Knocked out of the comfort zone

Apr 25, 2009

I have learned over all these years that this battle is REAL and it is for LIFE. I finally got in to see Dr. Fobi for my yearly check up.  I guess I had gotten comfortable with feeling good and being happy with my body.  Anyone that knows Dr. Fobi knows that he is a no excuse type of person. He will spend 5 minutes talking about your health and 20 minutes talking about how your life should be progressing since WLS or how as Oprah puts it "LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE". 
I got the "you have got to step up your cardio speech, walking is not enough".  I was so sad when I left his office I went home and went straight to bed.  I layed there and had a conversation with God.  I could hear Him tell my heart "you have come this far by MY grace".  I belly ached and felt sorry for myself for a while and finally I raised my hands and said "Lord I thank you for being my refuge and my strength".  I got up took my bike to get air and I have been riding ever since.  I guess I thought that after 17 years I could sit back and take it easy walk to maintain and that was enough, boy did I get knocked out of that comfort zone.  God wants His very best for us so that we can be a living testimony of just how good HE is.
