Day 2...a little easier

So today was Day to of my first 90 day challenge on body by Vi. I already have a lot more energy...I literally skipped down the hall today. I also worked out...something I have not done in a LONG time. And it felt good to work out. I did cardio for 30 minutes and then lifted weights for my arms - one of my least favorite body parts.

At first I was very self conscience going in to work out - surrounded by buff and skinny people. But then I asked for God's help. And He reminded me I am here to get healthy and to change my life. If people want to make fun of my fat bouncing around - let them...I am doing this for me.

The not smoking is going well too. I have had no nicotine cravings - just habit cravings. I did not smoke much - but it was always at the same times. So I find myself wanting one - just out of habit.

I am not only excited about the body by Vi - but about changing my health for the better. I am using a lot of prayer and meditation. I know God is there right by my side cheering me on. After all - he created me and he wants His temple to be right, good, and healthy.

Please pray for me on this journey. I have over 100 pounds to lose. I also want to run and am wanting to hike - small goals - but very important to me!

Not a Diet...a change for health

I turned 42 last week. The anniversary of my dad's death is only a few days away. I can't believe it has been 5 years since I lost my mom. I don;t want to pout my kids and grand kids through an early demise. But I have not lived that way. I am severely obese. I smoked. I hardly exercised. Well today I decided to make a change for the better.

I am taking the Body by vi challenge. I quit smoking with the help of Lobelia and St John's Wort and tomorrow I will visit the Y for the first time in 6 months. I want to get healthy. Yes - i know I need to lose weight to do that - but that is not my ultimate goal. My ultimate goal is to be able to keep up with my grandchildren. To run a 5 K - just for the fun of it. IO want to go climbing in the Rockies.

Please pray for my strength - I will need all the support I can get!
