At the beginning of this Blog I mentioned that I have a tendency to give up on things. My mom used to tell me that I had no "stick-to-it-iveness". She was (and is) right. My mom is always right. I am at the place now that people who have known me a long time might think that I have given up. I haven't blogged in a while, and I haven't lost weight in a while. As a matter of fact, I have gained back some of what I lost. I haven't stuck to my good eating habits, and I haven't included very much activity in my life. (See, my mom is right).
The one thing that I have done consistently is go to a workout group called "One620". You can look up 1 Corinthians 6:20 for meaning in the name. This is an incredible group of ladies, and I am incredibly blessed to have been included in this group. The leader is an incredible woman who is always very encouraging.
Tonight she started a lesson on nutrition. Some of the things she shared were very eye opening. I have so much to think through and process. It was also a great reminder of some things that I already knew and had forgotten about. It was like a great wake up call. Tonight was the first night since before Christmas that I came away actually feeling excited about tomorrow and doing things better for my health.
So, while my mother is ALWAYS right, in this instance I am still trying to prove her wrong. I am determined to stick with this and see it through to better health.

Philippians 4:13
Lately I have been feeling a little defeated. Workouts have been sporadic, eating habits have been horrible, and life has been just crazy. I did, however, continue to going to the workout group that I started in November. I was originally concerned, but the leadership has been good, and God has been Great.
Our workout group was only meeting 2-3 times a month. That recently changed to meeting every Monday evening. Tonight's meeting was especially helpful to me. The leader brought "conversation hearts" for us. They were just paper, each with a negative human thought with God's positive response, and a verse on the back. As we read them, each one was more encouraging than the last, but there was one that stuck out to me. It was a reminder that I don't have to do anything under my own power. It is Christ who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
