Then Samuel took a stone...calling the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. 1 Samuel 7:12

Disappointments Can Keep Us Motivated...

Well....I received my blood work results today.  My cholesterol actually went up instead of down.  I was rather disappointed but I have to remember that for almost 2 weeks prior I had not been to the gym and I was not eating as well.  In 6 months I will have another one done and Lord willing it will show much improvement.  Thankfully they are still within "borderline" presently so that I don't need to add any medications to my routine.  I just need to remain faithful in the day to day with keeping my focus on Christ and how He wants me to be within the boundaries in Scriptures. 

All that being said, I have exercised faithfully for a week now.  I feel so much better!  My eating has also been controlled and not exhibiting gluttonous behaviors.

Keep up the good work and results will show.....make sure you are getting in some healthy fats and limit sugar. Lots of fat free products are high in sugar and actually can cause the cholesterol to go up, so watch out for that.
