For the last three years I have been on a weight loss journey. I've had the opportunity to share this journey with many people. Along the way I have learned from others and at times I've been able to share my experiences too. This last year I've worked with over 100 different people concerning Health and Nutrition. I've offered what worked for me and I've been able to pass on what has worked for others as well. This journey is a little different for everyone. Some need a kick in the pants while others need more encouragement. Kirsten and I do our best to give each person we work with, what they need. One fact remains the sa
me. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
Kirsten and I used to include a Fitness time in our Christ First classes every other week. We ask our participants to workout 3-6 times per week so we stopped working out in our Christ First class time and we added the workouts after the classes every week. We have workouts on Monday and Wednesday from 6-7pm each week. For the most part our Christ First weight loss participants don't attend these free workouts. We have great attendance but not exactly what we had hoped for. We are totally happy some of our Christ First members do enjoy the fitness classes and you know who you are. Those of you who don't ,but desperately need to, just stand there at the waters edge looking at there reflection.
DRINK THE WATER! We created these workouts for you. To help you restore your bodies to Gods perfection. Show up and move. I see your Nutrition & Fitness journals and the absence of exercise is frustrating me. Our groups have been talking about running/walking a 5k together and I want you to be with us. You can do it. Stop making excuses and get to work. We all mess up and eat poorly and are lazy from time to time. I'm not losing the way I once did and I'm to blame for it. No one can make me do what I need to do. I (you) need to decide to do it. When we decide to change and we begin to "Expect a Miracle" from God, That's when God steps in and rewards our faith. We begin to change from the inside out and our lives will be forever transformed. God will be able to use us to share His love with others. How can we do that if we don't love who we are? Drink the water, do the work and join me on a journey of restoration.
