Day 5 - Fasting Day

This is Day 5 of the Get Fit 4 Christ program. So far so good! I feel great! Today is our fast day and I have to admit it hasn't been too bad. I had good prayer time this morning and just woke up feeling very blessed and favored. God is really good all the time!! I do have to admit as it gets closer to the time I know I can eat my stomach is getting more persistent but I wil make it. Also, just an FYI be careful of drinking a whole lot of apple juice on an empty stomach. Let's just say doesn't make for a good combination…LOL! I went grocery shopping last night and picked up some foods to prepare for next weeks meal plan. I still have a few more things to get. Based on Lyle's meal plan we still get to eat a variety of good foods and often so I am looking forward to next week to get this started. The remainder of this week I am just going to continue to eat sensible and write down everything I eat. The workouts have been really good this week too. I really like the DVD workout that Lyle has put together. It is high-intensity but short and to the point and after you have completed it you feel like you got a good workout in.

Day 1 and 2 of Get Fit 4 Christ

So this is Day 2 of Get Fit 4 Christ.  Let me give recap of Day 1.  I feel great! I am keeping a journal of my food in a notebook as well as comments on how I feel that day.  Yesterday was a good day.  I ate well and did my homework workout as well as workout at the studio.  I read my word of John Chapter 1-7.  I just got off work.  Day 2 has been good as well. I have been watching what I eat and writing "EVERYTHING" down that I put in my mouth.  I am about to get some of my bible reading in before I am off to bootcamp tonight for a good workout.  I also have been thinking of things I would like to improve or do better as the the days go by in the program. One thing I know I need to get better at is drinking more water. So that is a goal of mine to be more conscious of drinking more water throughout the day.  It is all a process but I am determined to be successful in this program and endeavor. 

Revelation

Ok so the Get Fit 4 Christ 40 day program begins tomorrow.  I was talking to someone very close to me about the program and how I am anxious to get started and I really want this to work and be different than the other "diets" or "programs" I have tried in the past.  Well, this person pretty much told me that I haven't really followed thru on the other programs or diets that I have attempted in the past.  Well, I got to thinking and they were right.  I did start off strong but then if I didn't see results right away I started to slack off.  So I got to thinking about the blog that Lyle posted about Goal Setting and where he said that A person is out of shape because he has decided to be. Well, again I got to thinking you know what he is absolutely correct!!  You always have a choice on what you decide to eat or if you want to exercise to stay healthy.  So with that being said I was thinking what am I going to do different to ensure that I will be successful doing the Get Fit 4 Christ in 40 days.  What came to mind is that I am going to decide once and for all not to be out of shape. I plan to be 100% committed to this program and making sure that I stay healthy and make healthy choices for me.  I am hoping thru this program I will come out spiritually, physically, and mentally stronger!!!  Tomorrow it begins!:-)
