Intentional Monday

Look at the rainbow, and praise him who made it; it is exceedingly beautiful in its brightness.

  It encircles the sky with its glorious arc; the hands of the Most High have stretched it out.
                                                                   Ecclesiasticus 43:11

**Photo taken right outside my house ~ the little cowboy told me to grab my camera & come see God's beautiful picture.  He was right ~ look at the awesome colors in this rainbow.

I was taking the little cowboy to school this morning and we had the KFEX (FireEscape Coffee House Radio) 93.1 on.  I love to listen to the morning show and I always feel like it fills me up with a dose of positive before my day begins. 

This morning the radio personality and his wife were discussing how over the past two years the weight he had previously lost (60+ pounds) had gradually crept back on.  He stated that life happened, they moved, he had an injury, etc and the weight gradually crept back on. 

He went on to say that he still had photos of himself sporting his slimmer body on his phone ~ his new goal is to get back down to the size he was a few years ago.  He wanted to start now so he could be where he wanted to be before the holidays and he wouldn't have to set a New Year's resolution.  He would be living it! 

His wife asked him what was the difference back then ~ when he started his weight loss journey.  He said the words that really hit home for me. 

He said, "I met each day with intention".  He intended to eat better, making healthier choices, exercise, and most importantly he intended to see his efforts rewarded on the scale.

What do you intend to see at the end of your Meltdown Journey?  My intention is to see an additional 20 pounds fall off by the end of our 9 weeks of Meltdown!  Set your goal today and make sure to get registered for Neosho County Meltdown!

Registration for Meltdown has begun and our kickoff will be held this Saturday, September 17th from 9-11 a.m. at Neosho County Health Department  320 E. Main Street  Chanute, Kansas 66720!  For additional information call (620) 431-5770.

With love and abundant blessings ~ Stephanie
