Keep walking...

YOu know one thing i am so sure about right now, is that the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord. At times we do not know why things happen the way they happen, or why we take turns and meet people and go to xool, and have children, or wateva it is that happens in our lifes. Well now i know its its even sweeter when you have Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, why? because the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord

So yesterday, my boss got so busy and could not walk with me between 4 and 5pm, and then we also have the action conference and i was expected to be there by 445pm, so then, i was really devaststed, because i thought to myself, aiwa ka, not again, procastination, and i was not on duty as floor manager so there was no walking around as usual.

So anyway i went home was in bed by midnight, and the old me would have cooked up an excuse like, ah, i went to bed late so haaa, another time. i set my alarm for 615am, before it even went off, i was up, i dressed, took my xool ipod(yes the diploma am doing gives us ipods for a month interval). My son Titi even said, "mum, are you going jogging?" and i said yes son, right now am walking but soon i will be jogging and he giggled, lol!

So the i was praising and brisk walking and sweating and all, then i met these 2 ladies, walking like they were coming to the end of their walk, and then we said good morning, like loyal walkers would do, with smiles on our faces, its a way of acknowleding the job well done. i then continued with my walk, as i was approaching home, i met Priscilla, one of the ladies, i had smiled back at and said hi, then i thought what do i have to loose, let me ask, where and how they walk each morning? She was really nice, she told me they are 3 ladies and they walk every morning from 530am for between 3-5kms a day except sundays, i was eager to ask if i could join then, then she beat me to it, she offered that i join them, WOW. really.

Then i thought tomyself, keep walking Tendai, TendaiWenyasha, when you make a decision on somrthing stick to it, now am waiting to be surprised whom am walking with, am sure one of these 3 women has my breakthru!

However boss lady, i told her wat happened, and she said :Tendai, i need to be serious, lets get going on MOnday", you know wat come monday, whether she walks with me or not i will walk after work and will keep walking..........

Support me

Well i have always known, yes i have, that i was over weight, it did not happen overnight, or because i decided to sit down and say, ohhhh,it would be great if i were over weight. i am not also going to list down the excuses of why, when, how and what happened for me to be this big and well unfit.

i have however realised that i choose to loose the weight, starting now, as i write i have realised that i could have a stroke and die, because i am overweight and unhealthy. I know Maureen and Ntando have my back on this one. It will not be easy i know, and it will take a lot of descipline and dedication, but i want to do this, for myself and my son. If am healthier i will live longer and i will enjoy the blessing of the Caleb descendants.

i want to lose about 20kgs plus by the end of the year, and i know i can do it, if those love me, will help me. i know there are those who will have a lot to say, others might even say, haiwawo anTendai, you will ot get anywhere, but you know what? am so done with this overweight thing, i want out, immediately!

BUT! its a process not an event, and am so starting the processright not, i want to be accountable to all those who care enough. Ok, Tendai, what is the action plan? am glad you asked
my boss and i starting tomorrow will be walking for an hour from 4-5pm, from Celebration centre harare to and fro the race course (to start with). Whne we are fitter, in two weekes time, we will the start our aerobics clases and the trademil. I will be telling you more about this soon, i have to work, please post your support, it would be most welcome....
