Being healthy requires healthy habits

Just as being spiritual requires spiritual habits, being healthy requires healthy habits.

As we complete week six of the Sacred and Fit program we have incorporated several new activities into our daily routines. The continuation of weight loss depends on the continuation of these healthy habits. NO MORE DIETS. This is about life-style eating. No more intermittent exercise bouts. This is about making exercise as much a priority as a church service. No more mindless eating or mindless not-eating. This is about caring for your body as if it were a temple.

Permanent health promoting habits will require that some other not-health promoting habits be kicked to the curb. The price of permanent weight loss and good health may be the loss of some activities that you once enjoyed.  You don’t have to do this cold turkey. In fact the Sacred and Fit program is designed to only introduce you to these health-promoting activities and then to allow you to incorporate what fits your lifestyle slowly over time. Even small steps will get you to your health and fitness goals if you are consistent.

What are you willing to change about your current lifestyle in order to continue your weight loss?  What small steps toward change are you committed to do consistently as a result of this program?

Consider the list of intentions from the Fasting week. Note the items that you felt were answered or addressed during the Fast. In what items did you receive a breakthrough?

Make a list of changes in your life that you would have to make in order to create a healthy life style.  Place a check by those you have committed to change. Place a star by those items that you think would require a dedicated time of prayer and fasting in order to be incorporated into your life.
