It really is meaningless!!
I know it's suppose to be a positive thing and here I am saying it's all meaningless.
Well it is.

I have come a long way on this journey the past year. Anyone that has known me for any extended length of time know this is not my first round of trying to "get it right". I have done diets. I have gone super workout girl. I have done the starvation route. The list could go on and on, and some of this even worked for a while.
What can make a difference this time? How can I KEEP my eye on the goal? Good question. I first have to do the "soul searching" and find out what really matters to me. I have to find that one key that makes the difference. I had this key when I was in my early 20's and I lost sight of it. I got out and did my own thing thinking I can do ANY thing I want to. I knew it ALL. For the older crowd that is reading this you know exactly what I am talking about, I am sure we have all at some point thought this. To the ones who have not be aware that it can come to you at any time and you will lose sight of what really matters.


What is my ultimate goal? I want to look good? I want to feel good? I want to be able to run and do things with my kids? I want to run a marathon?? ( stop laughing I MIGHT some day lol ) I want to be healthy? What will make this time different?

As I said I did have that goal in sight when I was younger but lost it. No matter what road you are on. No matter how old you are. No matter if you are financially rich or poor it is all meaningless without One driving force. It is the One that has kept me going in the good and bad. If I work myself thin in the gym. If I eat myself healthy and share it all with you guys, and that is all I share, I have missed the most important One.

When it first became noticeable that pounds had started dropping off people asked me how I was doing it. I smiled and say A LOT of prayer. I know some thought that I was just being silly and didn't want to tell them what I was doing. The thing is, I was being honest. I knew I needed to put God in the driver seat. I can NOT do this on my own.
No guys I'm not giving you a sermon and I am just sharing what has made me stick with it better, like I did when I was younger, that made a difference this time. I can write posts and tell you about tips, meal planning, victories and defeats, but if I don't let you know why I am able to push thru all this it doesn't mean a thing.

"Ecclesiastes 2:25 To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. "

We all have "tasks" to live but if we miss the Key to focus on, the true Key it is all meaningless. We have wasted our time. My Key focus is God. HE is my driving force when I want to stop. He is my peace that helps me thru what I feel are my failures. He is the one still small voice that say chose the healthy option. He is the one that gives me to swim one more lap or lift that weight ten more times.
What is your true driving force?
