Spiritual battle within losing mass

So, how am I doing…

I am doing alright. July hasn’t been a waste even though I haven’t lost as much weight as I would like. This month has more been about discovery. How can I lose the weight, what works best, what changes do I need to make, and how can I stay focused? All question I have tried to answer this month, and I’d like to say I think I have.

This month I changed my breakfast which is a big deal for me… I love my cereal. However, I needed to drop my bowl of cereal to see if that would help. I replaced it with a slice of cinnamon bread & one hard-boiled egg. I have to say that that was tough. Bread is just not as tasty to me. I do that for my breakfast and then I have just the home-made smoothie for lunch. Dinner is still whatever the meal happens to be, but with the other meals good, I can worry less about it.

Exercising. I have uped it. I walk in the morning, and I have been able to walk a longer distance I started with 0.39mi, now I do 0.59mi. I know it isn’t alot, but that is just in the morning. After devotions I do my yogaish stuff:

Stretch, Crunches, Crunches with exercise ball, leg lifts, outer thigh lifts, inner thigh lifts, Plank, knee push-ups, and then I lift weights.

In the afternoon I walk again and I do around 1/2 -3/4 of a mile.

In the evening my sister and I do the wii fit, and wii active- totaling 40min.

 

Next my sister and I do what we call our “Dirt drink” Recipe. (We take no credit. Found on Pinterest.)

We do in each cup:

Just less then 12oz of water.

2Tbsp of Apple-cider vinegar.

1 1/2 lemons juice (We buy three lemons to split)

1tsp Cinnamon

1Tbsp of Raw honey.

 

There you go. We do it about four night a week. Sun, Mon, Wed, Sat. If we miss a day, we just move it to a different day, and still try to do four times.

With all of this plus a Challenge.

I am not going to have any sweets for the next two months, mark that October 1st will be my last day. Yeah, I know this will be hard for me, but I have grown, and I want to prove to myself and my sister that with Deu’s help I am strong. Psalm 142:3.

Wish me luck!

2017 (redone)

This was getting bunches of Spam, so I deleted it and redoing it.

 

As I close out this year, i have to say somethings.

When this year began I was afraid of what it might bring. It has brought tears, laughs, sadness, and joy!

I wouldn’t take the trials of the year out, because I wouldn’t be who I am today.

I am Thankful for what God has taught me, and brought me through.

God is good.

 

As I start this new year, I pray that God will continue to help me grow in Him.

Jeremiah Week 29!

This week I got to go through my favorite passage everyday!
Here it is:

Jeremiah 29:11-14, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.”

Jeremiah Week 28

Jeremiah 28:15-16 “Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.”

Jeremiah Week 27

Jeremiah 27:5, “I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.”

Jeremiah Week 26

Jeremiah 26:3, “If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”

Catching up

Sorry about weekly verses. Here they are

 

Jeremiah 20:11, “But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.”

 

Jeremiah 21:14, “But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.”

 

Jeremiah 22:29 “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.”

 

Jeremiah 23:23-24, “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.”

 

Jeremiah 24:7, “And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.”

 

Jeremiah 25:6, “And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.”

 

And I realized I never did week 18, here:

Jeremiah 18:4,6, “And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.”

Losing mass- Emotional battle

As I try to lose mass physically I know I will have a emotional battle going on in my head. I always do, so how do I not get overwhelmed?

Deu- I call God that for it makes it more personal.

 

This time around I am fully relying on Deu’s help. Constant prayer, and making sure I fulfill all I want. I believe with hard work I can lose the mass I wish.

Now my goal is 130lbs. I am probably 210lbs by now. Which means I need to lose 80lbs. Well, I will think realistic and say that I want to look a certain way, and my muscle could make me what I want and be 140lbs.

So if I look the way I want at 150lbs – 130lbs I will stop. Muscle weighs too, gotta remember that. If I gain muscle as fast as I lose fat, I may not see results for a little while on the scale. Inches in the tummy is what I care about most.

 

With all that, I will add that I think I have to be eating Spiritual food in order to lose mass. I must be in Deu’s word daily and and pray daily. Stay in His will.

My sis is brilliant!

I have been trying to figure out a way to do a smoothie for a meal a day. However, I didn’t like doing it for breakfast and was having a hard time deciding what to have for lunch.

Well, my sister brought up that she will have cereal for breakfast and then the smoothie for lunch, and I just had to hit myself. I have been having trouble for the past months and here my sis state the obvious. Wow.

So, I will be doing the same as her. Cereal for Breakfast and a smoothie (+hard-boiled eggs) for lunch. I think I will be able to stick to that.

In my smoothie is whatever I want. I have been putting in things I don’t like on their own. Cucumber being one of them.

I put greens, fruit, and a veggie.
