Day 66 - Down 11lbs!!

So it's been 21 days for the 90 day challenge, and we've been in a constant fast with the church for 5 days. I've been getting in at least 3 workouts a week, which I could probably do more, and I will. And I'm still down 11 lbs!! I feel so great!! 

It's been kinda hard though, constant struggle. The fast is helping, but i still wonder what's gonna happen after the fast, because the addiction is real. So I'm hoping I'll stay strong, but I've done 30 days before and we all know how that turned out afterwards. I don't know if I can tell very much in the picture but my clothes do fit differently. 

In addition to the weight portion of the challenge, the no social media thing is also doing rather well. At first, everything I did I was yearning to tell the world bout it through a post, and then I'm like "why?". Why do I need to tell everyone what I'm doing all the time? There are some people I care about and I'd want to tell, but then why not just text or make a phone call? I also take way less pictures now too, because where am I gonna post them? Nobody to show selfies, or what I'm eating at the moment, or the most fabulous kid event I'm attending. I take the memorable pictures, and things for this blog but other than that, it all seems rather mute. 

And now here is a new problem. Addiction to authentic tacos. It is real and I love it. 

Day 42 - Goodbye to the Fat Girl

So I've been enjoying myself the past week, eating whatever I want, savouring every last morsel. But like all good things, it must come to an end, because no one ever got fit eating junk. And even though I have been exercising, the amount I've done will not keep up with the amount of intake I've been consuming. 

And this was just some of the things today. Along with the Dairy Queen, tacos, pizza, chips, caribou coffee, and endless mini candy bars. So here's to you - thanks for being there for my feelings even though my waistline did not agree with it. Farewell to you along with the fat girl you once knew. And you all may not think I'm fat, but I've gotta plenty. You don't have to be obese to be fat. And although it's be very motivating to change if I shared my bikini photo, I will spare you the details so you can keep your dinner in your stomach. Plus I would rather show you my before when I get my after:)

Tomorrow marks the first day of the 90 day transformation challenge. No more time for playing around. I've been mentally preparing myself for this for quite some time now. I'm ready. I've even decided to step it up a notch. I'm going to be working on a complete transformation over the next 90 days. Mind, Body, Spirit.

So goodbye Facebook, goodbye Instagram, goodbye snapchat, goodbye social media. I am choosing to remove myself from the chains that bind me to my phone. I will be transforming my Mind and Spirit through the works of the good word. I will be studying the bible, increasing my prayers, and growing closer to the Lord almighty. If I feel the need to watch tv, I will turn to godly shows, documentaries and such, learning and growing more. Increasing my faith as I travel through my journey. 

Through the obvious working out and eating right I will transform my body. I already know how to do this, but I need to get better disciplined with it. I seem to lose track of it somewhere down the road. It will get boring down after awhile, so I'll need to think of ways to spice it up, because I need to complete this 90 days strong, confident and changed. 

There's so many reasons I chose to do this complete transformation. But the main reason is because it's time to be selfish. I need to do what's right for me and that's to grow closer to the Lord. When you are called to do something, you do it. And I've been so caught up in everything weirdly that I haven't heard my call. I've been searching for the meaning of life for a long time, but I've been too busy to hear the answer. I want to be selfish and hear my calling. My heart, eyes and ears are wide open and I'm ready to receive. 

So as I observe obedience, discipline and sacrifice: 

I will continue to blog, but I don't know how many people will follow because there's not a Facebook link to follow. So I'll just share and those who follow can check my page. I hope I help someone through my journey. We all travel our own, but it doesn't mean we do it alone.
