There are days when staying on track with our water, attitude, veggies, and exercise seem easy. On those days, we may not even feel as if we need support. Those are the days when the weight is seemingly falling off, our friends are noticing and giving us compliments and we are grinning from ear to ear.
Yet, there will be days when it seems as if our scale has gotten stuck. It won’t budge, not even a tenth of a pound or maybe it even goes up. All of this in spite of the fact that we have been sweating hard at every workout, turned away from every dessert and drank enough water to float an ark.
Those are the days we really need to seek God. He doesn’t want us to give up or quit. Stay the course and remember God is faithful. He is on our side. Our bodies have to pause from time to time and adjust. So when the scales don’t move and we hit that inevitable plateau, we need to just stay the course and be patient. Our bodies will change and we will start to make progress again. Have you hit a plateau? How did you get through it?
For me, I realized that I had a new body and I was a new person ~ new in Christ. We are putting off the old and becoming a new person from the inside out. I am sure the finish line will be worth the effort!
