The first Step

Well today was the first team training. I met with 7 other people on my team for our first work out. It was a lot of fun! I love working out with other people. It makes the time go by faster.

At first our trainer Danielle had us run around the building. (each lap is 1/4 of a mile). Now, I'm not a runner. I wish I was and maybe someday I'll become one. I can remember when I was in middle school and we had to do the state physical challenge, and we would have to run! So instead of running I decided to skip. It was much more fun until I got yelled at.... Anyways, I didn't stop running and I finished with a time of 4:41! Not too bad for a half of mile!

There have been moments these past few days when fear has crept in my head. And I would begin to get scared that I wouldn't be able to do this. That I will fail. And when I fail everyone will know it because it's going to be on NBC. But I KNOW that it is a lie. And that I can do anything! Truly anything, with the Lords help. God has seemed to have given me an attitude with food that I have never had before. I seem to have self-control like never before!!! I am going with the attitude of "It's just food". And it has no power over me. The feeling of being in control of everything you do is so powerful and I am so blessed that I am able to have this experience.

Thank you for all your prayers!! I KNOW that they are working every time I'm able to say no to my flesh.
