You can’t out exercise a bad diet

So I have been really down on myself feeling really rubbish about my situation and destination.
I am talking weight.
I have also found it quite hard at the gym motivation wise.

So take last week for instance. There I was pounding it away on the treadmill, wondering why I was doing it and really wanting to jump off and do something else instead. My music just wasn’t doing it for me. I wasn’t getting anywhere fast.
Then a Christian tune came on. And without realising it was spurring me to work harder and harder.
I didn’t really think much of it until the next day the same thing happened. I was struggling at the gym, a banging Christian tune came on and the time flew by and before I noticed it was time to jump off and get on the cross trainer.

You see God is for me. He wants the best for me. He put the Marathon in my heart and he is going to help me get there.
God doesn’t just give you an idea and make ‘you’ run with it on your own.
If it’s from God, if he has put it on your heart, then he stands with you and pushes you on.
Yes you will get there. Maybe not the way you expect, maybe with a few obstacles on the way. But I tell you, you will get there.

All I need to do is trust, and obey

There Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust.
2 Samuel 22: 2-3

From now on, I know that I need my God tunes to keep me going. I can’t do this without him, I know I can’t do this without him and I guess that sometimes I need reminding.

As for the rest. I had a chat with Jodie, my PT. She gave me a gentle kick up the backside regarding my diet.
I have a sweet tooth, I have a really bad sweet tooth. I love sweets and it is my downfall.
Jodie helped me sort my head out, I needed that gentle reminder of my goal through her too.

The chewing gum has been stocked up and I have started to read my new book – Making good habits, breaking bad habits by Joyce Meyer.
Sweets for me is a habit, and it is one that I am going to break with the grace of God.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is. And that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 14: 5-6
