Don't be just a hearer, be a doer

OK, I have had it with my weight. So this last week at Church I held up a book called "6 day Body Makeover." I shared with the church, "Lets pretend that the church came to me and said, “Hey Pastor Chuck, you keep talking about getting fit and losing weight, well we bought you this book, body for life, and we are going to give you 6 months off to go and read this book and get into shape. I said let me think about it, OK lets do it. I leave, there is great anticipation. 6 months later I come back and not only have not gotten in shape and lost weight, but I actually gained weight. How would you feel about that? You would say, "Hey, we gave you this time off why didn’t you read the book. I said, "I did read the book, the exercises looked really fun and the food meals look really tasty. I read it, but I didn’t apply it. I came home on Sunday and decided that I was not just going to be a hearer or just a reader but I as going to a doer. I was going to apply what I know what is right to do.

So, I have started my weight loss journey. I just wanted to go on record. My goal is 10% of my current weight. I would like to do this by Easter. I know it is aggressive, but I am desperate. Pray for me, cheer me on, tell me to put down the In and OUt burger. Here I go. I thought I would let you know.
