The old saying a picture is worth a thousand words is true, in just 2-months - transformation! I knew I was getting healthier, but now I can see the beginning of change. I've lost 15 lbs, 5 inches around my waist, 1 inch around each arm and leg, 2 inches around my hips, and 2 inches around my chest. These pictures say what I've felt, because I have more energy, and my clothes are fitting again or falling off of me. I still have not reached my goal, but I'm well on my way. The workouts that our personal trainer MacKenzie VanDoren created for us, has allowed my eyes to witness definition that I haven't seen in years. The amazing thing is, It's only been 60-days and I can now say I'm ready for immeasurably more!
Here is what I've learned, the transformation on the outside doesn't compare to the transformation on the inside! These past 60-days took surrendering things that I love, for the thing that I love more. This has been a spiritual journey that began with me denying myself of things that I consumed without a thought to the why or consequences. The obedience and determination shifted over to my Spiritual Walk with the Lord.
It felt like darkness surrounded me many days throughout the duration, yet I can say God wins in the end! I gave up many comforts that kept me from finding the only thing that can fill my cup. I tried food, alcohol, medicine, entertainment, and other things that the world offers, but nothing satisfied my hunger. I came back to my first love, the one who loved me first. What fills you, will spill and I know what is filling me up now is all I need. This healthier body, mind, and soul is not just changing me, but those around me.
