Self Discipline
I have a Women's Devotional Bible that I refer to when I am struggling with something. As of late, I'm becoming less and less disciplined. Weigh In To Win contest.
Those of you who know me, can remember that seven years ago, I won the opportunity to lose weight while WTOL followed me around for nine months during their
At the end of the contest, my weight was 150-160 pounds. I kept within that range for nearly five years. Then I had a house fire, turned 50, battled with unemployment...I know...excuses - Bottom line is, somewhere along the line, I lose my sense of self discipline, trading it in for self indulgence. I'm closer to 200 now :(
So as I look into the index/topics my bible, I found 1 Corinthians 9:24 (St. Paul is one of my favorites!) I will leave you with this: Do you not know that those who run in race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things."
Whatever you do to move your body, exercise, run, walk, bike, hike or swim...take time to do it today!
