Serving God by Loosing Weight!!

Yep that is me at 50 that is so not going to be me at 51! I woke up today (it has been a long time coming) and decided enough was enough! I can not take looking like this, feeling like this, living like this. Life HAS to change.. 

I need to loose about 175lbs and that is just scary.. Fortunately for me the only weight related health issues I have are bad knees and those come from years of sports and teenage injuries but the weight totally jacks up the pain..

The thing that amazes me is I made this plan today.. I finally set a serious forseeable goal.. then I went on facebook and one of my friends post this verse

Colossians 3:23-24

New International Version (NIV)

²³ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, ²⁴ since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Is that perfect or what? It's nice to know that I can serve God by loosing weight!
