God takes the bad & makes it wonderful ;) Change for the better ;)

I first got up an hour early. which was 5 am I thought it was cool to be up when no one else was ;) it became a pleasure. I never lacked for sleep. Now 5 years later I lost 75 lbs. and it is part of my life. I can not not work out ;) My body just hurts if I miss a day or two. Toxins build up in your body & working out releases them. Stress & pain go away when my muscles are strong and I have always loved clothes & fashion so I like wearing a size 2-4 rather than 16. I am glad that I learned from being underweight to overweight to just right. I just prayed to be healthy and in my correct weight. I just feel better when I eat healthy & take care of myself. I do not want to die bc I was overweight. I want to be strong & fit & healthy now (not skinny ;) Thin just comes when I am in shape ;) When I take that time to work out that tells my brain that nothing is more important than my health, my life and the quality of my future. I want to be here for my kids as long as I can ;) Too many ppl die way too young bc of being overweight ;( I think it is more of a mental problem than physical. We do not value our lives in America. After I started getting physically fit for the right reasons I quit smoking & drinking. I try to pay attention to how I live my life & what I do & dont do to honor my life. 20 yrs of trashing my body ;) Now I am trying to live pure ;) Honor God & the results are what He intended. The world wants us busy and distracted. I pray and meditate (talk and listen to God ;) read my bible, & take care of myself & others. Be kind & loving to yourself & others & the results are pure joy ;) That is just my journey but the more I try to be like Jesus the happier I am (and those around me are too ;) If I can do it any one can!!! I hated ppl, hated life, drank whiskey & smoked non stop while I was awake ;) 20 yrs. that's a long time ;( I was 100 lbs but not happy. It is all about self worth, that is the bottom line for me. Being strong & fit reminds me I am fighting a Spiritual Battle every day & I am in fighting shape now ;) Mentally...when I am weak God is strong for me ~ I pray a lot for what I need God to help me with & He answers my prayers ;)
