my board broke though so that was a bummer. Here are my beginning pictures, I have a long ways to go but, I am going to take it slow so i can keep the weight off.
I hope you will follow me in my journey and I hope that in some way  I can be an encouragement to others.


Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

I am the temple of the Holy Spirit; I am not my own (1 Corinthians 6:19).

 

Wii Active Workout

I did it! I started my exercise routine today with the will active and I did 16 exercises and worked out for 27 minutes~I am just beginning so I know ~each day will get better.

My Weightloss Journey

Philippians 4:13 says I can do everything through him who gives me strength (NIV)
So, through Christ this is possible..
