Today is resting day so the scripture for today comes from Proverbs 3:24 which says, "If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet." I will not be afraid to lie down and rest for it will happy, refreshing and sweet so I will be full of energy! God is awesome and I will listen to HIS WORD. Sorry today is so short and sweet, Resting comes with being removed from things that normally keep you busy from resting. So til next time! God Bless, Keep Smiling and Rest!

You Lack Nothing, so Nothing is Impossible

Hello to all! After being under the weather sort of speak, I am feeling so great now! I have so much joy and happiness today, and I slept real good too! Here is the scripture for today, which comes from Psalm 23:1, which says, "The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing." You are so right Father, I lack nothing! Thanks to you I can do all! My days was so busy so no workouts til night time but it was worth it. I tell you I was suppose to normally be tired at the time, I have usually low energy at night seeing how I use more of it during the day with the kids, so...I did the first workout--quick, fun and hard work, working the but is hard to me because you move alot of your other body just to get to the butt muscle so yes it was fun but was it hurt, amazingly enough not so much, I was able to do my second workout which was 45 minutes, and yes it was real fast, have no idea where the time had went. So, a lil whisper in my head said "do another" ...I am thinking "another one"..."sounds great"...I did the third one...and I ended up doing a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes straight and it was so much fun and so great!! I could only had a smile on my face because I was proud of myself for accomplish this when I had did any workout in nearly a week because of the cold. Yes, so I tell you again I say or the Bible says, "I lack nothing"....indeed I dont lack NOTHING because with "God ALL things are possible" so I must say if I can do one, two, even three workouts--which I challenged and pushed myslef to strive for what I want to be better, then you can too!!! God Bless and Keep Smiling!

No Matter Storm I Will Still Fly High

Hello to ALL! I must start this blog with a scripture that fits perfect for the way I am feeling right now! It comes from Jeremiah 33:6, which says, "'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I had to take a few rest days because of this cold that decided to come back. I know and so believe in ym heart that Jesus was whipped for my healing just like HE died on the cross for my and everyone elses sins. So, "...by HIS stripes I am Healed!" (was healed over 2000 yrs ago) So, this cold can leave NOWWWW!! Haha, yea as you see i am very tired of this unwanted visitor. It keeps me up all night coughing so I gotta find a way to keep it awake all night to sort of speak, lol. So, I havent did any workout, ran or anything form of exercise since wednesday night! wow, scarey to read that..no workout thursday, friday, or saturday, and today doesnt count because sunday is resting day--sabbath day! God worked 6 days a week then rested on 7th, so I will always whether Im not feeling well or not, NO workout or work sundays! So today is 4 blog days in 1. I must stress when not feeling well it is very important to rest because you need to be at your 100% or it you will not be trying your best! I am so excited to do the next workouts, and once I get a little better and stop coughing I will begin running on my treadmill again because as of 2 week of march I will be running outside again three days a week (m-w-sat)! The saturdays will be extra special because my 9 yr old son wants to run with me in the 5k, so he will be starting to run on saturdays with me to prepare for the 5k in June, funny thing is he is already a great runner just have to teach him how to pace himself! God Bless and Keep smiling !

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves!!

Good morning to all!! Today scripture comes from Proverbs 31:8 which says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. " I am to say that by me blogging I am speaking my voice to be heard, what I went through far as my weight, eating and physical appearance to now eating healthy, working out, having goals and acheiving them. I will speak through my blog to others, tell you that if I can do this--meaning beating my hard past from weight issues and now making goals such as running my 1st 5k and blogging my progress til I acheive it!! HERE ME ROAR!! YOU ALL CAN DO IT TOO! I was having slight challenges today, slightly getting heartburn from drinking coffee and eating chocolate cake! Though both good, they both arent the best for me training for my 5k, so as of friday, caffeine, bad sugars, white flours will be removed from diet. I wanna feel better before, during and after working out or running! I had two workouts I have never done before, they were fun and very chanllenges but I must say I wasnt fully prepared! I need to get new workout gear! The lose of inches on chest and waist has it made it difficult to say, to give it my full best when Im not fully supporting, defintely need proper workout attire especially since you lose inches or weight! Well I better go, time to cuddle with my kiddos! God Bless and Keep Smiling!

Rest Your Wings

What a great day! Happy Sabbath day to ALL! It is the day of rest! Here is the days scripture which comes from Genesis 2:2 and says, "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." Yes exactly HE/God worked 6 days a week, then took a day of rest! I will do that too! It is a great morning, as usually its hectic, getting ready for church, but finally getting to church is the best. Time to Praise and Worship! I give thanks to God for all HE does for me and my family! HE even gets me through the hard times, so I still praise HIM. Today, the kids and I will have a quiet but fun together, playing games and baking things together! Maybe making each other laugh and smile! I have learned that you are so consumed with life that 1. you forget who gave you this life, that you forget to give thanks and give that day a rest to even yourself as HE did! 2. With rest, enjoy your family, a perfect day is sunday, movies, baking, arts n crafts, games, and even outdoor activities--as long as God is included in all the enjoyment. Which HE is for my family! I look forward to sunday afternoons, we read, playing Wii, computer, or board games, we bake together, go outside, or just dance while any above listening to our favorite gospel and christian music! So today is rest your wings day, for there is more to see and enjoy when you rest your wings! God bless and keep smiling!

