The Summer of Discipline just started 4 days ago but It's going strong already! One of my focuses, and to be honest, what started my thought process of this discipline journey, is my health...
2 Weeks ago and stood on the scale for the 1st time in a year and half. I new it was going to be bad. I was actually ashamed when I saw the scale real 209 pounds. That's the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I've definitely not being taking care of my body, God's temple.
Being a 360 Worship Leader means leading worship in every part of your life... My health has been a place where God hasn't been receiving honor... This was obvious to me as I stared down at the scale. ...So let's change.
I now, as I write this, weigh 197.2 Pounds. In 2 weeks a simple addition of discipline to my diet has taken of some weight. Let's here it for discipline.
I haven't reached my goal yet... I want to weigh 180, but more specifically not feel like a pudgy white dude. (Not sure why I put white dude in there... this has nothing to do with race...)
TOOLS
I have 1 tool that I have used and will continue to use. MY FITNESS PAL
It is a great website and iPhone app that serves as a Meal Diary, Calorie Counter, Exercise journal, and more. It even has some built in Social Media where I can connect with friends who are also trying to lose weight. They see when I lose weight and I see when they do as well.
I entered in my info.. Height, Weight, Age, lifestyle activity, etc... And my fitness pal told me how many Calories I should eat a day in order to lose 2 pounds a week. Pretty simple.
So I'm well on my way to my goal...
