5 Week Challenge with Peak313 Fitness and updates

    It has been a while since my last post. All is well on the home front and I am trying to revive my blog. We moved and were without internet service for a long time. Although I missed surfing the web and reading encouraging blogs the time away gave me a chance to focus on my family. It can become all to easy to spend way too much time reading and not enough time doing, at least for me that seems to be the case so often. I am praying for balance. The children are growing up way too fast for my liking, lol. I now have students in high school, middle school, elementary school, Pre-K and nursery school. This makes for very busy but happy days.


    We started our new school year Tuesday of this week and so far we are off to a great start. Our key word for this school year is Excellence. My husband and I have issued a challenge for ourselves and the children to do better than we did last year. This includes all areas: physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. My number one desire as a wife and mom is to stay in tune with the Father and His will for my life.


    Which brings me to this challenge over at Peak313 Fitness . I have lost a considerable amount of weight(approx. 60lbs.) since I delivered my son in 2010. I have plateaued over the last six months mostly due to my eating habits because I actually like exercise. In my former mommy years I served in the Army Reserve and maintaining physical fitness was a priority. Life happened and like most moms I put myself on the back burner. My pregnancies were welcomed blessings but I did not follow a nutritious diet. I believed the 'eating for two' hype and I still look as if I am carrying a baby, lol. Lord Help me to yield to You and to deny my flesh when it comes to eating the wrong things and overeating in general is my prayer.


   I joined this challenge as a way to jump start my journey again. I like that the challenge includes more than just the elements of diet and excercise but most importantly the nourishing of the spirit man. I hope to update here each week as I apply the principles of this challenge. I would appreciate prayers for strength and self-control. Thanks for stopping by and for praying for me too. Have an awesome weekend. Here's to a living and active lifestyle change (Hebrews 4:12)