I did overall work on all my body but specifically my Abs and Butt were worked on. The Hard Core Abs is one of my favorite, not having to sit on the floor to do ab workouts is great! Plus, with doing it for 2 weeks now, I see a small glimpse of lines on my upper abs showing up, i mean it isnt a huge notice but I do know and I feel a difference. Its an awesome workout and it forces my body to work together, i move other parts of my body to workout my abs, it great! Now with my second workout! Booty Time, yes a lil funny name! but yes it is booty time! There are so many moves and hard core muscles in my butt that seems to not be put to use, because WOWY it so hurts when I workout my butt. I finally learning most of the moves, which it makes it more fun! During the workout it does hurt, but I smile through the pain. Today is the last day of my 2 weeks of this workout! I start day 3rd week next week. I did my weigh in yesterday and I lost 2 inches of waist and 1.5 inches off my arms and thighs!! YAY! I feel great, workng hard and being being consistent is paying off! I am not afraid, for the Lord is always with me! Whether IDK if he actual works out with me or just cheers me on, I know HE is there so I know that HE is my muse! With the Lord all things are possible and It leaves no room for doubt or Fear! I will continue to soar through the Clouds, getting closer to acheivement! God Bless and Keep Smiling!!

Flying As One During All

Good morning to all! Here is the scripture for today comes from Psalm 39:10 which says, " Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand." I dont have to explain this!! Powerful words!! Just reading it out loud! I AM OVERCOME BY THE BLOW OF YOUR HAND!!!! I am working hard on my workouts, and overcoming all negative feedback or thoughts, keep pushing forward! Another new workout today! I had to stop and rewind a few times again!! Lets say I love rewinding and doing it over and over again, I learn the steps properly and feel great with the routine and at the end of the workout!! These workouts are helping my other body parts become strong so when I start running long distances again then my body will all run together as one! Hmmm, like the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit!! Be one with GOD is an awesome feeling, when I run--I feel HIM gliding me with HIS wings to the finish line!! I cant wait til that finish line in June is accomplished!!! God Bless and Keep smiling!!

Flying Free Towards The Horizon

Hello, What a great morning~~ Scripture of the day is found in Psalm 119:13 which says, "Praise be to you, LORD; teach me your decrees." I will look to you oh Lord!! All I do is brought to your attention first! All your strength and courage, will and determination, devotion and love comes from you!! ALL that I am, is because of you! THANK YOU! I am slightly stiff but did an awesome job in my workout today, a new workout had me feeling the soreness, and I must admit I had to rewind it a couple times because I was determination to do it the right way, not so sloppy, it just helped me work harder! I love improving and dance moves, a love challenges! So, now that the pain is barely here, I will now began to start running again! Treadmill saturday night couldnt come any faster! I am real tired of these challenges silly colds and pain getting in the way of me moving forward, especially since were not helping closer to my acheivement! No more!!! I am free to soar like an eagle once again! I learned to press through the pain just enough not to give up that I found out it made me become stronger!! God Bless and Keep Smiling!!

Driving Through The Wind Pays Off

Blessings to all! I feel so determined to beat this pain I am in!! Scripture for the day comes from Proverbs 12:22 which says, "The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy." well, I am healed and have been no more than 2000 years ago because of Jesus Christ! That is no lie! My mouth will speak the way I feel. So, PAIN be gone NOW in the Name Of Jesus Christ! I will push forward and do my very best. I will do HIS work and believe and trust in HIM all the time. So, doing my workout at first was a little in tense for the first few minutes because I heard a little crack some what in my hip, not bad though. Then once I got going the back was gone completely, just moved the pain to the right hip. That was mild too! I was able to push through all my workout with smiles and sweats! I endure all pain and discomfort because at the end I felt most wonderful and loved the way my body felt which made me smile! I love that so much!! The workout was incredible and gets better everyday I do it! The only time I actually feel discomfort is when I sit straight for to long or I bend over wrong. I know I am healing because I feel so wonderful in my body! I give all thanks and glory to God!! God Bless and Keep Smiling!

