Nature's gift from GOD!!

 Philippians 2:14-15"Mode"

As I woke up today, I didn’t feel the need to stay motivated. Instead , I wanted to do just the opposite and sulk in NONSENSE failures. After about 12:30ish , I realized that not only was I wasting my minutes and time, but I was also being a BRAT. A year ago , I complained for not having enough time off from work. I had wished for greener grass. And now faced with it , I couldn’t remember that I had just gotten what I had wanted.  Therefore why am I still finding fault from my deck of cards??

As a result, for not being motivated I ran to the Post Office, Filled up my tank with gas, Ran to the gym for what I call fusion ( I will explain at a later time) …ran to quick local grocery and whipped up dinner for my mom. From this moment and going forward I have decided to remind myself to find something that motivates me. Strength, Accomplishment, & deep Gratitude are my main reasons to keep going. I find strength in my natural-born abilities. I appreciate the legs on my body that allow me to run. Next , I give joy to My heart beating steady to keep me alive. I thank God for my family and friends.

Facing My Fears Part I

Aug 24 2011 Facing my fears

Part I:

It’s true, This is my year of facing many of my fears or confronting them head on.

For if fear didn’t exist ,there would be a world of endless POSSIBILITIES. So why is it we feel afraid?

Okay so I Just joined a kickboxing club to take my fitness to the next LEVEL & I couldn't be more jazzed. ( Just saying) I love the challenges that it presents and I love to make new friends .

Prior to my first workout, I thought I was in shape, but I’ve been corrected. My biggest goal is to lose 40 lbs! It sounds ridiculous. But I’m only 5”4” and maybe ½ also. I am a fitness & health advocate & definitely need to look the part. So, 165lbs is not cool; at least not for my dimensions.

After getting my Body Fat % measured, I’ve Committed to get extremely closer to my end goal by the end of October. With all considerations I might be even more critical to myself. My body measurements were not too bad. I can’t say I’m too dissatisfied. My ideal weight would be around 135, that’s where I’m most comfortable.

Most of my company is shocked when they hear the # on the scale, so I guess I’m not in the worst physical appearance. Additionally I’m pretty keen on hiding behind fashion, so it’s whatever.

So here’s the game plan; I could not think of a better way to do it than to join a place that gets excited about EXTREME workouts. I get it! It’s not for everyone. What is even more awesome is that going into week 3 I’m -9lbs . It’s REFRESHING.

I've been praying for an opportunity like this for various reasons and paaazah! - there it is, EXTREME KICKBOXING it is….among other things to follow.

Thank God, for giving me the Strength and Energy to not only try it but also DO it !!!!!

In order to flourish or grow, we must acknowledge all of our weaknesses or at least know that they exist so that we can take it in stride and conquer them. My Lesson of the year or Theme of the year is to not be such a big chicken about everything & just go ahead and jump in the deep end of the ocean.
