Exercise

This week I successfully went to the gym 4 times and realised that I've lost quite a bit of weight! I used my home scales as opposed to the gym ones, so will need to double check to confirm this, however, it really gave me a boost of motivation and encouragement to complete my twelve weeks. So excited to lose more and see more results! 

Spiritual Reflection of the Week

Philippians 1:6 "6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."  

In everything that I do, by eating clean only for one day, by only going to the gym for one day, I won't see any results. It's only when I see a before and after picture, or when I look at how much my health has improved over time, that I will notice the change. I pray today that you will be encouraged to continue on with the Lord and not be discouraged by a lack of immediate results. God is with me, just as he's with you, working towards completion.



Next week hopefully, to mark 1/3 of the way along my twelve weeks i'll have an amazing surprise for you all. I'm working really hard on it, so look out for that on week 4's post! Meanwhile, I have created a new Instagram for CCC - @chrissyscookingchronicles so be sure to follow that and share it with your friends.

As always have a blessed week ahead.
