Finding It Hard To Take The Time

This week was not the best for my exercise regimen.  I know I've got to get better with just making the time to exercise.  Those 5:00 a.m. pushes have kinda of played out for me for now.  But as I write this to myself, it is motivating me to continue.  Sometimes the best remedy to any problem is to actually write it down and stare the problem dead in the eyes!  When you do that you truly see the issue or problem and act on it or just sit and let it consume you.  Hey, I'm not letting this consume me, so with that, I think I will get up and do my exercises right now and quit complaining.

***SUNDAY REJUVENATION - CHECK YOURSELF!!***

In keeping with the Sunday theme, which is the Lord's Day, I must give God the Praise and say," Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strength,".  Sometimes we are our own enemy!  I know I am my own enemy when I don't control myself.  Yeah, I know I look like I've got it all together but sometimes, what I would rather do, (which is the right thing), I don't do it!  You may say what does this have to do with loosing weight?  For me it has a great deal to do with loosing weight...and it is called self control or temperance.  The control we need comes from with in and from up above!  No other person can make us have self-control.   Control, (not to over eat or smoke when you know you are trying to quit, or any goal, for that matter, that one may set), is interrupted by what you want, instead of you need.  Yes, I wanted another plate of food today, but did I really need it?  Absolutely Not!!  Thanks be to God, that I did not indulge in that error today.

But there are days when I listen to the alter ego and indulge in that second plate knowing full well that I don't need it.  I wish there were some type of automatic mechanism that helps you turn off the want factor and stops one from indulging in the desires you know are not edifying for you.

In my case, there is one that can truly initiate that type of mechanism for me...my beloved husband.  When he says", (looking with disgust), You are eating another plate?", I truly can turn off the want factor really quickWhen I hear those words from him, it makes me feel so, so indecent!  I compare the feeling I get when he says those words, to the time I was dressed up from head to toe at a restaurant.  I went to the ladies room only to come back with my skirt unzipped in the back!!   When an unknown man says, you have on RED underwear??  I felt like I was tarred and feather in a public square, as I turn around and he's pointing to my backside and exclaims, your zipper is unzipped.  I thought someone kill me now!...put me out of my misery!...I was so humiliated!  Actually, humiliated is an under statement.  Someone literally had to tell me that my zipper was open in the back?  You would think I would have known that tit bit of information, when I felt a little more breeze on my backside, I should have checked myself then!!  And now, when it comes to that second plate, I need to say No to that urge, not because my husband bullied me to trigger that cutoff mechanism.  I need to use the senses God gave me!   And, check myself and not indulge in that seconf plate for the improvement of myself for me!

Don't Let Them See You Sweat

One large block weight to those of us who are trying to lose weight is STRESS!  Yes stress can make you or break you if you let it.  But I vow to move above or around the stress and continue my goal.  I keep on thinking to myself.  Yes, I Can Do It!
