Gasparilla 5k....check, Working out with Corey..aka Sargent musclehead....check, Treadmilling like a man on a mission(42 flights of stairs)...check.
Soreness in legs...check,shoulders...check,hair...thin.. but check.
I thought all this exercice was supposed to make me feel good! I haven’t been this sore since Mcdonalds quit serving shamrock shakes! Oh well… all for the common good I guess. This week has been a little discouraging since I weighed myself on monday and realized that I did not lose a single ounce. It’s all good though, I’m still following plan and exercising even more. I’m determined to make it to the top of the bank of tampa via steps on saturday.
It’s all about what I like to call micro-goals. Two more minutes on the bike, One less bite of food here, one more rep there. When it’s all said and done, it will accumulate to meeting one very large goal. The one that has evaded me for so many years. The one that I hope you the reader has given another chance. Whether it be weight loss, quitting smoking or whatever it is, there is no obstacle to big, no mountain too great, and no sea to deep that You and God can’t defeat. GET MOVING!!!!
I pray that you find motivation to face your fears and beat them. Matt 9:28-29. Read it! Blessings to you all...In Christ.....Marty G.

Send Discouragement packing in the Name of Jesus.
When was the last time you did ONE of the things you’ve tackled in these past weeks.
Hmmmm?
You’re doing HOW MANY new things regularly?!
OF COURSE you were gong to lose real quick at the start.
Consistency is key. A little bit daily is far better than a lot in spurts.
You won’t keep up this breakneck speed forever. This is to get you started. To jolt your body awake and say, “Okay - I’M back in charge now and this is how it’s gonna be.” As you do all these things, you will develop your own rhythm - find a fit that will become YOUR new lifestyle.
Memorize Psalm 139. Ask God to reveal Himself to you through it.

Dear Slim,
That’s right, Slim(mer). Now is not the time to think that you are behind in seeing a lose. There will come a time where you might even gain 1 or 2 pounds. Still not the time to freakout.
Have faith in yourself and continue to think positive. You are doing great!
