Ok so I decide that I need totally real, and I decide to do it here. I am at a place where the end goal is a lot closer than it was before. But I am also at a place where it is easy to just coast on my current knowledge, not learn more, not push harder and just maintain b/c I feel so much better. But let's stop and think about where I am, I have about 30 more pounds to lose and it actually seems to be the place where most people start weight watchers. Yet I seem to be ok with just coasting, if i feel good now can you imagine how good my body will feel when I get to goal?
Why stop for only partial goodness?
I think that question has some huge spiritual implications too. Why do we stop seeking Christ when we first start to see His goodness? Why do we settle for the preview and not watch the movie? Why do we endure the challenge ahead and not collect the prize? Why do we push really hard to just coast and never get over that final hill?
So here and now I'm going to attempt to get over that final hill, I'm going to continue the journey to collect the prize. You say how am I going to do it? Well I'm going to do it by publicly tracking my week, I would like to say it will happen daily but with my crazy life I don't get to a computer daily so weekly is a promise.
I'm going to track my wins, loses, ups, downs and all the in between.
So here you go.
5-19-11
Weight: 196

Sun: None
Mon: None
Tues: 15 Miles Spin

Food This week-
Loses: Fudge came into my house I ate too much, I have also been craving Peanut Butter. And I ate too many tortilla chips yesterday.
Wins: I have been doing well on my H2O, and getting a good protein filled Breakfast.
Spiritual-
Wins: I have had some solid days in the word and in worship.
Loses: I have not turned to God with my cravings and I need to.
So there you go read if you want or not, but I want to challenge you to get honest too. It might not be with food and exercise. But it could be with something else, maybe goals, lifeplan, time in the word, or organization. Just find what it is and push yourself.
"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:4
