Dear Jesus -- I pray that You heal me of this headache, stuffy nose and body aches so that I may enjoy this weekend and start the New Year off in good health. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Today I spent the majority of the day in bed. Then I moved from the bed to the couch. Then back to bed. And again to the couch. Lastly, I will go to bed. No New Year's eve party for me. But hey, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to take care of my cold.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38 NIV.)
W3 - Day 5 Rum Ball Hangover
Dear God -- I pray that You will instill in me a desire to choose healthy alternatives over the yummy goodies that are put on my plate. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Rum balls, egg nog, shortbread, yum yum. What more can I say? I tried to keep to the grapes, however the goodies were too hard to resist. On a good note; I did better than I would have last Christmas given the same choices. Tomorrow is a new day!
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away (John 6:37 NIV.)

W3 - Day 4 IceRink Drive
Dear Lord -- In this season of celebrating with friends and family, I pray that I will have the energy and stamina to keep up. In Jesus' name, I pray.
All yesterday and last night it rained and then the temperatures dropped overnight to create a beautiful crystal landscape today. Unfortunately it was nicer to look at then to go out in. So today I spent my day indoors, mainly cleaning. I actually worked up a sweat just picking up the kids play room.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 NIV).

W3 - Day 3 Timmy's info
Dear Lord -- I pray that today I will be mindful of You all day. Open my eyes and my heart to see things the way that You do. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Today my family was on the road for most of the day and so we stopped in at Tim Horton's for a late lunch/early supper. Before ordering I asked for the Nutritional Information pamphlet and made wiser choices for my meal. I was surprised to find out that my Boston Creme donut was lower in fat and calories than 2 cookies! And this info is also available online at www.timhortons.com
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in Him (1 John 4:16 NIV).

W3 - Day 2 Cup of Candy
Dear Jesus -- I pray that I will find joy in my day. I pray that You will help me to enjoy this day with You. In Your name, I pray.
Today, I enjoyed the matinee The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe with my family. Instead of ordering hot butter-soaked popcorn, I chose a cup of candy. The treat lasted throughout the entire movie and I shared it with my husband and two children. Although it wasn't as good as not eating anything at all, I didn't want to deprive myself of the small joys at the cinema.
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:6 NIV)

W3 - Day 1 Just Another Day
Dear Lord -- As the Christmas celebrations continue this week, I pray that I will be mindful to choose healthy foods and incorporate exercise into my day. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Do you ever have one of those days that flies by and at the end of it you wonder where it went? I can't think of what I did today; it was a nice and relaxing day spent with family. I did remember to take the doggie for two walks and I ate lots of fresh berries with frozen yogourt.
The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made (Psalm 145:13 NIV).

W2 Day 6 Country Living
Dear Lord -- Tomorrow is the day we celebrate the birth of Your Son, Jesus. I pray that I will not get caught up in all the excitement of gifts and Santa but focus on the true reason for the season. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Living in the country has its physical benefits. Today, being Saturday, I worked hard at collecting and organizing all the household garbage and recycling to bring to the dump. This is a small workout in itself and I'm glad to see a clean garage after I'm done.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV.)

W2 - Day 5 Grocery Day
Dear Lord -- As I go grocery shopping today, I pray that You will fill me with a desire to buy healthy foods and stay away from any junk. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Today when I bought groceries, I spent most of my time in the fruit and vegetable aisle and steered clear of the goodies. I bought raspberries and fresh baby spinach. I bought whole wheat bread and low-fat peanut butter. There was nothing in my cart that I had not given good thought to and was pleased with.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28-29 NIV.)

W2 - Day 4 It's not all or nothing
Dear God -- I pray that You will help me to see myself as You do. Help me to see my own self-worth. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Some days things do not go as planned. Instead of walking the children to the busstop I had to drive them so that I could be back for my radio interview at 8:30. Then I had a visit from my father-in-law, and a few unexpected telephone calls. The day almost got away from me, but instead of packing it in and calling it quits on exercise, I decided to take the dog for an unplanned walk. She was happy to go! And then I bundled up again a short while later to get the kids from the busstop. I'm learning (slowly) that it's not an "all or nothing" venture.
And He passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, aboundign in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin (Exodus 34:6 NIV.)

