After NINE full weeks of being very health responsible I had still not lost a single, solitary pound. My doctor feels that I am doing all I can and is confused... my dear friend, who is a personal trainer, also does not know what I should do.
So, I threw myself a pity party. I ate whatever I wanted (although, I was still pretty good b/c what I want to eat has changed a lot!) and I did not excercise all week.
But this week I am back to being a good steward of my body. (Although, I DO plan to have desert tonight since my husband and I are going out for Valentine's Day!)
I am trying to remind myself, though, that my supplements, foods, excercising, water-drinking habits are not my God.
They are good choices and we SHOULD be good stewards of our bodies, but my health and well-being ultimately belong to God... body, mind and spirit!
I keep picturing the woman with the issue of blood for 18 years. She had spent her life savings on doctors, but her healing came from Jesus, when she IN FAITH, reached for the hem of His garment.
So, I have been reaching for that hem. I feel like I am groping around in the dark feeling for that hem. I drink my water, eat correct portions, choose whole grains, eliminate preservatives, sugar and other "no-nos". I have been back to excercising diligently (about 30 minutes minimum, 6 days a week and when I use the elliptical bike it says I am burning about an average of 500 calories a day!!!). I am off my supplements though, because my doctor feels it is possible that they are masking a bigger problem. So this is the end of week two with NO supplements! YIKES! She says I can have new blood drawn in 2-4 more weeks.
This is also Jordan's first week back to homeschooling and so far it is going very well. I am actually amazed at how much less stressful it is having him back home!!!
So, that is my update. I hope to write something more interesting tomorrow! I am waiting for the inspiration fairy to leave an idea under my pillow! :)
