A Little About Me

Welcome to my journey.  If you are here, then you must be just the slightest bit curious about what it is I am doing here.  I am not a natural writer, and I have never been the type to feel comfortable about letting people know about my dreams and aspirations.  Well folks the time has come to let you in on a secret that I have reluctantly shared with an elite group of people.  I am training to become a body builder.  I know that terminology brings up images of masculine women and lots of shiny oil.  While that is absolutely a category of body building competitions, I can assure you that it is not my cup of tea. I want to compete in a much more feminine area of the sport.  

 

So what does this have to do with faith or discipline?  I am sure that you can guess how disciplined a person has to be in order to be at the level of competing.  I guess that leaves the question of faith.  I have been a Christian for the majority of my life, and I can see that God has a much bigger plan than I can imagine for me.  I know that discipline is a key area of my life that needs much improvement.  I also know that my lack of obedience  has brought me to the low points of my life.  Obedience requires discipline.  My lack of discipline has brought me to battle with my weight and has given me a plethora of excuses to justify my actions.  Well not this time.  The fact that I have played my cards so close to my chest for the majority of my life has not served me well.  I have lacked accountability, and I have a few spare pounds still to show for it.

The holidays are now knocking at my door, and I know more than ever that I need to answer to someone other than myself.  I cannot be left to my devices because I am the queen of self sabotage.  Will I have the self discipline to maintain a level head and not frenzy?  We shall see.
