Journey on....

Phil 1:6 - (paraphrased) - God will complete the work He began in you.

It's funny to think that this journey began seven years ago while pregnant with our third baby. I was done, up to that point I had spent the better part of my twenties 200+ and with her pregnancy I topped out at 250lbs. I needed help and God provided it. I am a living breathing testimony that commitment will render results (as we had two more children after her). This journey has consisted of continual lifestyle changes not just in my diet, but primarily in my mind and spirit, that is what has made the greatest impact. "As a man thinketh so is he (or as his heart goes)". Your worldview is what has to change for your "world" life to see any major lasting changes. 

As we enter this new year I am at the cusp of yet another goal and that is to become a figure competitor, seven years ago I just wanted to weigh less than 200lbs - amazing how a things change isn't it :).

I would like to encourage anyone who is beginning their journey towards greater health and fitness (inside and out) to set some action goals - I think those are the best because they require you to move and that movement assist in what we see as our ultimate goals (like lose 20lbs etc.). In my journey a few of my action goals have included:

1. Run my first 5k

2. Run my first 10k

3. Run a half marathon

Current goal complete my first figure competition.

This has provided a means to continue to have something to train for and help push me to continue live healthfully. 

I hope you will allow me to be a part of your journey and that you will take part in mine this year as well.

Journey on friends.

New Day - New Year - New Opportunities
