~~A day or shall I say "STEP" in my life~~

I'm back to stepping up in my healthy "me" journey... I'm calling them steps as I have a long way to go and if I look at the LENGTH of what I need to do, it can be discouraging.. SO I'm taking steps...

 First step :

I can check that one off--My first step was to get that first weight loss in.. Lost six pounds the first week back on this journey. I guess this would be a good place to tell you what plans I'm use to direct my steps. I'm doing Weight Watchers and using the Nutribullet System. 

(Nutribullet's official website -- Check them out)

 

 

In the past few weeks I have lost just under 10 pounds, It's a journey that is filled with changes and preparations. Changes in what to eat and what not to eat--Thankfully Weight Watchers allows you to eat a variety of food. Preparations involves planning what to buy and how to cook it. I've made my first pesto this week with fresh basil.. and have made numerous concoctions in my Nutribullet..

 

Cannot wait to make my next step on this journey to better health!!! As that old Sunday school song goes "One step at a time, only one step at a time that is the way the Lord will lead you.. " With God's help  I'm going to do this and I know

 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13)

 

 

 



Dare I write this post....

Tending to be a very private person, I do not share a lot of personal struggles with very many people. Other than my Lord and Saviour. (He knows my struggles better than I) I am feeling that I can share this with my blogging family as I know those who read it are of an encouraging spirit and supportive. So what is this thing I was afraid to post.......

I've joined weight watchers well actually been there for a few weeks. Only complaint so far is the cost. I have lost 13 lbs and am excited to be on the road to better health.  Strange as it may sound, my main reason for joining is cause it felt like this was the
"one " thing I could have a positive impact in my life. There has been alot of instability and stress this past year and even more so these past few months. To be honest I can not do alot about most of it, other than pray about it. BUT..... getting healthy that I can work on.

So I am still struggling with thyroid problems and tend to have no energy most the time, but am believing that the weight loss has got to help that too...   Phew.... I've done it!! I have shared my secret with all my blogging friends and I'm glad. I will try and keep my progress up to date on here. (when my computer allows--tends to knock me off blogspot for some reason).

To close I am reminded of the verse that says " I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME" Let it be so Lord, not just for me but for anyone who is struggling in their life.
