Day 1: New Fitness Program and Healthy Choices

This is for Thursday, 06/28/12 (posted this late )
Day 1:

Healthy Choices: Whew.....so far this week I've been cutting down on sweets. But yesterday I really cut down and challenged myself to say "No". Even coming from church last night I had a challenge. I'm so used to going in the fridge and grabbin something sweet. So, I opened the fridge, like usual, but remembered "Hey! We are changing our eating habits and it starts now!" I kind of did what a little one would do when you tell them no they can's have somthing.."Hhhhmmmm". So I shut the door, opened the cabinet and remembered I had some kettle corn for kids from Fresh and Easy. They have no artifical flavors, colors, or preservatives, made with 100% whole grain and come in small packages. Only 65 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, and 3 grams of sugar. So not bad, it satisfied that craving. I was going for the frosting the first time, so glad I said No. But boy that was hard!

Fitness Program: I will be doing  "Turbo Fire", a sweet sis recommended it to me. Thanks Girl!! And I did some research on it and loved it! Chalene Johnson is the founder of Turbo Fire, Turbo Kick and Turbo Jam. I was really excited about it because there are so many transformation stories, from all ages and sizes. It's for everyone. They use the HIIT program High Intense Intrevals Training.

This morning I started her starter video, they send it to once you sign up to get you pumped for the DVD's before they arrive. I was only able to do 1/2 of it. But it's ok, it's a start right. I will be finishing it tonight. I'm really looking forward and can't wa it until it arrives. It will get my body in the mind set at what's it's about to embarq. Update: I did the whole video last night and it was amazing!!! My oldest joined me and she liked it to.

Encouragement:

Learning to say No!!!

Learning to say No!!!

Why is it so hard to say no to those foods that look and taste sooo delicious, but are soo bad for you? Well I wish I had that answer for you but I don’t. But I know someone who can help you with the temptation. His name is JESUS, He is the author and finisher of our faith. When we are struggling with tempation the bible says in Phil 4:13 that “we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us.” And it also says that..."No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

 

So the next time you are tempted with food call on the Lord and say "Lord this is too hard to bare." This food is tempting me right now, help me to choose to eat something that is going to benefit my body and not harm it. Then grab something healthy to eat. If you work or at home, make sure you have some fruit or nuts on hand to much on. Chug a glass of water, this also helps you fill full. After, you’ve prayed and asked God for the strength and grabbed a healthy snack you will see that you don’t crave or want that food anymore. Now if you still do, because it’s happened to me. Pray again, and continue to pray until the temptation is gone.

Yesterday night I was tempted by doughnuts and lollipops. But I had remembered that if I am going to change it starts now. It was hard at first, but i just thought at how much I will have to burn that off tomorrow. It wasn't worth it, and it was bad for me.

In His Hands,

My Faith and Health Journey

Welcome to "My Faith and Health Journey Blog"!! I started this blog to be able to share my journey with my health and weightloss and encourage others who might be going through the same struggles I have been going through all my life.

This will also help me stay accountable, it's different when you put it down. It's permanent, I'm tired of saying I'm going to do something and not follow through with it. I know I'm not the only one that struggles with that, especially in trying to eat right and exercise.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you come back soon! I love encouragement so any you can give would be great. Any tips or exercise routines or recipes please share.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2

In His Grace,