W2 - Day 3 Raffle Winner
Dear Jesus -- I pray for Your peace and comfort today as I go about my work and preparations for the holiday season. Let me not forget the reason for the season. In Your name, I pray.
Tonight, I went to watch my children in their school Christmas concert. It was very well done. As part of the celebrations, the school council was selling raffle tickets for baked goodies. I bought some tickets and then found a spot to watch the show. In the end, they drew for the yummies and I won -- twice! I returned home with a plate full of sweet, delicious, fattening Christmas desserts. Immediately I put them in the freezer to save for my family on Christmas day. The other tray held a decorative picture of snowmen made out of coconut-covered chocolate balls. Yumm! We couldn't resist and so each of us had a piece of the snowmen and I shared the remaining with the company my husband had over. I was happy to enjoy the treat, and happier that I didn't eat the whole scene!
But the Lord is faithful, and He will stengthen and protect you from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3 NIV)

W2 - Day 2 Battle at the Circle
Dear Lord -- I know that exercise is key to health and also as a great stress reducer during this holiday season. Help me to find ways to move my body that are enjoyable and fun. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Today seemed to pass by quickly. The days are so short when the sun rises much later and sets so much earlier. But I did venture out in the evening again to take the dog for a walk around the block with my husband and daughter. Upon our return from around the circle we were bombarded by my 8-year old son and his best friend. They had been waiting to ambush us from their snowforts. We took the challenge, and with Jessie the dog on our side, we were able to push them into a retreat. It was exhilerating! If you haven't tried a snow ball fight lately, I would highly recommend it.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 NIV.)

W2 - Day 1 Aurora Borealis Reward
Dear Lord -- I pray that You fill me with strength and desire to live a healthy life. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Today was a very nice day. I completed my marking and submitted the marks to the college. I then went shopping and found everything I was looking for! Also, I treated myself to 3 new tops and a vest (courtesy of my mother). She had given me money for my birthday back in October, but I wanted to lose weight first before I bought anything. I reached my goal to lose 20 pounds last week and so decided to reward myself with some new clothes. Gotta love Cotton Ginny.
I was also rewarded tonight for venturing outdoors to build a snowfort with the kids after dark. Looking up at the star filled sky I spotted a faint band of white. It seemed to be dancing...the Northern Lights. What a treat!
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands (Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV.)

Week 1- In Review
Well, overall it was a good week. Awareness is key. Writing in this blog helps me to keep my goal of health and fitness front and centre. Today it's sunny and bright out. I plan to take the dog for a long walk around the neighbourhood. I want to spend some time reading my novel and my Bible. This is not unlike the beginnings of my book, Fit for Faith. I started it with a simple prayer, scripture and journal entry. I added a tracking system for healthy eating and exercise. And then when I offered it to my friends, they suggested I add a fit tip every day, and other supplementary materials that I found useful as a personal trainer. I made copies of this book and sold it for $18.69 +gst. This made it an even $20. Although this book is still available, I might consider a second edition, with these new journal entries. Hmm. Or perhaps an e-book. Food for thought.
Day 7 - Biting the head off a gingerbread
Dear Jesus -- Thank You for the wonderful snowday. I pray that I will be able to enjoy this day through living healthy. In Your name, I pray.
p.m. Biting the head off a gingerbread
I did well today. I took the dog for 2 walks through deep snow and I spent one hour shoveling the driveway and walkway. My body actually aches a bit. However, when I was marking student exams, I got into the kid's gingerbread house and ate way too much candy. My belly aches a bit. It's the mindless eating that kills me. I've got to pay more attention. Or chew gum.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26 NIV.)

Day 6 - Shortbread Dreams
Dear God -- I pray that today You will fill me with Your love and peace. I pray that I will choose healthy foods and have a desire to exercise. In Jesus' name, I pray.
p.m. - Shortbread Dreams
Today was a good day. I went out for 2 walks with the dog -- it was challenging to move through the deep snow with my winter boots; a good leg workout. I also was mindful of what I was eating and drank more water. Tonight, at my nightclass one of my students made shortbread cookies. I delighted in eating one and sharing the rest with the class. Now I plan to go to bed (quite early) to stay away from the kitchen. I plan to do some serious shoveling tomorrow.
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 NIV.)

Day 5 - It's a new day
Dear Jesus -- I pray You help me to focus on today, not be fretting about yesterday and worrying about tomorrow. I want to be in the here and now. In Your name, I pray.
p.m. -- It's a new day
Well, as I thought the scale at Weight Watchers reflected my "bad" week...I gained 1.5 pounds. Not good. However, today is a new day and I took the dog for 2 walks (even in the frigid temperatures) and ate more fruit. Tonight, I hunkered down in my office to mark papers with a cold bottle of water. Now, instead of watching tv, I'll read my novel in bed.

