Fail to Plan - Plan to Fail

Your Body, His Temple is really off the ground. WOW! What a great response we have enjoyed. I am excited. This healthcare initiative is one of the greatest challenges of my life. It's time for change. All of us seem to know it as a family and individually. We know that there's more to us and to our ministry than what we have experienced. I want to cooperate with Our Father... even when I fail to do so.

We want to grow beyond where we are now. Well, not my waistline, PLEASE ...or any other part of my natural body, just in case I need to be specific! I have great anticipation and expectation about the future. Wondering what tomorrow will bring. Wondering if I really have what it takes to obey... to follow through this time without giving up or making excuses for why the plan is not working... why I'm not working the plan. Ouch!

When I fail to plan properly for the way I will eat... like today and end up eating  McDonald's oatmeal, two servings of chips (18), cheesy potato vegetable soup, veggie pizza, ginger ale and grape juice in one day; it is obvious that I planned to fail. Unplanned eating got the best of me. 

Apologies if that messes with your image of my resolve. I'm not giving up though. I did measure amounts... ate before 7PM and will make sure I do some additional exercises but I really hate having to lose a few of the same pounds that it took me so long to get rid of!

This time I know what happened; my schedule was interrupted. I did not have time to buy the groceries needed for the change in plans this weekend. The thing is, my schedule can get thrown off at any point. I have to figure a way to get good foods when I'm on unfamiliar territory. Guess I needed my Champion huh? The kicker is, the food eaten did not even satisfy my appetite! My body is still hungry for its normal fruits, veggies and protein shakes.

I'm not sure what is challenging you right now... what questions you may have about jumping on and staying on the bandwagon for a healthier you. Just be encouraged to stay in the race. In at least a couple of places specifically and as a thread throughout the Bible, we are told; "the just shall live by their faith." Know that the race is not given to the swift or the strong but to the one who endures to the end. If you are like me and took a dive off your plan, join me and let's get back on it again. 

In the old days, my mama would say, "You pray for me and I'll pray for you; that is the way God's children do!" WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT! WE WILL REACH OUR GOALS!