Unconditional Song and Dance In The Sky

Hello and Good Morning! Well today to say the least is still sore! I wont give up!! Scripture for the day is Ephesians 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV) 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. I will indeed share the promise of God with others!! Today is another taking it easy day! I did my workout, again hardly any problems what so ever during workout, its after with sitting and laying that makes it frustrated! I wont stop being myself, the love of dancing and glorifying God, having fun while working out my body! It will Never stop! My body was made for peace and joy yes, but your body was also meant to move and rejoice in song and dance!! Live it up I say! since I dont have limitation in my feet, legs, and body the show will go on and I will keep doing what I love to do, including working out with a little pain that is so minut to me! Like I said the other day dont over do it and seek help if you need to but know its ok to bear with the pain a little and move forward it will be such a great feeling and reward when accomplished!

Loss of a feather Doesn't mean loss of a Flight!

Good morning to all! What a morning it has been--first here is today scripture thats fits my day! The scripture comes from Jeremiah 33:6 which says, “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I woke up with a joyful heart and smile this morning and so stocked for what kind of day will come! As I began to get up this morning and walk, I felt a crack in two places in my lower back! I wasnt paying to much attention to it! Now if you have pain, make your best judgement! If you can work though it fine but if it hurts to much dont endure a workout, first seek kingdom of God because HE redeemed you of complete healing over 2000 years ago, then after talking to God, if in agreement go talk to your physician about it. So, anyways I begin my workout knowing I have lower back pain, and you know what, I dont feel nothing, no pain what so ever! I am thinking this is awesome, this pain is nothing and I will continue to work though it! Needless to say I did complete the Rock it OUT workout without any problems. Sitting down and relaxing was the issue, then it was walking. It was weird. So, no running again for me, which is so upsetting but I know I cant run if it hurts so I will rest it off the rest of day and try again in the morning to see what happens! So, if I know in my heart that I can surpass this pain (where it isnt major pain) through a workout that gives me no force that I know I will not give up to my destination of acheivement. God has great plans for me and I wont sit here and wait! God Be with everyone!! Take Care and Smile Big!!

Flying Through The Wind Is So Much Fun!!

Hello and what a great day it is! Today scripture comes from Matthew 23:5 which says, “Everything they do is done for people to see:..." Today is the day of rest and it couldnt come any faster! Doing this new set of workouts is honestly hurting in a fun way, I mean, I am feeling the pain and soreness in me right away but when its time to relax I am using every minute to do that just rest! TODAY IS THE SABBATH DAY.... This is what I have learned the first week of my new workout! Well I can say I do my workouts in privacy of my home by myself but I love to tell my testimony of weight loss, workout journey and training for this 5k, so it will inspire others to do the same and have confidence!! It seems that ever since starting the new Shaun T workouts that my confidence has been so much better! I love these workouts, they are fun, they push me to drive harder and more which intells make me feel so good at the end of the workout. It has been a relief to do these workouts, I mean I get a better feeling when I do these workouts instead of the others. I do know the other workouts did help in their own way to get where I am today but Shaun T's will for sure get me farther then when I was before. I have been pushing myself to the limit and it has been so much fun doing it! It is so nice to express myself who I am in dancing, I am not in any way a professional dancer but I have love to dance since I was real little, mom would say it was right after I started to walk, who know shaking those hips, haha! I am a natural! Sometimes flying through the Wind is so much Fun!! I know it seems hard at times when starting a new workout and pushing through the pain, but in the long run it is such an awesome choice because seeing your smile on your face is the best reward!! TTYL, God Bless & Keep Smiling!

Acheiving A Goal Makes You A WINNER!!!

This is the 3rd day with Shaun T and his workout! I tell ya! WOWY! First Shaun T's dance party ___I love it, and mixing dance with workout is genius. Come on dancing is a workout all by itself, so more power to you Shaun T and thanks! Most moves I was able to do quickly, tho just a couple I have to learn as time goes by. Before my body parts werent always being pushed to their fullest level but with these workouts they are ALOT!!! I am feeling enthusiasm, dedication, drive and fun with this workout! I am really sore after todays workout....It hurts to move or walk..lol I love it because I will feel so much better tomorrow and after I acheive my goal. I had worked my hard core abs today again...ooohhh weeeee!! It wasnt by all means simple, my abs began to hurt immediately!!BY the end of the workout, my chubby belly hurt like bricks! I have learned whether I am doing this blogging for my first 5k fo9r myself or am I actually blogging to make a difference? It would be so cool to acheive a great goal on this 5k race and win a medal or ribbon. YOu see I am not in this race to be MZ. Popular, I am here to congrats myself for acheiving this goal, and express to others that they can do their best and that I am too proud of them whether they won a medal or ribbon or just acheived a goal. That acheivement of just running a first 5k is a medal or ribbon all by itself!! "Knowing that I can make a difference is all that matters to me!!" YOU ARE A WINNER NO MATTER WHAT!!

