I was just talki...Thank you so much for this post!! I was just talking to a friend the other day, and I was only thin for a short amount of time right around my wedding, so large is the only size I really know. (Well extra large if I'm being honest) It's so hard to imagine myself being at a healthier weight! But I love finding new scripture to help me along my journey!! Thank you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509645691703037771.post-17540553848795455402010-08-25T13:19:20.565-07:002010-08-25T13:19:20.565-07:00I'm taking the weight from S&B as my start...I'm taking the weight from S&B as my start weight because I have no clue what I was to actually "begin" with, so thus far 2.6 pounds...hoping to see it drop again Next Thursday. My new running goal is to run for a minute...regardless of the distance...I've tried it twice so far, the first time, I went 53.5 seconds (I had to turn around half way because Bailey dropped my keys)...the second time, i hit the wrong button and it shut my stopwatch off before I could see how long I ran. I usually hit start and then run until I can't run anymore. I haven't walked since Saturday because of various things (being out late and having unexpected plans and what not, so hoping to get back at it tomorrow) So anyway, that's where I stand at the moment. :)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937962993057957140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509645691703037771.post-17009061830234248212010-08-25T12:08:58.515-07:002010-08-25T12:08:58.515-07:00Jocelyn, What a great post!! That verse is awesome...Jocelyn, What a great post!! That verse is awesome! You know how sometimes you know you've read verses but they haven't actually jumped out at you? Well that one did to me today. And you are so right!! So many thoughts, <br />1. Since we have had kids, our bodies will never be the same as they were at our thinnest. But I believe that pregnancies do make our bodies more beautiful. We have more of an hour glass from our hips sticking out more, we have marks that show our love and devotion to our children from bearing them for 9 months. <br />2. Don't worry about your wardrobe.. God will provide! I just read about this yesterday in Giving Christ First Place, "Take no fret for the marrow saying, what shall we eat, or waht shall we drink, or where with shall we be clothed.." Matt (from memory so hope that's right..lol) <br />3. for a while I was saving every penny I could get my hands on and putting it into an envelope I titled, "Goal weight money" and I got a good amount.. but then we used it on something.. lol. Thank you for encouraging me that God will provide for the rest of my triathlon money. :) <br />PS do you know how much you've lost so far?? and you have met running goals!! Yay! Is your start weight the first S&B meeting or before that? Let me know. =)Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441942584802356510noreply@blogger.com
