NO PAIN NO GAIN

A new day this is. It wasn't so much of a challenge getting physical. The urge was right there in fact I woke up so early but I had to stay in bed for an extra hour so that I can start the workout. In the past the pains would come in day 3 but mine started on day 1. Gosh my body is screaming am so unhealthy and unfit. I have made excuses, all kinds of excuses, trust me but I remember what my Paps told me and it keeps ringing in my head. He said, "Mama, take care of your health if nothing else." Those right there are powerful words from a man of great wisdom so why should I not heed his wise counsel?

So yesterday I tried my level best and ate healthily watching my portions. One thing I know is an advantage is I don't expect it to just drop off and voila! Wham bang am a size 0(who am I kidding am not aiming at that anyways) but yes I know I have to work for it to sweat it off and that is the only way I shall gain health and lose weight. My mantra now is NO PAIN NO GAIN. I know the worst is yet to come but I will keep at it and keep fighting.

When I say am not going to give up easily and be a push over it reminds me so much of a friend I visited recently. She has just lost her unborn baby and there we were telling her its gonna be alright and she shouldn't give up and try try try to get another baby. My mind wandered off and I thought of people I know some even smoked through their first trimester(ok they didn't even know they were expectant) but they carried their pregnancy to term and have really healthy babies. God is a funny one but sometimes His humor is just something else. This girl took care of her unborn baby right from when she found out she was expecting but He had other plans. There she was eating healthily looking out for any stress and heeding to the doctors advice but no it was taken from her. I won't judge or anything but I will keep praying for her that her faith is fully restored and she will keep trying and not see this as the end of it. 

Just like my friend I need to keep the faith, it will take sometime but one thing is for sure if I keep trying I will drop it off and keep it off too.
