Becoming a Better me - Day 19

Today is Day 19 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge and my workout today included 60 squats with two 10lbs dumbbells, 1 minute leg flutters, 1 minute scissors and 60 crunches followed by a 10 minute workout video I found on YouTube. Check it out! https://youtu.be/I6t0quh8Ick I also wore my waist trainer during the entire workout. Also because we are more than half way done with the challenge, I'm going to take away bread and pasta until the challenge is completed. Getting rid of carbs allows you to see better results sooner because carbs are a key factor to weight gain in the stomach area. Reason why is that bread and pasta contains yeast and as we all know yeast expands, therefore making it harder to break down and exit the body. My prayer for today has been done and my scripture reading for today was Exodus Chapter 6. I want to encourage those of you on this journey with me to #keepgoing #dontgiveup because #yougotthis 

Ever been confronted with your past? Ever been in silent conflict with someone and not know? I...(to be continued)

 #jointhemovement and remember that as you work on #BecomingaBetteryou and I work on #BecomingaBetterme we must stay encouraged and inspired to follow the will of God at all times. God bless!                                                                                                                        

Becomng a Better me - Day 18

Are you a winner? Have you made up your mind that you are a winner? Do you claim everyday that you are winner? I declare that this will be your winning season! I declare that victory lies within you!

Becoming a Better me - Day 17

Reaching milestones and living in purpose...as I celebrate another milestone in my life, I awake feeling new, refresh, replenish and a bit nervous. In that same token, I awake with a new attitude in knowing that God has given me another year. Another of life, another year of correcting my wrongs, another year at getting something right that I was unable to get right in my past. Yes, I've communicated some of these same things before in the midst of this challenge but I felt it on my heart to push these topics further. As I look at myself in the mirror and I ask myself yet again...where do you wish to be in life? What is it that you want in life and how can you obtain it? No I don't place any demands on myself. No I don't put any pressure on myself. I simply just ask myself...(to be continued)

Today is Day 17 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge and I got up at my usual time 5 a.m. and headed to the gym #nodaysoff. I started my workout with a 13 minute warm up on the treadmill at a speed of 5, then I did three sets of 15 on the Leg Prone Curl machine (weights at 60lbs), three sets of 15 on the Hip Abduction machine (weights on 75lbs), 60 squats using two 10lbs dumbbells, 1 minute leg flutters, 1 minute scissors and 1 minute Russian twists with partially elevated feet. My body is looking great with my progress thus far but I still have a way to go before hitting my goal. I didn't wear my waist trainer today because I forgot to but nevertheless my workout was a success! (Before doing any exercises please be sure to consult with your Doctor first!) My prayer for today has been completed and my scripture reading today was Ephesians Chapter 5.

As you all work on #BecomingaBetteryou and I work on #BecomingaBetterme I pray that we all stay inspired to follow Gods will, empowered to live our best lives, driven to reach goals and willing to listen before speaking, so that we may hear God for ourselves. We are almost there guys but have you reach out to get others to #jointhemovement #yougotthis #keepgoing #dontgiveup

Becoming a Better me - Day 16

Embracing the beauty of growing older, can for some be a scary thing to do. Although, the truth of the matter is that it is a blessing to get older. Each year God gives us becomes another year we are given to live life with those we love and another year to live in purpose. Milestones are often celebrated the most but if you are someone like me, birthdays are treated like holidays lol! The day we were born was thought of long before we arrived and the purpose on our lives was already known as well by God.

Today is Day 16 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge and I've completed my prayer for today. My workout today will be at home again and I will be focusing on my arms and core following a video found on YouTube, check it out here! https://youtu.be/QN5Nu1aeYyc I will also per usual, add in 60 squats with two 10 pound dumbbells. (Always consult with your Physician first before doing any exercise!) Of course while working out I will be wearing my waist trainer. My scripture reading for today was Philippians Chapter 1 NIV. My prayer for us all is that we may live life and live it abundantly! It's great to be goal oriented and one who pushes to make things happen because faith without works is dead but we should never feel like there is time limit on the purpose God has given. I want to encourage anyone who is reading this to #keepgoing #dontgiveup on whatever it is that God has placed within you because #yougotthis and you are never too old or too young to pursue purpose! As you work on #BecomingaBetteryou and I work on #BecomingaBetterme I pray that with each milestone we embrace the time God gives us and learn to not take a single moment for-granted. God bless!

