I completely believe that the LORD led me to pursue the Restore program in order to realign my life in the area of health and fitness. I was totally consumed by the sin of gluttony and my body reflected the consequences of that sin. I basically did not exercise at all. Remarkably, my health in general did not reflect my very bad behavior. My cholesterol and blood pressure were low. Yet, I knew that I was on the cusp of spiraling into very bad health (I am 48 years old) and taking my husband (66 years old) with me. Through much prayer and the inspiration of my best friend (who is still on the Restore Program), I made the call that would change this area of my life. I have lost 17.5 pounds, 5 inches in my waist, and 4.5 inches in my hips. My husband has lost 32 pounds. I have a long way to go and I still pray for perseverance to run this race. My coach has inspired me to realize that "Exercise is Fun"! I thank Matt White for being so extremely encouraging. Matt educated me in the area of physical fitness and I am sure that I drove him crazy with my 90's VCR exercise videos. I have tried many new exercises, watched multitudes of videos, listened to almost every audio, and read every item (and then some) in my Restore assignments. I guess to sum it all up; I see things from a new perspective. I am healthier. I eat great and I don't feel slighted. I am always full. I make better choices. I thank Matt and the Restore Program. But mostly, I thank my God and to Him I give all the glory for any success--past present and future!
