Words


I hope you are having a good week! I am so far. I've got to admit though,that I am glad I started slow with those squats and lunges. I am more out of shape than I have been in a long time. I decided to start with 20 of each, each day for the first week then i'll get up to 50 and add on each week.

Anyways, so sitting here now even my feet are sore. :) lol

One thing I have never been is a quitter! Even with my weight loss struggles I have really never gone more than a few weeks at a time just sayin "whatever" and eating whatever I wanted, honestly. I have lost hundreds of pounds....and gained them all back.

I just want to encourage you to keep going.Maybe not to keep trying, but to keep DOING!!! I know some people are discouraged by things other people say to them or have said to them in the past and they let those words hold them back and keep them from living in God's best for their life. I have for the most part been able to get over what people have ever said to hurt me. Don't ge me wrong....I remember it, but I have never let it define me.

For me the words that hurt me the worst are the ones I say to myself. I think most of us are our own worst critic.

That is one of the reasons I love this newest zumba class I'm taking. It is in the dark with really cool lights and lots of people!! The last class Dawn and I took was in a very bright room with lots of mirrors and only 4 people. I spent the ENTIRE time saying ugly things about myself. I hated the pants I chose, I needed my roots done. I couldn't believe I had gotten this fat AGAIN!!! I hated the way I looked in my tennis shoes, and why wont my hair grow?!

You can imagine why I didn't go back!

This time I took my positive attitude and went in the back of the class and followed Margies advise,"I just watch the instructor and think i look exactly like her" :)
I know I did almost everything wrong and this instructor was a guy, but I pretended I was a hot little tamale and had a GREAT FUN workout!!! I enjoyed every second of it!

SO please take care of and encourage and believe in yourself like you would your best friend. God loves you, after all he created you, he has a purpose for your life and as Pastor Dan said sunday, "God loves you so much that if you were the only one on this earth he still would have come and died just for you! he loves you that much!" If God loves you, I don't think he would appreciate you being so mean to yourself!

I got this Train CD from my hubster for Christmas and this song has been on my mind! I LOVE IT, and just wanted to share.

TRAIN LYRICS




I'd give anything but I won't give up on you
I'd say anything, but not goodbye
I will run with your changes and I'm always on your side
And there's not a word I've ever heard that would make me change my mind

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let them burn

Like stones in your pocket people try to wear you down
Someone always wants to take the love you've found
So let's runs with these changes and I want you by my side
And there's not a word I've ever heard that would make me change my mind

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let them burn

Let them burn
Let them burn
Underneath every word somebody's heart been broken
With or without words we try to forgive

Words they'll try to shake us
Don't let them break us
Or stop our world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let them burn

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world, stop your world from turning round
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood and let them burn

Let them burn
Let them burn
