I had backslidden on my exercising and had been depressed about it for a few months, so I started reading this book expecting to feel guilty and disillusioned about my lack of commitment to something I know is so important.But instead I was encouraged. Ms. Payne gives practical advice on how to get back on track and overcome some of the obstacles that get in the way of all of us - like lack of time, setting realistic goals, and developing a plan of action.Women of Strength also integrates a spiritual message, recognizing that our outward physical body is a manifestation of our inward beauty. By taking care of all aspects of our nature--heart, mind, soul and limb--we can glorify God and stay on the path of a healthy lifestyle.I am encouraged to get back on track. Now I realize, by starting and not condemning myself (which is  really more painful), I can work toward being a woman of strength and even enjoy the process!
