A late night

I was out until 3am last night. Just hanging out with friends and truly laughing. It was so great!
.........................But I didn't make it to the gym at 6am. I'm going after work, but I can tell how much better morning workouts are for me.

I had a great workout yesterday. I feel so good when I workout. My day goes better and my time in the word is amazing.



I came to a realization that this all part of God's design in my life. He needed to show me that he can do anything through me if I did my part of putting forth effort.



"Didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Didn't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some property belonging to the Spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." 1 Cor 6:19-20 (The Message)



This passage has so many meanings, people usually point it out to girls when they are dressed bad. But the truth of it is that we the fast food nation also need to look at this for being over weight and not exercising.



We can only live life if we follow all aspects of what God had asked us to do, and that is to present out temples and pure and healthy.



Go back to our roots, put into our body only what is needed and in moderation!! Stop over eating, gluttony is a sin too!

Workouts have been good and results have been great. Now I just have to figure out my eating. I think I need to plan my meals better or at least my snacks. I need to have stuff at work that is fresh to eat. 

Today is Christmas so I didn't get to go to the gym. But I did well eating besides the 5 coconut balls and 2 scoops of peppermint ice cream!!!

So I have been losing a little at a time. It is exciting, but my whole life I have gone up and down 5 lbs weekly. So I'm not going to get to excited about it.

I have spent the last 2 mornings in the gym. It is so much better than feeling crappy all day. And I thought that I would be all tired at night. But I still had so much energy that I could barely sleep!!

Let's see how this week goes....I did make it a full 45min cardio today. Before today I could barley do 30. I spent 33 on the sitting elliptical and 12 on the treadmill.

Feeling good.

Back to where I started. I have done 2 days of full workouts in a row and I feel great, a little sore but great!!

253.5

I told you I loved chocolate and coconut!

I ran for 8min straight at 4.5 mph. I have never done that before. 

I also did a total of 30min of cardio, I only hope to be able to do more.

All gone

The chocolate and coconuts are gone!! PTL although I was the one that ate them all, now I will not buy any more.

I went to the gym last night and did weights again. It went really well. But the SLEEP MONSTER struck again. I couldn't get out of bed this A.M. and barely made to work. My schedule is crazy and I know fitting in work outs will only be a benefit, but it will be hard to do so. I'm going in at 4pm today....Cardio!

I love chocolate and coconut

And that is not good when you are trying to lose weight. I can never eat just one, I need a dispenser that would only give me one a week. Then I need to learn to take very little bites until the next one comes.

I have not been back to the gym in 5 days. Mainly b/c I got sick and well didn't feel like it.

My plan was to rise early to go workout, but that was foiled by the SLEEP MONSTER. He would rather I stay in bed.

So I'm going between work and volunteering tonight. Tomorrow I will rise early!!

Sleep Monster you are a loser!

1st work out

Yesterday was my 1st work out. It was good I just did the weight training and I'm a little sore today but not much. I'm looking at three days of cardio and 3 of weights. Today I can't fit it in to go, not that I don't want to but life is busy. I'll be back tomorrow and then find the best routine for next week.

I felt really good after lifting, now to get my diet on track and I will be pretty set.

Day one

Yesterday I went in to the Riverview Fitness center and had a fitness assessment.
I had to do things like walk on a treadmill while it was gradually inclined to 17%.
Do a leg press and rate it's difficulty.
Prove that I was flexible.
And be weighed and measured.
I didn't look at the measurements but the weight hit me in the face 251.4, I knew it and have for a while but I'm so sick of the struggle and ready to be taught how to successfully lose weight. My BMI was 37.4% yes that is obese. Almost 40% of my body is FAT....yuck!
I know I can lose weight, I just have to truly try. So this is the beginning of truly trying.
Lord help me!
