Sharla's Intro Post for CCCIII
Hi ladies,
This summer was a big blessing for me as I was able to be at my nieces wedding in the states and stay with family for three weeks. It was a whirlwind trip but very much worth it.
I am a missionary in Spain and living in Talavera de la Reina near Toledo. I have been serving here since 1983 with my husband and three children. I am 50 years old and I started in on Faith Fitness and Fun in February. I decided it was time to get down to business with my excersise program which I had let go for almost a year, and try to lose some weight that I had gained from not staying active and eating whatever I wanted.
I was sooo happy when July rolled around because I had lost all of the weight I wanted and more. So at the wedding I was down to 58 kilos which I have not seen on me for several years. Needless to say I had to buy something new for the occasion, which I of course enjoyed doing! I am also happy to say that the three weeks I was in the states I did not gain a pound due to the fact that I controlled what I ate and I was very busy running here and there.
As you know I am fifty and am now full force into my surgical menopause. This summer the hot flashes came on very heavily and with the heat it sure didn't help any. I came back from the states and suffered out the heat here with no air conditioning.:( I was discouraged to even try to excersise in that heat. Now we are already in October and I have excersised very little and I have been eating just whatever. So now I am at 60.6 kilos and rising. At my age, if I do not keep a steady pace with excersise, I can gain very quickly even if I watch what I eat. Sooo, I really need your prayers so that I can overcome the temptation to not put excersise as a priority in my life specially around the time of year when we are bogged down with church responsibilities.
Giving glory to God for His strength,
Sharla G
