 “ Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever. He knows all, does all: He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down, he provides both intelligence and discernment, He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark – light spills out of him! God of all my ancestors, all thanks! All praise! You made me wise and strong. And now you’ve shown us what we ask for… .” The above were the words of Daniel when the Lord answered a prayer and I am also thankful with the above words today because God had kept me.

Better late than never. I was not feeling too good posting anything on Wednesday after the weigh in because I was up not just a bit, I was up a lot at 168lbs [It's a number I had not seen in a while] as against the last weigh in of 164.6lbs .

I did travel out on a road trip to an event last weekend and of course sitting for long hours of inactivity and the mental stress of the rough roads too (Naija for you). The mental stress contributed to my inability to even lift a finger in my exercise room.

No wonder someone did say "abs are made in the kitchen and not in the gym" , this is a true statement because I saw better results when I paid closer attention to my meals.

What are you thankful for? So I'm here today because God kept me. I'm alive today, only because of His grace. God kept me so I wouldn’t let go There is hope of better days/things to come when we still have breathe in us, a hope of doing a lot more in life is assured only if we are alive. Sustenance of life rests with God. He created food, provides food, makes the food work, even the ability to eat/digest the food lies with God (wonderfully and fearfully created). The digestion starting from the mouth and down till making it beneficial for us is awesomely God, and we need to be thankful for this. There is little we can do to really help ourselves outside God and thus my reason for being thankful to Him today. However, that “ little ” we can do must be of utmost priority, this is where fitness and healthy diet comes in. We need to be conscious of a fact that “toxin” is a part of life in this generation (remember global warming), but in case we cannot ...
