I do this on my own with no assistance. It was very hard at first but is becoming much easier.

I just started working on this exercise this morning. I am trying to get fuller range of motion. Right now it is very difficult to reach behind in any way.

Attitude of Gratitude

I need to refocus each morning and bring myself back to God, my higher power.  It is difficult to remain in His presence when I know I fall short of my own goals in life.  In this case I am speaking about my weight issues.  Recently because I suffered a frozen shoulder and an ITB injury I have been in pain fairly constantly for a few months.  I tried massage therapy to relax my muscles which seemed very tense and stressed.  I also went to a pain clinic where I received injections (not steroids but non-inflammatory).  I thought I was to the end of my rope.  

God Heard My Cry

I was in so much pain that I was just so DONE with it all.  Last week I got to the point where I just sort of crumbled and spoke to Yehovah through my Yeshua, imploring Him to please listen to me and bring me back into health, not a far time off goal but NOW!  

My mind raced with thoughts of people who I knew that suffered from obesity to the point of physical disability--I knew I did not want that, nor did I believe that God wanted that for me.  Mostly I said, "Okay Lord, enough is enough.  If you wanted to break me, I am there.  Now please mend me.  Not only PLEASE MEND ME, but I give you full permission to mend me.  I will cooperate with you completely in this recovery of my physical well being.  Show me what I need to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

I surprised myself by crying out in this way because I felt I was so happy with my spiritual walk, I was shocked at how much I was actually deprived of being 100% complete.  Some how i felt Yeshua was listening, taking note and actually delighting in my breakdown/breakthrough. I do say breakthrough because the result of this little chat with God was a new resolve to try HARDER, NOT give up and keep persisting, NO MATTER WHAT.  

My chiropractor told me that I needed to exercise more everyday.  Since that time I began doing small things such as leg lifts, stomach crunches, stretches and just about anything I could find to build up my muscle mass.

I am GRATEFUL that yesterday when I went to my chiropractor he was overjoyed that my flexibility is greatly improved.  I went from struggling to get my left leg off the table more than 2 inches, to nearly having my leg up to a 90 degree angle.  

What a blessing!!!  Thank you YESHUA for reminding me the more I turn to you, the more I can succeed in becoming pain free and eventually fat free and physically fit.

I went from lifting my left leg only an inch or two off the bed to now where I can list it to nearly 90 deg.

I am now working on doing pelvic thrust lifts. I do this slow and determined. I am strengthening my body in just a very short time. Praise you Yehovah!!

I am also working on stretching out my spine doing this and variations of it in the morning and at night.

A Few Pounds Gone

I think I finally am on to something special and God given/  I found a great resource for spiritual support for men and women. I have been to several meetings I think today was my 5th.  Since joining I have tried to listen to God's leading me through this journey.  I have spoken to many people that consider themselves blessed to be given this opportunity to loose weight amongst all these people.  I guess I feel that way too now.  I am happy with my weight loss so far.

Ode To Health Rider

12/10/2014

0 Comments

 
We have had the health rider in our home for many years now.  Like a lot of exercise equipment it is a pass down from our family.  When it first arrived I used it, my husband used it and we thought it would be a fitness breakthrough.  But...we kind of stopped way short of fantastic and used it as a laundry hanger on occasion.  

I have been suffering for a long time now with my hips, back and shoulder.  A week ago I looked at my Health Rider and wondered whether it might be able to help realign me and build up my muscles.  

So I hopped on and slow but surely...I exercised that morning

The first few times were really painful on my hips and knees.  I went slow, I went fast, I went micro-slow...until I hit 100. The painful irony of Health Rider is that to use it you are forced to lift your OWN WEIGHT.  Eeks!!!  That's about the time I started saying, "Man, I weigh a too much!" 

What exercise equipment 
do you have gathering dust?

Released From Fear: 1 Samuel 12:24

12/2/2014

1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear ADONAI, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for think what great things he has done for you!
Picture
At first read this verse is a warning and instruction on how to live my life.  It tells me that to not serve Yehovah is to doom myself.  History proves that Our Creator requires two things primarily #1 Love Him with all our heart #2 Remain obedient to His commands.  I guess what I need to apply from this verse is that if I truly love Yehovah wouldn't I easily put aside self indulgence in order to become a Holy Temple for Him in which to dwell?  When I release my fear, it testifies that Yehovah has never wronged me in anyway...
