But I think I over did it - for good reason though. I spent 16 hours learning to instruct aerobics dance. (I thought that the only way to get me to the gym is if I get paid for it...lol so I've become an instructor...lol.)<br /><br />Can't wait to start instructing!L-Jayhttp://mylittlenorway.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-8940346124010655652009-12-12T20:26:19.273-07:002009-12-12T20:26:19.273-07:00Debbie,
I'm just now getting over here. I...Debbie,<br /><br />I'm just now getting over here. I've been trying to get my Christmas shopping done. I feel so far behind on the season!<br /><br />This video is great. I had heard the song many times, but I hadn't seen the video. I'm so glad they showed the computer touch-ups. It's so easy to feel inadequate when we see the images in the magazines, but it drastically changes things for me when I see the computer enhancements. We're comparing ourselves to computer-generated images!<br /><br />I love the way you address the dichotomy of the mindsets on fitness. We shouldn't make food OR body image an idol.<br /><br />Love you, Debbie!!!<br /><br />SandySandy @ The Scoop on Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382966038522662787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-57182108019334858442009-12-12T10:31:42.104-07:002009-12-12T10:31:42.104-07:00Fantastic song.Fantastic song.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-27762879349153561432009-12-12T10:15:17.716-07:002009-12-12T10:15:17.716-07:00Thanks for sharing that video.

I'm all for fitness and healthful living, but I spend far more time on powdering the gentle and quiet spirit the Lord considers so precious. Come to think of it, I do too.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-67475593239252902152009-12-11T13:38:37.500-07:002009-12-11T13:38:37.500-07:00This is such a wonderful song.

That was great. And what a good message for young girls, for us all really. Everything in moderation is of course the key. My Melody for some reason learned that at such a young age. She "claims" I taught her that, though I don't see HOW as I never lived it out too well when it came to food. But she eats A LITTLE of everything she likes. Just not everyday, and not more than once or maybe twice when she does. She is 5 foot 7 inches and 121 pounds (tiny) and has been for years and years. Maybe it will change for her some day after babies. But for me this season is DIFFICULT to just put it nicely, haha I am still doing my diet, in fact I had a 3 pound (which is rare) loss this week, and while I was happy about that, I am just "grumpy"...Why oh why I enjoy food soo much remains a mystery to me. I am drawn to it for everything. Fun, comfort, excitement, sadness, pleasure and on and on I go. I KNOW it is ridiculous, and so I fight it. I look to Him (daily) and other things for those things and He does see me through, but emotions still remain a problem at times. My total is now 46 pounds. My knees are actually a little better recently in spite of the arthritis...I have more energy...I had to buy new jeans as all of mine were WAY too baggy...someone recently just couldn't believe my 12 year old granddaughter was NOT my daughter (weight is soo aging) all encouraging, good things. And yet, I am fighting and struggling and grumpy. I might be a hopeless case....SIGH....But I have decided it might just be like everything else. I will struggle with this as long as I am here on this earth and in my flesh. I might never arrive at that place where I want to be where food, while tasty and good, is just a way to nourish my body and not something that is in any way an issue for me. It may just be my thorn to keep me humble and dependent on Him. I have NO IDEA why I just wrote you a small book. Can you see what a can of worms this issue is for me? haha Have a GOOD day Debbie, and thanks for this post. I love that there are bloggers on here who can encourage me in the direction I need to continue in with this. You will never know how helpful it is. <br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-62825390758539516632009-12-11T04:52:23.032-07:002009-12-11T04:52:23.032-07:00That video is really good for teens to see.
