last hello

Hello ladies...I was doing great on the first half of the challenge.  I tried to increase my exercise out-put too fast and had a set-back.  I have been doing much better in general and hope to keep up with water and exercise and improve on my food choices.  Looking forward to the Spring challenge.  See you then.  I do prefer the blog as it is very difficult to read all the entries and comments on fb.  

I remember everyday that it isn´t enough just to exercise and be disciplined, I must exercise spiritually first and walk in the Spirit daily. Meditating on his Word is an exercise, but more than that it is the most essencial! www.goodmorninggirls.org

 is a great devotional site. My sisters here and my exercise buddies are going to be reading and studing Ephesians together. Join us and post treasures about your spiritual journey, too. God has given me a desire to be the best I can be for His Glory. Praying for gentleness, meekness, diligence, discipline, and flexibility when needed. Keep on, ladies! For His Glory! - Dani

So Long Post for Annie L

Hello Ladies,

After prayer and godly council, I am dropping out of this challenge. I do not have time to post with the responsibilities of my family and I have not done as well with my personal goals of health and weight loss while on this challenge. I am setting my points to zero to give some hope of winning to some of you ladies who benefit from this challenge.

QUICK NOTE

Ladies, Just a quick reminder: 

In order to count it for exercise, your heart rate must elevate. Fast walking, non- stop sport, or if there are longer pauses in your exercise routine ( heavy chores, cleaning ect), please subract this time. 

I personally try to have my heart rate up over 100bpm to count it as exercise. If you don´t have a heart monitor, you should feel your heart and your breathing excelerate inorder to count it as exercise. 

Thank you, 
Dani Joy

Day 14 Post for Annie L

Hi Everyone!

I had to go 100 miles down the mountain to shop today so it wasn't a great day. I had a grapefruit for breakfast after exercising and drinking a qt of water with lime. I drank another qt of water when I returned and a few glasses on the road. The really bad thing is that my children wanted to eat at Subway so I got a baked chicken sandwich with veggies. I got their whole grain bun, but I am sure it had sugar in it. I only lost 1 pound this week. For dinner I ate fruit.
