I am continually praying for you in this journey and have been ruminating over this post all week. Congrats on your successes and your openness to share and be accountable on your blog. It does make a difference and you have been quite the inspiration I needed this week. All the best! You have no idea how much I needed to hear your story this week, AB.

I was reading your workout schedule and girl you are killing yourself! I just learned about a great new way to lose weight in a shorter amount of time, but still healthy. I took a tread and trim class at my gym. Basically it is on the treadmill and work intervals of sprints and incline into the workout. For example, I do a 5 minute warm up then 5 minutes at a 5.0 incline (you can work up to this, I had to), then back down to 0.0 incline and I sprint for 2 minutes, jog for 2 minutes, sprint for 2 minutes, and so on for 10 minutes. Then I go back to the incline for 5 minutes and then depending on the time I have for the day either a 5 minute cool down or repeat the intervals one more time. I don't know if this will help, but I just wanted to suggest it! God bless! I don’t even know how I stumbled upon your blog, but I love your honesty and commitment to sharing Christ’s love.

This skinny girl is just as frustrated with her endurance level as you. And I move faster simply because my legs are long. My side is aching, and I am struggling not to gasp for breath. Your 17 hours a week make my measly 3 or 4 look pathetic. Thanks for putting my discipline, or lack thereof, into perspective. I don't think you give yourself nearly enough credit. You amaze me.

I'm like you and get really bored when I work out unless it's in a class. So I got connected with the lowest level trainer at my gym and he charged me pennies compared to what the normal trainers charge. It was awesome and I had not been in that good of shape since high school. It might be a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask if someone there could give you a really good deal. Sometimes they charge less too if you do a group training session. In that case, you could do it with your friends and that might even be fun. Just an idea. Also, I'm one of the weakest ones in my step class right now since I didn't work out for 9 months. I just keep telling myself that at least I have something to work toward, which is more motivational than working out just to maintain your weight. Anyway, way to go us on the hard work we've already done! Last year I wanted to work out with a trainer to get ready for my sis’s wedding.

it doesn’t matter whether or not you FEEL like working out– what matters is if you’re GOING to work out.

don’t get me wrong… feelings are important. but not MORE important than discipline and doing the right thing. and now that i have effectively delivered that message to myself, i will be looking at my schedule to fit in a run before my crazy ministry night. thanks ab!

I feel the same way. There are certain things I can do now because I'm not tied down to anyone or anything. It is a blessing in this season, not a curse as I sometimes like to think it is. Lately, my goal has been to live out 1 Cor. 7:35. To live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord in this season of singleness!
