Celebrating ME!
Ps...I have learned that it's perfectly OK to celebrate ME!
Did my monthly Weight Loss Photos today. I have been doing them monthly since Feb...same shorts and sports bra. It's amazing how you can see the difference when doing this.
4 months...35 lbs...27 inches (5 in my waist, 4.5 in my hips, 5 in my chest, 1 in my neck, and the rest in my arms & legs).
God is AWESOME! Without HIS help, HIS strength...I could not do this!

Peace
Day 23: Bold in the Soul ~ Revelation Wellness - Healthy & Whole
PEACE ~
freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility; calm
Another great workout today! I can feel myself changing inside and out. I looked at myself in the full length mirror...only my leggings and sports bra. I really looked. Yes, I still have quite a bit of weight left to be where I want to be healthy-wise. But as I looked at myself, I smiled. Just looking at myself this way is new. Before I started my journey, I HATED looking at my body. Now, I see so much difference. Not just physically, either. I've lost 35 lbs and many inches...and I am proud of that. But the biggest change has been INSIDE! I have a PEACE with myself that I haven't had in a long time. I love me for me! I am still working on me...inside and out...but I have finally learned that weight loss isn't just about physical weight loss. You have to lose a lot of emotional & spiritual weight, as well. It's funny, actually. Every time I start to post this type of photo of myself...satan gets scared. He tries to stop me by putting doubts in my mind. Making feel like I will be judged, looked down on, and made fun of. What's so awesome to me, now, is that I don't care. My "flesh" may try to overtake my Spirit...but God has already won! Just looking at myself today, I realized there is a whole lot more "weight" gone than 35 lbs. There's a lifetime of junk that is being laid at the foot of the cross. Thank you, Jesus, for having patience with me and showing me the way!
PS...There is no magic pill, shot, or potion. It takes lots of dedication and hard work. Eat healthy and as clean as possible and exercise any way that you can. PRAYER ~ The #1 key!

Joy
Day 22: Bold in the Soul ~ Revelation Wellness - Healthy & Whole
JOY ~
a feeling of great pleasure and happiness
A few years back, I had lost my joy. Actually, I had let it get stolen by satan. It took me a few years to get out of that "hole" but I did. I refuse to let it get taken away again! Sure, I have my moments...yes, I still get my feelings hurt. But my joy is still there! I look around me at my life, my family, my friends, my church...all the beauty that God has created. Good or bad times...I am full of JOY! <3 The joy of the Lord is my strength! He makes it all worth while! He makes life beautiful in so many ways...we just have to take a moment and look around and see it!
Nehemiah 8:10 ...For the joy of the Lord is your strength
Romans 5:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 126:2-3 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
