Epiphany #23

I am amazed what I have accomplished in just a few days. I began my morning walk/run and have really dug right in. I am pushing myself trying to lose 30lbs in 30days! It's possible. I have kicked my workout into high gear adding extra lap, using a jump rope and a hula hoop. I may add strength training next week, we'll see.
I feel great a lil tired but great none the less. I've cut soda, most juices and dare I say it fried foods out of my diet. (mostly) I'm drinking lots of water and I'm going to pick up some coconut water. (I hear coconut water is like natures Gatorade)'m  I'm also eating more veggies, brown rice and I'm hoping to incorporate more fruit. I've been very lazy this past year allowing hard times to dictate how I treat my body. What a no no. I'm all about getting the best out of my life. I'm not really interested in what people have to say about who I am. I'm comfortable with where I am in life. Looking forward to what is coming with a healthy amount of expectation. What does this next leg of my life have in store for me? I pray it's fun and exciting. I don't believe that life needs to so filled with things to do and responsibilities to been worth living. Not when God's original plan was for us to live in the Garden of Eden...paradise. I'm about to embark upon a new job site maybe in a different field. 
Loving God, loving life and Loving ME!!!!!  

Epiphany #22

So....I've managed to put on a significant amount of weight in the last two years. I know I'm "fat" and have voiced this fact daily for quite sometime. Still somehow my wonderful husband saw fit to point out the fact that I am not my once very slim bodied self of eight years ago. Apparently he is concerned about my health. AAaaawwwwww how sweet : -/ 
My doctor has no new health concerns for me since I gained the weight. (great!) I am personally uncomfortable  with the weight and need to put a little more effort into my "workout" which consists of the hula hoop and lots of meditation. ( I'm contemplating exercising.)  So today I am committing to getting fit! I will get up early Tuesday morning and get to stepping. An early morning walk and no more soda. I might just cut the sugar completely. Whoa sistah take your time... ease your way into this. I will loose 20lbs by september. 
I've got a gut, butt, thunder thighs, double chin and flabby arms too. Having a sale "EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!!!" I am giving the stuff away. 
I can do all things through Christ Jesus...
...and this too shall pass.
I have the Victory!
I will keep you posted.
I need a scale I don't even know what I weigh. How will I know if I loose the 20lbs?? LOL Gotta get a scale.
