The Biggest Loser Contest that I was in, is now over. I did not win first place. But, I still consider myself a winner. I lost a total of 45 pounds in 87 days! I still have more to lose and I am motivated to keep it working on it.
I have learned a lot about myself and about life in general over the last 3 months. One thing is that I had a pretty low opinion of myself. I felt selfish for taking time away from the family. I had to keep reminding myself that it was ok to be “selfish” and spend so much time at the gym and at home exercising. It helped so much to have family and friends that were very supportive.
I also had a low opinion on what I could do at the gym. But my trainer pushed me, pushed me way beyond my “comfort level”. I found that I could accomplish much more than I could ever imagine. Each time, my muscles gained strength. Before I knew it, I was doing things that I never ever thought I could do. You know, God does that with me too. He asks me to do something and I think that there is no way that I could do it, or that someone else could do it much better. Then He stretches me, beyond my comfort zone. And little by little, I build up that spiritual muscle.
As I continue processing all that has happened in me over the last few months, I will be sharing more.
