A very dear friend of mine has been doing the Whole 30 program for a few months and she has seen incredible results from all of her discipline and hard work. She feels so great and her results lit a fire under me to stick to something...so here we go!
It's no secret that I battle with food and (lack of) exercise. I make food more of a priority than working out and let it rule a lot of what I do. Ultimately, it is an idol and that's got to stop here. I love getting comments on my hair and make up and the cute outfits and jewelry I wear but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the way I felt when I had lost weight back in 2009. I want to do this for me. To honor God with the body He's given me and to make those changes to make the most out of life. I don't know about you but I certainly don't want to be limited because of how I feel physically or because I'm too big. I'm not saying bigger people should be treated differently but I do think that there are too many campaigns out there that are embracing an unhealthy lifestyle when it comes down to it. I don't want to settle for being a lesser version of myself because of my size or how I feel...I want to make the most of each opportunity given and refuse to be limited in the process. The choice is mine on how to move forward and resist the things that tempt me or that are convenient. The longing is to rid my life of the idols that take precedence over God and that I've allowed to lead me more than Him.
So here's to starting (again) and doing things right. Throughout the process I will be sharing thoughts, feelings and probably rants because I miss the occasional cupcake and glass(es) of wine. Let's do the Whole 30 At Thirty!
Have a nice day!
