The birth of Faith, Food and Fitness For Real

It's ok, how much damage could I have done? Seriously can it really be that bad? I stood there on the scale and watched the numbers blink. I felt like I was taking part of a weigh in on the "biggest loser" the few seconds it took to calculate my weight seemed like 20 min.

I found myself saying.. "no whammy, no whammy... stop" you remember that old game show back in the day. Then the numbers stop and It was almost like I heard the voice of God, only he had a Ricky Reicardo accent saying " you have some explaining to do." I stood there only in my underwear (come on like you don't take EVERYTHING off to weigh yourself) disappointed. I was disappointed and I did have some explaining to do.

I guess I was disappointed because I found myself at the same place once again? Why is that? Then I realized that a true change without balance will never become a true lifestyle change. It will only be a diet, or only be a great workout for a few months and it will only be superficial faith. Then came the birth of this blog "Faith, Food and Fitness For Real."

Im tired and I don't need a resolution that I can break, I need a revivalution! Something that will last, something that will become a part of me that comes as easy as breathing. I have a desire this year, it is to really step out of my comfort zone and do something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I want to run a marathon, I want to run for women's cancer. More importantly I want to run the race that the Lord has set before me with endurance.

I will need to train my body and discipline it like the athlete the bible talks about. Did you know that the bible talks so much about being an athlete. Why because it takes dedication, hard work and faith. This year I want to pursue the title of "Athlete". I don't want to settle on being just a good eater, or physically fit or emotionally or mentally healthy. No I want more, I want to be an athlete running the race for the Lord.

I am not sure what you can expect from my blogs. I am sure that there will be peaks and valleys. I cant promise that I will blog everyday or week or month.. I can however promise you that I will be real and share the realities of a everyday life of a mom and wife pursing that prize. " I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." - Phil 3:14

I pray that you don't read my blog strictly because you are bored or have nothing better to do. I pray that you read it so that you will find encouragement. I pray that you also take a journey with me as I find the perfect peace in the balance of Faith, Food and Fitness. I pray that you will also pray for me and keep me accountable. I know once this post, I have not only the eyes of the Lord on me, but yours as well and I do not want to disappoint either.

So you ready? Lets Do this!!!! " I can do all things through Christ" Phil 4:13
