Day 3- It's an uphill journey, but Imma keep on climbin' ...

Well, it's day 3 and I haven't quit yet! All three of these days I've walked my little Taylor to school, then I've gone on my 45 min to an hour trek in my neighborhood!! The first day was hilarious because I got lost (lol) and that walk was almost an hour and a half! The second day was better and today... man I almost felt like a champ!! Each day I've taken different routes (just to keep my attention) and it's been great! I'm not gonna lie to you and say that it has been easy, because it hasn't. I keep hearing that little voice in my head (I'm not giving the devil credit for that voice, because it sounded too much like me!lol) that said "take the short cut and go home!". But every time I thought of taking the shortcut, I thought about the results I would get if I just persevered!

I felt so weak, but then I was reminded of 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." So I'm going to brag on the fact that I'm a little weakling striving to be strong like my daddy!! These walks/runs/jog/then right back to walks have not only benefited me physically, but spiritually! I've been able to jam my Christian hip hop << abrupt stop>>

It's time for a Jai plus Me random fact!!!(with corny jingle music): (WARNING: These will happen occasionally!) I DONT LIKE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!! Weird huh?? How can I be a singer/producer/musician and not like to listen to music? One might ask... and I answer "I dunno?" I love SILENCE! I love to drive in silence! I love to read in silence! and I love to clean in silence! I get so involved in music... Id like to diagnose myself with having "Musical A.D.D"! As soon as music comes on... everything STOPS! I find myself stopping whatever I'm doing and literally walk in complete circles, forgetting whatever it was I was doing.... just so I can figure out what's going on with the the background vocals or trying to figure out the baseline!! I know it's weird, but it's me! lol That's actually how I got lost the fir day! I had my headphones on and wasn't paying attention and walked myself right into an unknown subdivision!! ROTFL at myself! ...... And that was another edition of, "Jai plus Me random fact!!!"(with corny jingle music)

.... and talk to the Lord while exercising! I just want to encourage anyone who's not completely happy with your outward appearance to not obsess about losing weight, juxtapose don't just sit and complain and whine about it (while eating a cheese burger with loaded fries and a diet coke)! Like the Mary's said... Get UP!!! do something! Walking is free! Doing jumping jacks is something you can do at home! Eating veggies is easy! Not eating as much bread is a sacrifice worth giving! Join me in dong something different.... sticking to something!!

These few days have been a reflection of my walk with Christ! I make excuses on why I didn't read my word or why I just did a quickly prayer and classified that as my "prayer for the day" ...I don't want to put in the time! I want the quickest way to lose weight and feel great and unfortunately it seems I want the quickest way to have a relationship with God just so I can say I did it.... Lets put in work so we can see real results!! Ok? Until then... Let your lips utter what His heart is saying, Jai plus Me!