Flight towards Bright Horizons

Hello and greeting to all wonderful people following here! Whether there is one or more , I want to express my gratitude for reading this! Thanks! Today is a another great morning to wake up too! Here is the scripture for the day, it comes from: Psalm 119:130, "The entrance of your words give light; It gives understanding to the simple. That means it literally is a "opening" that is, their exposition gives "light" or direction in life! I am on my 2nd day of Shaun T's workouts and I can say I LOVEEEEE IT still! No pain so gain! I love feeling the intensity of the workouts, I feel instant feelins and soreness in my body when doing them. I love the fact with Body Gospel I became understanding with my temple/body that God gave me that one and foremost I must give THANKS, 2. I must take care of what HE gave me. I love over 8 inches because of Body Gospel and I am greatful, though never reached my goal. Hence starting Shaun T's, I love the dance workouts and I have fun with them...it will definitely move me forward in a great direction and I so know I will break and acheive another goal of mine real soon. Doing the Party Express was awesome, it sure was fun and it was intense, I literally felt so IMMEDIATELY!!!! The 2nd workout for for the booty, butt, yes, I rarely work it out, lol, its also another conversation that I rarely talk about or even workout. So, when doing this work out, WOWY!!! IT was so fast and painful, I managed to keep up, kind of fun, but my booty was real sore after!! It was so weird I dont think I would feel my abs hurting so much I feel they shrunk, lol I dont know. I love the feeling after the workout tho. In the workouts my legs were tightening and cramping so much, you can tell its been a while since i have really use them. Now, been thinking after this first week, I will be adding my running back in with workouts, whether its on treadmill or outside. So, sunday the resting day and monday will be bringing back the running. I looks like so far Monday and Wednesday will be my only running time outside and tuesday and thurday will be running on treadmill, as friday-sunday will be resting day!! Well have a bless day and talk to you soon!!

Strength and Courage to Fly Again!

Today is a new day, a new me, a new workout!! A new sort of things are springing up and it feels great! Scripture for today can be found in: Proverbs 12:18, "...but the tongue of the wise promotes health." WOW, that is powerful to me! THe power of the words that you say with your tongue and out of your mouth determines how you, your mind, and body feel. If you speak blessings to your body, your body will stay blessed and healthy the way God intended it to be, if you speak cursing to your body and let negative thoughts take over your will feel exactly that. I have learned that and it depends life or death! Havent you heard the saying, "The power of life or death is in your hands!? It is sooooo true! That is another way of me preparing and train for this 5k because as long as my thoughts and words line up with the blessed and healthy way I feel...I will continue to feel GREAT and JOYFUL the way I do! Waking up this morning with so much JOY in my heart, it moved me forward in another direction, a more positive direction on my path to this training of this 5k. POSITIVE AND JOYFUL ALL THE WAY! I had barely looked at my new workout, Shaun T's workout to be exact for only 10 minutes and I decided to start..It just looked so fun and there was dancing on there which I love; so, all the better, a dancing workout is exactly what I have been looking for! I feel free again!!! As I pushed through the first of two wrokouts I have to do, I was feeling the sweat, the muscles and joints moving, they were hurting in a good way, it was awesome! I love to actually feel my abs moving. Even working my butt was hard because the workouts were fast and intense...it hurt to sit for a little while!! I found a perfect scripture for the way I am feeling right now after this workout. It comes from Psalm 150:4, "...Praise HIM with the trimbel and Dance." Take Care and God Bless!

Away In Warm Nest

Hello, From Januray 28,201-January 31, 2012 I was having the best few days. I had just got over a cold a week our so prior to this and I was losing my voice with still ear pain again, then to also mention having hip pain. So, I was forced to rest once again. No workout or running! I even did minimal house work. The challenges that come with training for something as a 5k just comes to show that nothing comes easy. It definitely hasnt been a piece of cake to train for this 5k. between weather, colds, and pains. It comes a little frustrating. I will never give up though!! I have been doing more resting and thinking than anything else in these last few days. It is amazing when you take time away from lifes business, you stop to smell the flowers or coffee, whatever your fortay is. I can sit down more often and hear God talking to me so much more. It is amazing!! I make more time for my Father God, and everything, I mean EVERYTHING just falls into place!! HE is just so amazing. If it wasnt for God I wouldnt even be here. I have did alot of realizing each day to day issue I may have with my life, my family, my training...wahtever it maybe God has placed the answers infront of me. In the most important book ever, The HOLY BIBLE!! Now, I am not sitting here discussing God and HIS WORD to bore you or turn you away from my blog, I am here obviously blogging my feeling and my ways through this training and GOD is foremost number in my life and HE will be along side of me in the 5k race when I run. Just like HE is with me now with life and my training. Here is a wonderful scripture that best desribes the way I am feeling!!! Psalm 139:23-24 New International Version (NIV) 23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Well, reading this warms my heart immensely!!!! Well, tomorrow will be a brand new day! Everyday is a new day, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is near and fresh! God Bless!
