Week #27

Well, I gained another 0.8 lbs this week! I was shocked when they told me I was up this week because I had done really well... I thought!!! Of course, I did add a Tae Bo workout to my exercise program this week and every time I do more than my 3 mile walk, I gain. Who knows???

I have to admit that I was really disappointed this morning! That's one reason I waited until tonight to add this entry. I was upset earlier and I know if I would've posted this morning before I had time to take it to the Lord, this post would be totally different and would be a little (ok, maybe a lot) on the negative side!!!

It is so frustrating when you do everything you know to do and things don't work out like you thought they would! That seems to be the story of my life right now, but over the course of today, I've decided that I'm not going to let it get me down!!!

I know that I have two options -

1.) I can quit now, gain it all back and eventually gain even more.

OR

2.) I can NOT dwell on what the scales said this morning and instead focus on my long term goal. I can dwell on this time next year and know that if I keep on keeping on, I will achieve my goal and what took place this morning will be either a distant memory or something I won't even remember anymore.

So, I have decided NOT to be discouraged and try even harder this week. I don't care if I do gain more because I know that this journey is in God's hands and if I continue to be obedient, seek after Him and rely on His strength instead of my own, as soon as I've learned and experienced everything He wants me to, then I will achieve this goal!

I know that it's going to take awhile and it may be even harder at times, but I know who is in control and I know that His timing is perfect!!! :-)
