New Obsession...

First I want to make very clear that I know and believe that whats on the inside matters much more than the outside appearance!!! 1 Timothy 4:8 says "For bodily exercise profits a little, bot godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come."
But for right this moment, this post, I want to focus on bodily exercise. You see that it does profit (only a little in comparison to godliness). But nonetheless it does profit something, right?
Ok I don't know if obsession is the right word for what I am going through right now but I will say that I am exercising my brains out and trying to eat very very well in order to 1. Look Good and 2. Be healthy (in that order). Anyone who says there doing it in a different order I believe to be just flat out liars. For like 2 or 3 months now I have been trying to loose at least 20 pounds but I would rather loose 30. In the last few years I have gotten very fat, yes fat! At the club a while back they did all these little tests and told me I was in the RED ZONE. I was like what! My gosh I cant imagine what color some other folks are in. Nonetheless i knew I needed to do something before people started staring at me while eating a big mac at MC. But before I did anything I gained another 7 pounds! Im going to tell you, I was at 147. I am 5'1" so as you can imagine short and squaty seemed good descriptive words for me. ENOUGH I said! So I started exercising and such and I feel a lot better but I recently stepped on the scale and was very disappointed (I told you that would happen Jasmine) I had only lost about 10 pounds, it may sound good but after all that hard work and the depriving myself of dessert after lunch and dinner every day, I at least thought 15 or 20 pounds had come off. Regardless I feel thinner, I am able to wear old shirts that no longer show a tire ring or hefty love handles. I can even wear some old pants that I have not worn for a while:) But still I have done a lot of power pacing(stationary bike class) and there have been days that it hurts to sit (very little seat, if you know what I mean). Ughhhhhh its so frustrating, oh yeah and I replace meals with fiber shakes ALL the time. I do step classes 2 times a week, power pacing 2 or 3 times a week and Butts and Gutts one time a week. I jump on a mini trampoline and do Bun and thigh pilates. I replace 2 meals a day with fiber shakes and sometimes I even eat fiber cereal for dinner (don't have time before working out). I take a fat burner and to many vitamins to list. And yes I drink water all day! Now how does 10 stinkin pounds sound? Scripture once again always proves right! It profited little. Just so everybody knows I will keep going and I wont give up, but I am going to focus less on myself and more on God and His Word which will profit much greater and will last forever.
