I have had a great week following my plan. I have exercised and eaten well. I usually weigh in Monday and Thursday morning. Thursday is my official weigh in day, monday is my am I on track weigh in day. Well this past Monday I stepped on the scale and I was up a pound! This would have destroyed me a few weeks ago. I would have been so upset and would have cut way back on what I was eating for the next few days. But this time I could get off that scale knowing I did exactly what I was to do and I had so much peace in that. Turns out I was retaining water and am now down. It is amazing knowing that I don't need to find my worth in that number but I can find joy in knowing that I'm following my plan and obeying God.
I love this and I love being reminded that we are not defined by numbers! Woot! Great post and thanks for sharing:-)

ReplyDeleteAwesome job! This is exactly what I am learning, as well! It's so liberating knowing that we can trust God that if we do our part, He has everything under control , regardless of what the scale may say! Way to go!!

I am the same way and have been so bound to that number on the scale. It's so freeing to not have that bondage and know that God is in control! Way to go!
