W/the boot camp i am in they have their own posting pages, and just trying to keep up w/that has been 'work' and have i mentioned working out is 'work', ouch it surely is. But all is good; i'd rather have sore muscles, working them, rather then not working them. So, yes pain is involved when getting "FIT" as B calls it...
I jogged a mile in 14 minutes, did have to quickly walk some of it. Imagine how happy i was to jog most of it, even though it may have been at a slow pace i still made a mile in 14 minutes! i was pumped!
This was so encouraging to me. B/C once i did start working out i realized how out of shape i was. And having to face this truth, this reality of what the scale was saying i weighed, i had to admit to myself: "Geesh,,, o my.... it is time to get real, real fast; REALITY does indeed bite..."
So here's a run down, my true confession:
Day 1 ~10/13 worked out 60 minutes
Day 2 ~10/14 worked out 15 minutes
Day 3 ~10/15 worked out 60 minutes
Day 4 ~10/16 rested
Day 5 ~10/17 worked out 60 minutes
Day 6 ~10/18 rested
Day 7 ~10/19 worked out @ home floor exercisies (30 each)
Day 8 ~10/20 walked/jogged a mile
Day 9 ~10/21 100's & hip lifts
Day 10~10/22 worked out 60 minutes
Day 11~10/23 rested
Day 12~10/24 Sabbath Rest
First week trying to keep up w/water intake, taking vitamins & a food diary seemed way too much. Second week i did do better w/charting all the above. For me i usually start off so great and by the end of this past week like friday/saturday i charted nothing & did nothing but hang out w/family, doing the necessary things needing done @ the house, cooking, laundry...We did manage to build a storage unit on J's day off, and that was cool working together & seeing a finished project, and on tuesday the blessed palm tree got planted, yea!
So, it is sunday and J's off to work B is texting, not wanting to go to work any earlier then possible. On my journal pages for the boot camp my page ask's me 3 things everyday:
1.) My stress level
2.) My energy level
3.) My motivation level
On a scale from 1-10: 1 being low, 10 being high...
So today i am going to answer this here:
#1 stress a (3) the stress i am feeling is not being up doing what i know i must do, b/c there's lots to do. Spiritually, i am sensing again, as always the need for more time w/Father in prayer and fasting...i have some stressing things on my heart, and i know if i go to prayer, to Papa i will be less stressed....
#2 energy a (3) here again my energy is low and i want to blame this on not properly eating, and or not eating the right things like; healthy food...old habits are difficult to break, thus the need i am sensing to fast to clean things out of my system, and for more power to overcome bad eating habits over a lifetime; from lack of discipline, etc...which contributes to the stress...
#3 motivation a (3) also low. Work = work no way getting around this...i would just love to lay around reading, studying doing as little as possible...which also increases the stress b/c i am convicted this is certainly not good...also last week @ weigh in i had 'gained' .5 ounces which the scale read as a 1 pound gain, discouraging when i've worked so hard. Each day after that i got on the scale 1st thing, and the blessed scale began reading less and less, halleluyah right? Well, yes. Till this morning i do not want to say what it said this morning which indeed should be my motivation to get up, and get moving...i hate scales! i repent! i will learn to love scales b/c they tell me TRUTH.
SO, there you have it...a 12 day report...on my progress. i must keep going. Say a prayer for me that this week will be my best. Overall, i am happier b/c i am 'doing' something. i even took less sugar in my coffee this morning while i ate some lemon cake w/lemon icing, oops...
TTYL....
