What area of my life needs a new LENS?



Well I am back..with a new lens and REFOCUSED on the goal. From the last post you know I was struggling because my weight loss journey had kinda stalled. So I had to apply what I call the 3 Rs..Reflect, Revamp, and Refocus.

I stopped to reflect on what was getting in the way of me making continuous progress on my weight loss journey. Also, I had to reflect on how I was sabotaging myself and take a real honest look at the food choices and eating plans I was now utilizing.

After reflecting, I decided to revamp my weight loss program which I shared with you all in the last blog. I went back to the eating basics..meats, fruits, vegetables, drinking a gallon of water daily, journal my foods and calories. As far as exercise, I got in 2 workouts a day 3 days of the week and kept count of the calories I was burning. Finally, the biggest revamp not weighing myself every day, but now I weigh every 3 days.

Finally, the most important thing is to refocus on my weight loss goal. I constantly envision myself at the goal weight or size I would like to see myself. I go to bed already focused on what I am going to eat the next day and what workouts I am going to do. I know in order for me to finish, I have to remain focused and not let anything cloud my LENS. Also, I could do none of this without the word of God leading me and giving me strength. My daily read is from  Prayers That Avail Much by Germaine Copeland...The prayer I read is titled "Renewing the Mind". I find this prayer to be particular beneficial, because this whole weight loss process requires a renewing of the mind if it is to be permanent.

Now let me just say it is hard to do the refocus stage if you have not done the other two. You have to reflect so that you can know what to revamp in an effort to refocus the LENS on the ultimate goal. Now this blog is of course about my weight loss journey. However, when I write these blogs I write them in the hopes that you can apply whatever I am talking about to other areas of your life. So having said that, ask yourself the question "What area of my life needs a new lens?" I encourage you to ask the question and then apply the 3 Rs..reflect, revamp, and refocus.  If you don't mind, please leave a comment sharing how you will apply the 3 Rs to your life.

Today I shall be transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
