Power and Praise~ No excuses

Hello fellow followers,
Well this is the first chance I have had to blog. My husband was out of town preaching a revival in san lorenzo, so yup I had all three kids by myself the whole weekend.  I missed my stretch workout, but I believe I got my exercise in with putting my 2 year olds bed together. LOL I was sweating up a storm.
     I had to bring it hard today since I didn't workout out on Monday either. Had to pick hubby up at the airport, but I got my walk in at the Chandler mall. Haha!
It's good to be back with my exercises and life back to normal. I really enjoyed todays workout. It was Called POWER AND PRAISE, by BODY GOSPEL. So awesome working on strength exercises.
    Oh yeah So EXCITED! I went on the scale on Saturday and I was finally under 180! Wohoo 179.4 to be exact. It might not be a big deal to you or anybody else but I haven't been under 180 since I had my 4 year old. RESULTS are happening finally from eating right and exercising.

    I did have a cheat meal this weekend. I ate Taco Bell, and boy did it have a bad reaction. I got a really bad headache. I have been eating strictly healthy for so long my body didn't like the bad junk in, even though IT TASTED SO GOOD. Well feel free to comment and please follow me on my blogs to a HEALTHIER LIVING! And remember this doesn't have to be you HAHAHA.  You can live a healthy life! Stay encouraged and believe that Jesus will help you to get the courage to say NO to unhealthy eating, and yes to a better you. YOU will have a clearer mind once you start eating right and exercising. You will be sharper to the things of God and feel better about yourself. I will end with an encouraging Scripture for the day.

Psalm 37:4

King James Version (KJV)

 ⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 31 women of God

I feel so good that I have stuck to my diet and workouts. Today is my 5th day working out to Body Gospel, and the number 1 thing I like about it is, it is not hard at all. Very light in there workouts which is perfect for me since I haven't workout for like 2 years. 


I will leave you all with my favorite chapter in the Bible, that encourages me to do things I may think I don't have time for. If we make time and manage it we can accomplish good health and exercise!
Proverbs 31

31:10		Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
31:11		The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
31:12		She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
31:13		She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
31:14		She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
31:15		She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
31:16		She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
31:17		She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
31:18		She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
31:19		She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
31:20		She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
31:21		She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22		She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
31:23		Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
31:24		She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
31:25		Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
31:26		She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
31:27		She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
31:28		Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
31:29		Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
31:30		Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31:31		Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Day 4 of my 30 day challenge

Hey everyone it's another beautiful day that the Lord has made! I am so thankful to be alive today!s God has been so good to me and my family.
I am still doing body gospel workouts and was a little disappointed that today was only stretching and for only 10 minutes! It felt good while it lasted but I only wish it was at least 30 minutes long. Oh well, I did the rest of my exercise walking around Walmart with my kids. I am so thankful tomorrow is Cardio day again. I really love feeling the burn and the sweat, cuz I know that I am getting all the bad toxins out of my body!
I am so thankful I have had so much energy since I changed my diet. I can honestly say that I havent bought any processed foods for the last Month! Wohoo! This is a big accomplishment for our family as we would always have processed foods in our cart, but now its all natural foods.
Gotta thank God for the small victories. God bless you everyone and feel free to comment and join my blogs. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hmmm should I eat it Nah!!!

Well today I had a great day! Worked out to Body Gospel which is my 3rd Day. I am real sore today, but I honestly can say that I brought it! I am loving all the energy I have been feeling. Also since I have cut dairy products out of my diet, I don't feel have a lot of mucous in my throat. Thank God because this is one thing I struggled with as a kid. I was always coughing and didn't know why. It wasn't until I did the daniel fast for the first time that I noticed, that dairy products did this.

I ran into temptation today, we went to Harrah's buffet for dinner, and I am proud to say I ate nothing but veggies, and rice, and for dessert some fruit! I am determined to lose my first 20 lbs. I feel too great to give into eating unhealthy. To me its not worth it. Well that's all for today.

I leave you with this Scripture of encouragement, if you feel you can't exercise or live healthy just remember this verse, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me!" Phil 4:13 God Bless

Day 2 of being fit

Well today is the second day of my 30 day challenge. I feel so good about myself and today's workout. I completed Body Gospel's Core revelation, and it was altogether pretty good. I felt the burn this morning.

This afternoon I also went for a power walk/run. I want to get my endurance up so I can run in a marathon to raise money for brain tumor awareness. As some of you might not know 6 months ago my son had a massive brain tumor which had to be removed. Thankfully my son survived the surgery with no complications in his health, and it was non cancerous.

This has lead me and my hubby to start eating better and help our kids also, since we don't know if food was the factor that caused my son's tumor. Since then we have been on a journey to eat right and lose weight. I have never felt better in my life. So here's to eating great, and staying healthy. I will be posting some recipes up here as well for those of you that need ideas on how to stay fit and eat clean.

Im Back! And feeling great

Hey people's! Wow it's been too long since I've blogged, but I want to start up again and be faithful. Well I am still on my weight loss journey. Just started up doing Body Gospel this week. Today is Day 1 of the 30 day challenge. I have also drastically changed my diet. So far up to date I have lost 35 lbs since I had my daughter last year in march. I was 215 and now I am weighing in at180. My goal is to be 145 by the end of this year. I am so excited and pumped up!

We are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and eating healthy is just one of the things that we need to do not just for ourselves, but for Jesus! When we don't got junk in our body, we are able to focus more on the things that Jesus wants us to do for his kingdom!
