The Before:
“Skinny Minny,” something
that a lot of people long to hear, a nickname I’ve had my entire life, a
nickname I dread: but one that unfortunately defines exactly who I am
(Underweight, unhealthy, etc. etc.) One not meant to be offensive, but in most
cases is. A name I’ve grown to hate; but with this hatred comes an overwhelming
desire to become healthy once again, a want to feel comfortable in my own body
and to feel that self confidence that every woman wants to feel.
Welcome to my
journey! A journey that will most definitely be difficult to accomplish, and
bring many frustrations, as it already has: but one that will bring much
satisfaction. Here’s to a healthy life.
My Goal:
As a Christian
woman my main goal in life is to serve and honor my God. With sickness and
tiredness constantly getting in the way of that goal, I feel I cannot do this
to the best of my ability. So… a goal I’ve created for myself comes with two
parts:
#1.
Become physically fit
*gain 20lbs in 40 weeks
By doing this I
will be at a healthy weight for my height, have more energy and a stronger
immune system.
#2. Become spiritually fit
*gain 20 books in 40 weeks
Reading 20 books
of the Bible in 40 weeks will help me maintain a healthy relationship with God,
become stronger in my Christian walk and work to honor Christ.
For the next 40
weeks I will blog my progress, post recipes and share verses from Gods Word.
I encourage you
to embark on this journey with me. As I don’t have an actual trainer I can use
all the help and encouragement I can get from my friends and family.
Any tips or
tidbits you have from living a healthy life style or things you’ve found to
help you, please share!
Courtney
