Simply Amazing
Thursday, May 10th, 2007Weighed in today and took my measurements and was highly upset at myself for the lack of progress that was made in past three weeks. I was questioning everything that I have done, what I do and what I plan on doing. In other words I was being down on myself and had the nerve to let head drop to the ground. For the moment I couldn’t find one positive thing about myself.
As I feeling down, I start thinking and it must have been God having me flashback. Remember that middle schooler (me) 7th grade what was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. Now that was a journey. As a kid a someone telling you that u gonna have to take this or you could die. This was my story from then until my 20’s, all I wanted to do is prove that my mind is STRONG and this body will follow, thru the grace God I will be an example!
So back to today 9:20 a.m. I had finally got up the nerve to get that good ol’ physical. The doc was like when was the last time that you had a physical, and i was like shhh when was the last time U had a physical. If since a youngster all you hear is that u got this wrong and that wrong u overweight, ur pressure is this, blah, blah, blah. Yeah Imma hurry to see another doctor. But today was that day new doctor told him about my situation pressure being an issue. So has he examines me, he laughs….I’m thinking to myself Imma slap this dude for real. THen he tells me Mr. Brown you are in excellent health your Blood Pressure IS FINE!
Wow, a total change from when I was that little (BIG) kid not understanding what or how important some things were. I just had to take a step back and remember the whole purpose of me getting involved with this fitness thing was to improve the quality of my life in order to be a witness and help inspire others.
Well that’s one more thing that I have been able to achieve thru His grace! I’ve battled asthma, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, being over 385 lbs 30% fat (NOT sexy). Now to be out run guys half my size, a healthy heart, 319 lbs 16.5% body fat (soooooo SEXY)
So do have the right to trip over LOSING 2 lbs in 3 weeks. Whatever dude. U better look at the record U are the PROOF. Simply AMAZING how God had me when I didn’t have myself.
