So do not throw
away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so
that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has
promised. Hebrews 10:35-36 When I first started gaining weight it didn’t bother me. I was excited; I was finally getting my “womanly” curves. Life got really busy and I stopped focusing on me and my health. Somewhere along the way I took my eyes off the road and my curves took a wrong turn. When I finally noticed the weight I had gained, I opted for a quick fix because I didn’t have time, so I tried the different diet pills without changing my diet. Of course they worked, but then I gained the weight back plus more. By this time my self-esteem was severely wounded and confidence fading. In May 2009 came the final blow, I lost my job. Now I was out of shape and out of work. My confidence was gone and I was stressed out; I was barely hanging by a string. Fortunately that string was tied to my heavenly father and He knew exactly what I needed. Enter Marilyn Marshall and D and M Fitness! Now, exercise was nowhere on my list of things I needed to do, nor did I see how it would help my current situation. But God knows all and sees all. I would work out with Marilyn before beginning my “work day” (searching for a job)! Marilyn was not only my personal trainer but also a spiritual trainer. She would beat my body up with her “last set, best set” but she also lifted me up. Whenever I cried “I can’t do it”, she would shout back, “Yes you can!” It was amazing to see how my body and attitude has
changed. I feel like a new
person. I am not sure who this
person is, she seems a little familiar but I know I like her!
This journey has taught me so much.
My confidence is back, I feel stronger, renewed!
D and M Fitness has truly been a blessing for me and I thank God for
placing them in my life! (Click
