in Success Stories
Success stories should be a daily testimony ( kind of like a salvation testimony story ) we can all have that. You woke up, you ate that fruit and oatmeal instead of McDonald's or a kolache . You took the initiative to walk !!! That's awesome ! Praise god! Wow that's a success story ! This is you taking better steps to a better lifestyle and it's just you and god ! Share that story !
I am alive, I went for a run in a different place and got lost but god help me find my way back and since I was lost I didn't want to stop running so I worked out harder !!! You can do it !

    That's right even tho I did eat McDonalds :'( for breakfast I opted out of the hash brown and just ate the sandwich. I brought my lunch to work and drank water today instead of going back to McDonalds :p . Every little bit helps you to make life style changes.

    Love love love your attitude :) I think we tend to get caught up in the BIGGER picture and don't take the time to celebrate all the small changes we are making daily.
    Thanks so much for reminding us :)

    No problem ! I agree .. I think that's why we give up so easily. We don't give us enough credit for what we do because we don't see results right away or fit into those " hip" jeans so we tend to go to our old ways . However, we are doing so much every day that we will eventually see results and you're right that's what we have to remember

    I was just lamenting this morning that I wasn't seeing results as fast as I wanted to. It's true every day is full of mini successes! I know the results will come... Patience and keeping on is the answer!

    Love it!! Especially the part of Salvation. I tend to forget that everyday walking with God is a success and a wonderful journey, even if we're not at the place we want to be yet. Thank you for that!! Also, on the physical health side of things too. I love it! My day has just begun, so no successes yet. I'll report back later.