Becoming a Better me - Day 15

"Malice is the intent and desire to do evil, ill will." Are you battling demons from within? Demons such as jealousy, envy, anger, fear, lack of trust, feelings of lust or bitterness. The thoughts of the mind is the culprit to many internal demons that we face. Did you know that even when you don't necessarily act on something, that the thought of sin is just as bad and that you are still sinning with just the thought? Ever get caught up in a sinful thought that was hard to erase mentally out of your mind? Ever felt a certain type of way towards a person on the inside but smiled on the outside, as if all was ok? Ever witness the success of someone else and wondered in your mind, why it wasn't you? Ever been married or in a relationship and someone else other than your significant other catches your eye...(to be continued)

Today is Day 15 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge have you gotten others to #jointhemovement? My prayer for today has been completed and my scripture reading for today will be Romans Chapter 5 NIV. I will be doing my workout outside in my backyard because fresh air is great for the soul. My workout today will be rather quick, 60 squats with two 10 pound dumbbells, 20 push-ups, 2 minute Russian twists with partially elevated feet, 1 minute leg flutters, 1 minute scissors and 30 crunches. (Remember to always include a quick stretch before working out and to consult with your physician first!) Beautiful people do you know we are half way done with the #BecomingaBettermechallenge? 30 days of prayer, 30 days of scripture, 30 days of working out and 30 days of being transparent. My prayer for all of us is that God gives us the strength to continue fighting the many demons we are faced with everyday and the wisdom to make Gods voice the only one we listen to. Let us allow God to use us as you work on #BecomingaBetteryou and I work on #BecomingaBetterme  because just like the Casey J song "Journal" (Check out the song here!) https://youtu.be/Oq_HPTTLQUg I want us all to breathe the life of Gods word within us #yougotthis #dontgiveup #keepgoing

Becoming a Better me - Day 14

Picture By eidetec.com

Broken wires create lost connections which cause signals to fade in and out. Almost reminds me of relationships among people. Ever wondered how a relationship between two people can start off being so sweet, then years later become so stale. Like, we were just besties yesterday but today you have become a distant stranger. The truth of the matter is that as the days come and go, so does your friends/significant others.

Today is Day 14 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge #jointhemovement! I have done my prayer for today as well as workout. My workout today consisted of a quick stretch, 60 squats with two 10 pound dumbbells, 20 push ups, 1 minute leg flutters, 1 minute scissors, 1 minute of Russian twists with elevated feet and a 10 minute upper body workout I found on YouTube check it out! https://youtu.be/4pcaD3wInqM (Please consult with your Doctor before doing any exercise.) I worked on the full body today but added more upper body. My scripture reading for today will be 1 Peter Chapter 5 NIV. Sometimes we often place too much pressure on ourselves with maintaining certain connections in life, when God could be doing us a favor and cleaning out house. When God places us in our purpose, the people around will be the ones who is meant to be around and a part of our success....

Becoming a Better me - Day 13

What are you afraid of? Why do you keep allowing life to get the best of you? How many times are you going to allow others to dictate who you should be? It's time for you to live your best life with no more excuses. None of us are promised tomorrow so we must do what we can to make everyday count.

Yes, you may have fallen but it's ok, get back up and try it again. If you have prayed and asked God to show you what it is you are to be doing and God has revealed your calling to you, then you must be obedient. Just like the Donna Summer song "Stamp Your Feet" "we have to stand and fight and keep our eyes on the prize and not get caught up in strife." Check the song out here! https://youtu.be/tNMgPFp66lk Transparent moment...I used to care strongly about...(to be continued)

Today is Day 13 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge and I worked out at home today. My workout today was for the whole body. (Remember to consult with your Doctor before doing any workouts). I did a quick stretch, 60 squats with two 10 pound dumbbells, 60 crunches, 50 side lying leg lifts, 50  regular leg lifts, 30 push ups, 1 minute of Russian twist with partially elevated feet, 1 minute of leg flutters, 1 minute of scissors and a 1 minute wall sit squat with one 10 pound dumbbell. Keep in mind that I'm still drinking the "Flat Tummy Water" and wearing my waist trainer. I've also completed my prayer for today and read Isaiah Chapter 41 for my scripture reading. Know that God wants nothing but the best for us but we must also see ourselves in the same light that God does. If you have a purpose, start setting goals for yourself, so that the purpose on your life can be obtained. Remember as you work on #BecomingaBetteryou and I work on #BecomingaBetterme that #yougotthis so #keepgoing and #dontgiveup and push others to #jointhemovement

Becoming a Better me - Day 12

Staying faithful to the word of God in the midst of despair can be challenging. Often when the pressure is on, it can become unbearable and stressful. We often wonder what we did wrong, when things seem to be getting out of hand. At the times that we should be praying, we chose to worry. When it seems as though we are not deserving of Gods love due to the turmoil in our lives, we shy away from the house of the Lord because we feel unworthy of his love. Do you know that even the bad things are working together for our good? Do you know that the closer you get to your purpose, the more the devil tries to deter you?

Today is Day 12 of the #BecomingaBettermechallenge and my workout today included a quick stretch, 60 squats with two 10 pound dumbbells, 35 push ups, 1 minute plank, 2 minute Russian twists, 50 crunches, 1 minute leg flutters, 1 minute scissors, 40 leg lifts, 50 side lying leg lifts and a minute wall sit squat. (Consult with your Doctor before doing any workout.) I completed my prayer for today and also worshipped at Triumph Church today. My scripture for today will be Isiah chapter 6. Stay inspired loves as you continue #BecomingaBetteryou and I will continue to keep faith in myself and all of you as I continue #BecomingaBetterme because we are in it to win it! #jointhemovement
