A Weight Loss Journey - Take #378

 So over and over I try to loose weight - I told my dear daughter-in-law, Lauren that I have lost 1000 pounds, 5 pounds lost, 5 pounds gained over and over again.  So now, on the eve of my 65th birthday I wanted to know why.

I was listening to a weight loss podcast this morning, that was Bible based and the Preacher said something I can't forget - find your WHY?  And he was saying, you might have tried weight loss for an event, for someone else, your family, your friends but until you find the real why, you will not succeed, and that you cannot succeed without God.  Because it is with God, the creator of our bodies, we will learn how to take care of them.  So I have embarked on a spiritual journey and maybe, just maybe I will find my why.  

Now, I invite also, my daughter-in-law, Lauren, to join me here in this blog, I am going to give her access hopefully, to this blog, and she may write whatever she wants or feels on this journey.  If she wishes.  Lauren is spiritual, although not as Biblical as me, I still value her input, because it will be different from mine.  We all can't be Sunday School Teachers.

Today's Lesson: Acts 24:25  As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come. Felix was afraid and said, that's enough......

The whole verse is a great read, I never even knew there was a Felix in the Bible and Felix is a ruler, and the people who did not like Paul's teaching in the temple, brought him to Felix to be punished (much like Jesus's story).  However, Felix wanted Paul to bribe him to release him.  But Paul, being Paul, did not do that.

What was Felix afraid of .... CHANGE.  

So I will say it, I am afraid.  I am afraid of failure, afraid of change, afraid that I will not succeed and this fear stops me from trying.

HOW do I get over that?  And if I change, will I loose me?

Will I find my  why?

Namaste and
God Bless

<a href="https://www.tomoson.com?code=TOPc5f3218b923f01ae4a0beca8055100f1" rel="nofollow" style="display: none;"></a> So, a couple of months ago I ended up in the hospital because they thought I might of had a mini-stroke.  I had a bad headache and while the doctor was checking me over they found some weakness on my right side - my hand and arm weren't as strong as they should of been. Well, all turned out ok, I didn't have a mini-stroke, of course, they found something else, which I am not to crazy about. So - the other week I see an offer for this hand strengthener.  I thought why not try it.  So I ordered it on Amazon.

OUT OF CONTROL

 Help, I have eaten and I cannot stop.  Well, sort of.  Stepped on the scale this morning and holy gain weight batman.  My Birthday Celebration of much food and cake finally caught up with me.  IT is now September 1 so I need to shake off the cake - however, I just ate a piece of candy (ouch).   So where did I go wrong - I turned 68, LOL - I celebrate the whole month and I did not cook 1 meal last weekend and basically ate leftovers all week - not healthy. Not healthy at all. So back on the protein bus - eat my veggies - be mindful, It is easy? No it is not.  I wish there was a way to eat cake and loose weight.  If I come across it I will let you know.   Yoga is helping my joints so much - also I have added some herbal supplements that are suppose to help arthritis - I will share those with you all on the weekend. I notice when I walk that I walk like an old lady - bent over and wabble - this needs to stop! In the meantime, have a r...
