Praising Him In This Storm...Maintaining A Positive Outlook Through The Grace Of Christ

...once again I say "Amen" and it's still raining. But as the thunder rolls I barely hear you whisper through the rain, "I'm with you." And as Your Mercy falls, I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away. And I'll praise You in this storm, and I will lift my hands that You are who You are, no matter where I am. And every tear I've cried, You hold in Your hand, you never left my side. And though my heart is torn, I will praise You in this storm.

Train Me

I met my trainer today at 6 am. Yep, that's right folks yours truly hopped out of bed at 5:45 and headed to the gym!! Got in some cardio, and a weights workout, and had some fun with my new trainer. It was great, and I'm so thankful I made this decision. I actually ate breakast (a protein bar and a LIGHT Starbucks Double Shot Espresso), I ate a salad and soup for lunch, a turkey sandwich for mid-afternoon snack, and I had a grilled chicken salad with lots of veggies and homemade Greek dressing for dinner. I hit the gym after work intending to do a kickboxing class, instead I jumped on the elliptical with Michael for about 5 minutes and I hit the wall.

I think I maybe hit 1400 calories today, and I feel awesome. I definitely have the weight to lose, but I'm on a good start.

I'm going to make it a point to eat really well the rest of the week, and tomorrow I'm going to work out after work.

Here's to not being a hypocrite....
