Day 38- 2 more days until this 40 day ends. and everything goes back to voting. I had an amazing workout today- I feel really good and charged. its early in the AM and I already have 1/2 my water intake for the day done. I have come to realize that drinking all of my water for the day is so extremely important. When I don't drink all my water I tend to snack and not feel full. It's been amazing to me how much of a difference 1 glass of water can make.
GREAT NEWS- I am down 12 lbs and 10". I can see it in my clothes and my face, body. I can also certainly feel it. Even though there have been alot of challenges these last 2 weeks I see the light I certainly want to continue this journey. I
T is really important i remain focused and on track. My 2 older daughters have been begging if they could come to bootcamp with me- I think they might join us ladies on Friday.
I would really encourage everyone to try the 2 free weeks.If you can FIT it into your schedule do not force it, but if it works try it. I am thankful i had this opportunity it truly has changed my life and I am motivated to finish and to keep going STRONG!!!!
Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by the grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. AMEN!!!

I loved that devotion below that i received today- what a total gift. I love Our Father and how is works and uses everything around us to let u sknow he is there even in the darkest hours. I have 2 sick little ones at home. Had my 1 yr old at ER sunday night- I was worried about his breathing. Turned out no pneumonia just upper respiratory infection. All the kids are home this week. My 2 oldest really want to come to bootcamp with me this week- they have been dying to come and do one class since i started this journey. It's a beutiful day today and even though the 2 little ones are sick i think we may go out for a walk.
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- February 16, 2010:
Take courage and lean on My strength to keep moving through the difficulties that you face. You need to be patient and trust Me to lead, guide, direct and protect you at this time. Do not despair when you do not seem to have what it takes to deal with current issues. Ask, and I will give you wisdom. This too shall pass, and new focus and clarity will come forth like the first rays of sunshine of a new day. Keep looking up, says the Lord.
Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I'm lost and hurting deeply todau- my 15 yr old ran away. my 13 yr old when weighed at the dr office before surgery she weighed in at over 200 lbs. my 2 little ones are really sick. and this is final week of bootcamp. in my first video i said one goal was to finish- right now i don't feel like finishing. I feel like this is all too much - see i focused too much on me and look what happened. my kids need me- their life depends on it- there's all the proof right there smacking me in the face. yet here is this challenge- no one truly cares- no one is commenting- or suporting- is a lifetime to this bootcamp worth this sacrifice? this is me being real and being hurt and talking from my heart that really aches right now.

Isaiah 58:11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

It's week 5- wow this time has flown by. Celebrated my son's 1st birthday on saturday. my mother in law was in town for the weekend. Oldest daughter was at church camp. Kids are all out of school next week- mid winter break. my 1 yr old finally feels better- he was really sick last week. Praying this week the pain in my arms/neck goes away or eases up a little. that my husband and I get a super good awesome nights sleep with no kids or dog waking up in the middle of the night. Pryaing for the other ladies- remain strong and healthy. Hope folks are enjoying this weather it was a tad bit cold this morning but now the sun is out and it appears to be warming up. Remember- it's not about US- it's about HIM! How do you show his Glory/Light through you!
Ecclesiastes 11:7-8 (The Message) Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine! Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days and that most of what comes your way is smoke.

I shall not want
Anyone out there?
I feel like I am talking to myself when I come here and there are no comments.
I haven't done my video for Week 5 yet. Maybe on Friday. Monday I needed to leave the second class was over and didn't have time to wait to do the video. Today well I overslept. I woke up and my clock said 6:14. Because Boot camp is about 30-45 minutes away I knew I wouldn't make it to the workout. Which i was bummed- disappointed- depressed. That upon the injuries. My left calf is still bothering me. My neck and nerves are reeking havoc on my arms and hands(numbness, tingling) so I have to be careful. No weights and limit my exercises.
Good news though I weighted myself and I am down 10 lbs and down 8" I can feel it in my clothes and the way i walk and stand. I am feeling lighter. it's great.
My son is feeling better but still waking up coughing and hacking at night so my husband and I was still not getting sleep- I think the most we get is 3-4 hours. We are exhausted. drained. It's hard to be motivated to workout when you can't even function to do daily living things.
4 more bootcamps to go then we go to voting.
Have a great day everyone
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Week 5 Force and Fit
We started Week 5 of the 40 day Health and Fitness challenge. I am almost looking forward to it being over.
What I have been discovering is I am trying way to hard to "force"things into my schedule and family life, what God is showing me is to stop forcing and only allow those things in that "fit"
What a concept huh? It's hard though. I don't want to let others down, I don't want to fail, if others can do all this why can't I. The truth for me is I don't think others do it successfully or without sacrifice. I know alot has to be given up.
The workouts 3 days a week leaving the house at 5:45/6am to get to Shoreline by 6:30am and then made dash out of there at 7am to make it home by 7:30/7:45am. Trying to fit in Olympus Spa, Body by God (Puyallup) and more exercise. I think there just has to be an easier and more simplier way to do this.
Once the challenge ends I think I will do my workouts at home- get up at 6am and workout for 30 minutes. There would be alot less stress and pressure.
God certainly has shown me alot during this challenge and alot of things have changed. I am looking forward to having peace back in our lives.
