Starting Over, Again

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

This is going to be an important verse for me for this next stage of my life. It is one I will have to look at daily, maybe several times a day. I am now trying to be more healthy, and to lose weight, the old fashion way. Exercise and eating healthy. It couldn't be more simple nor more difficult. This is going to be a weekly, daily and hourly struggle for me. To eat the things I should and to not eat the things I shouldn't. To wake up early 3 days a week for my work out class and to have the courage to walk in knowing I'm probably the one that's the most out of shape. To continue living healthy after the month-long class is over and to not get discouraged and give up when I don't see the results I feel I need.

I'm writing this blog for several reasons.  

1. To record my thoughts so I can look back at them and see my progress (and the setbacks)

2. To share the real struggles of beginning a healthy living - the emotional and physical struggles

3. To have some form of accountability - even if no one ever reads this, there is still a chance that someone could and that is enough for me to think twice

4. To have a light-hearted blog about the process - sometimes we just need to laugh at our struggles. Life can get too serious if we're not careful

I plan to write at least once a week to share what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and the funny and … interesting things that happen while trying to start a new life.
