Nothing worth anything is easy. Thanks to the curse everything takes sweat and hard work! I am resigning myself to working hard to get back into shape! I am admitting to you all that I am not in the shape I was and we need each other to reach our goals.

I am not a fan of Jillian Michael's and I don't promote her lifestyle, but her workouts have made a difference in my physique in the past. This is why her Ripped in 30 video came to my mind this past week.
Some how a pact was made with my hubby over the weekend, and now I am pressing play on this dvd for 30 days!

Well, I didn't quite forget to measure, but with last week being our spring break, I let the measuring slide. We need to measure this week, though. Tomorrow, Friday, is our day to measure for week four and post your point results.

exercise? What have you been doing so far? These are the kinds of things that
motivate me.
When I read what
others are doing, I get inspired and try harder. It is so important that we share

What does being real have to do with fitness and health?
It has been a theme at our school, Brethren Christian High, this year. "Be real with yourself, others and God." How can we apply this to our health? Should we?

Well, anyone who knows me knows I love to talk about being healthy, active and fit! They also know I hate the "D" word... DIET!!! I refuse to say I am on a diet.

Well, it's a little more than a month to summer! If you're anything like me, you may need a push to get exercising and eating healthy again, Or maybe you've been at it and just need that push to go harder and stronger. That next level.

We are just finishing up week one of our Christmas Crunch Challenge. It is easy to start something, but keeping with it is where the success begins. We need many components to reach success, but I believe the greatest is found in 1 Samuel 18:14 in the Bible.

It's that time of the year, when we all start gearing up for Christmas. If you're anything like me, it has sneaked up on you so fast. I realized that in the past I would have already been a couple weeks into our Christmas Crunch Challenge.

Maybe some of you can relate to constant pain. I truly couldn't until this past year when my lower back started to constantly hurt from a combination of being out of whack and walking crooked from a heel issue. I just thought I was going to have to live with this pain the rest of my life.

Well, to be honest, he just beat me last night 6-3 but... there was a time when I was beating him.

Yep, this was me in 2007 and 2009. It took me a year and a half to get 40 lbs off! Following a healthy eating plan (what I call my HEP) and exercising intensly 5-6 days a week. This was just the beginning of My journey.
After duel vericose vein surgery in December 2014, and a major move from Spain to the good ol' USA, I have 15-20 lbs to get back off!

I debated starting another fitness challenge. It has been a tough transition moving from Spain to Florida these past six months, but we are settled now. Still unsure of the future, but we are confident God will work out the details.
Either way, we always need some motivation to get in shape and be healthy. This is a discipline that must be for life.
