So, here I am after several months of NO blogging! What can I say? TIme just hasn’t allowed it! Anywho, here I am again! (sounds like a secularsong) “Here I am again on my own!” I can hear the music in my head as I write the lyrics. Nuff a dat!
Well, as the title infers, I am on the long road to wellness. As an overweight pastor, What began this journey was a visit to the doctor. He took one look at me and said, “You need to lose weight!” You are a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen!” Now, a type 2 diabetic with high cholesterol and High blood pressure, I have started a long journey to wellness and freedom.
4 weeks ago, I started the journey to my freedom from obesity. As a pastor, I see people bound by many other things, but I, myself, am bound by obesity. BUT… not for long! So, I am now following Michael Thurmond’s advice and doing a 6 week body makeover. To date, I have lost a total already of 30 lbs. YAY!
I feel better. I eat better. I walk and exercise, and yes, I even work out with the pretty little PURPLE band that comes with the Makeover plan. Not to mention, I probably have the cleanest COLON around! LOL! I am already 1/3 of the way to my goal weight loss. You can figure the math as to how much I want to lose. AND… I have already had to buy a new suit. (2 sizes smaller!) Whoo-hoo! Go me! Go me! Go, go, go me!
Enough of that too! Anyway, pray for me! I will need the strength and support from each of you! I have already asked God to help me, and I know He already is. With the weight loss comes a healing from my diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol! I have started the journey physically already! I am also making tremendous strides on my Spiritual journey! When I get hungry, I begin to read the bible, and it takes the edge off my hunger! I am getting fed, but in a spiritual way! Isn’t that awesome? I am just eating from the Master’s Table! May I tell you, the Master’s Table has everything I could ever want or need, and then some!
I am well on the way to freedom from sickness and health issues. I will beat this thing called obesity. I will beat diabetes, high cholesterol, and high BP. Eventually! As long as buffets still serve salad, I will be fine! As long as there is water from the tap, and Crystal Light Lemonade, I will make it! God bless you! And please pray for me! It has been a difficult journey, but to have traveled 1/3 of the way, is better than having not traveled at all. Layda on yall!