Day 4 - All or Nothin'
Dear Lord -- I pray that I will turn to You for comfort, instead of food today. In Jesus' name I pray.
p.m. - All or Nothin'
When I blow it, I blow it big. Today, I had full intentions of eating healthy. But then one of my students lovingly baked me some Christmas goodies..I had to eat them. And then I went out for lunch (which in itself was not so bad) but my girlfriend had made me a whole container of Christmas fudge. How could I resist? Then on top of that I had a meeting at my home tonight for my writer's group. I had prepared buttertarts, cheese & crackers, Christmas cookies, olives & pickles AND so, of course, I had to taste this and try that . Needless to say that once I start, my mind screams "no" but my body takes over and I'm like a runaway freight train. I've got to get off this train!
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV).

Day 3 - Divide My Days
I realize what I did wrong yesterday...I didn't start my day with a prayer! So today, I want to start my day with a prayer and end my day with a journal entry.
Dear Lord -- I pray that You relieve me of the guilt and self-condemnation I have because of yesterday's poor choices. Today is a new day. In Jesus' name I pray.
p.m.- Poutine is its own food group
Today, I did much better! I started my day with a prayer, and then went shopping with my sister-in-law to Cosco. We stayed for lunch there because our spree hit over the lunch hour. I was happy to buy a huge spinach salad. It was loaded with tomatoes, onions and mushrooms...yummy. My sister-in-law treated herself to poutine and even shared a few fries with me. 3 gravy and cheese smoothered french fries hit the spot for me and, satisfied, I returned to my salad.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17 NIV.)

Day 2 - I hate t.v.
Television is a terrible, horrible thing! All day, I did well not to eat when I wasn't hungry and not to eat any junk food.
After church today, we were invited to eat cookies and drink apple cidar in celebration of the musical that was put on. I stayed away from the cookie table.
Then I took my kids to a Christmas party put on by my work. I loaded my plate with carrot sticks and grapes. I avoided the sugary treats, cakes and hot chocolate. I had no problem doing this.
But then tonight, after a delicious dinner of roast beef (prepared by my husband) I could not stop eating. I was tired and wanted to veg in front of the television. But then I could not get enough food. I ate a bowl of icecream, 2 pudding cups, 2 mini cheesecake desserts and a row of candies. Arggg. My stomach actually hurts because it's so full. I didn't eat these because I was hungry, but only because I was bored, tired and wanted to munch infront of the television.
It's only 8:30 p.m. but I'm going to put myself to bed. At least there I can rest, maybe read and stay away from the kitchen.

Day 1 - Start my Health Journal
My book, Fit for Faith - 7 weeks to improved spiritual and physical health, was born out of a desire to become more physically healthy. As a former personal trainer, I knew all about exercise and nutrition, however there was still something missing. Or should I say Someone.
In the past, I had never included God in my health and fitness plan. I thought it wasn't something worthy of His attention. However, God checked my spirit and told me that He wants to be part of everything in my life...even something as small as losing a few pounds.
So I started my health and fitness journey by writing in a journal. Here is my entry from my first day:
"Last night, after the children were asleep, feelings of hunger overwhelmed me. Instead, I prayed to God to take the desire for late night snacking away. I then brushed my teeth, washed my face, put on my pajamas and by the time I turned on the television , my desire had subsided. I was honestly surprised how easily I forgot about my apparent hunger."
Over the course of the following 7 weeks I made a return to health -- physically and spiritually. Every day, I started with a prayer and a scripture verse. I tracked my exercise and my eating habits. This became the building block for my book.
I think that I will return to my daily prayer and Bible reading, as well as my journal writing. But instead of writing a second book, I'll use this forum to share my journal. Instead of waiting until January 1st to make my first entry I'll start today.
Saturday, December 10, 2005
Dear Lord -- I pray that You will guide me and give me courage and strength to continue on this health and fitness journey, taking it one day at a time. In Jesus' name, I pray.
My first day to write in my journal. I'm a little nervous but excited as well. We received a dumping of snow last night and so I plan to get my exercise by shoveling our driveway and front walk. Maybe I'll take Jessie the dog for a walk. Hey I could wear my snowshoes that I received for Christmas two years ago.
