2. My Story
 Sixteen years ago I lost 100lbs. I began by walking and
then working out at a gym. I then sought out Weight
Watchers and learned how to balance my nutrition.
 Today I still practice this lifestyle, working out 5
sometimes 6 days a week, resting on Sundays.
 I have since become a Fitness Instructor and a
marathon runner.
 I’d like to persuade you all to see how important being
a good steward over your body helps you to be more
effective for Christ.
