Daily Check-in
Good morning! Glory! I love March! Hope is on the horizon, and this glorious month arrives with the promise of sunshine, resurrection power, and new life. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, and this season fills me with love, joy, and peace. I am waiting with hopeful expectation for the time change, the arrival of spring, and the beauty of bluebonnets blanketing the Texas landscape.
My body is still suffering from a food allergy crisis, and my weight is still holding steady at 230 pounds. But God is my Healer and Deliverer. I am believing Him to transform me from the inside out and set me free from this fat cocoon as I eat and drink for His glory to bless my body and exercise as an act of worship. After months of struggling in my own strength, I am giving up the fight and surrendering control to Him again. I woke up this morning with a renewed spirit, a revived heart, and an attitude of faith. It is time for a new journal because the focus of my old journal does not fit anymore. I am not what I weigh, and a number on the scale is not my motivation. A healthy and balanced lifestyle filled with laughter and fun is my goal. I flipped my Cathe calendar, recorded my weight and measurements, and packed my scale in the closet until the first of April. After months of striving and trying to plan and execute the perfect fitness and nutrition game plan, I am resting, trusting, and rediscovering the beauty of sweet simplicity and the joyful freedom of living one day at a time. It is time to start having fun again, enjoying the journey, living clean, and reclaiming my health. I am ready to kick some butt with Cathe this morning and have a blast doing the happy dance! I am free!
The prodigal check-in daughter is coming home. I fell off the check-in wagon before the Road Trip last year. I have been keeping up with a weekly check-in so far this year, and I am hopefully ready for a daily check-in again. I gracefully bowed out of the 12-week challenge as I am simply not challenge material. LOL! The carefree style of this group is a better “fit” for me.
Jane, have fun hiking.
Becky, enjoy your pancakes.
Conni, have fun with Cathe’s March rotation! I received the slanted risers from Cathe yesterday. I will finally get to try a Rob Glick workout. Have you tried Christi’s new dance workout? I need some light and fun workouts this month while I recover from my food allergy crisis. You can read my “Talk Me Down From the Cliff” thread in Open Discussion for details. My protein intake is limited this month, so heavy weight training is on hold. As much as I will miss the 4-Day Split, I am ready to play and have fun for a month! :7
Blessings,
Heather B.
