Thes 5:16

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I heard this on The Amazing Race tonight and had to share. It's a beautiful saying and I'll try hard to remember it.

'be glad, pray and give thanks!'

First Post

Hello Blogger World , This is my first time blogging. Bare with me. I was never one to keep a diary as a kid. I never saw a reason to write my thoughts down. And besides, who will be reading my blog? I'm not famous or know how to get my blog out to the masses. Do I care if anyone reads what I have to say? I don't really, but hope so. As encouragement. I've created this blog to track my weight loss journey. I thought that maybe if I had someone to report to (you strangers out there that I don't even know if you're reading my blog), it'd make this journey easier, better. Exercising and eating healthy are not new to me. I've tried many times before, many different ways. With coworkers, with a buddy, with my mom, by myself. Maybe a few pounds lost here and there.

Two weeks in...

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.
