Today begins the Peak 313's challenge. I plan to do this challenge with my 14 year old daughter. It is a win-win situation because she can apply this to her P.E. credit requirement this year and we get to spend more time together.
I went to Peak's website and printed out the work-out schedule along with the verse of the week. I love this week's principle of being tied together.
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12
I love how Clare points out that our physical and spiritual need to be tied together. So often for me it has been focusing on one at the neglect of the other. I am trying hard to work on balance in my life. God becoming my first priority makes the three strand cord complete. As she pointed out the power lies in the cords being woven together. They are useless if they are beside each other. So I invite Him into this challenge with me and my daughter. Then I know that I can succeed.
Another aspect of accountability for me will be checking in with my SparkPeople group. Look us up if you have an account and if you don't it is free to join and we would love to have others join us there. We have a great team and I can't wait to get to know the ladies better. I am excited knowing that I am memorizing scriptures with other sisters in Christ.
We are supposed to list our workout plans today. I plan to continue on my Couch 2 5K journey three days a week and working on my abs daily. I really need a lot of work in this area. Six babies, all born by C-section has wreaked havoc on my tummy area. Looking at my sweet beautiful babies makes it all worth it. I really plan to follow some of the workouts listed on Peak 313's site as well. Dvd workouts will help with my strength training work outs.
I also plan to incorporate more fruits and veggies and cut way back on the starchy stuff. That worked for me in the beginning and I am hoping it will work for me this time as well. My eating habits are not terrible but I don't watch my portion sizes as closely as I should and I know that is the culprit in this plateau that I am currently experiencing. To give myself a jump start I plan to start a 7 day green smoothie cleanse on Wednesday.
I pray that I will persevere and I wish all of my sisters much success. I will check in next Monday with my progress. God Bless you all and thanks for stopping by my blog. God truly is blessing my family.
