Happy Happy Friday to you! It's evening time in California, where are you reading from? I'd love to hear.
So today is a unique post. The prompt for Five Minute Friday by Lisa Joe Baker is STORY and it's I Confess Friday with Agape Love Designs and Let It Shine. Since I love both of these link ups, I decided to write my Story through my Confessions.
I tried to write this blog earlier but for some reason, I couldn't get to my blog page so now I am home should be packing for my road trip with Mr. Aguila but decided I needed to put my story together and confess some things I have going on.
I started a fitness program 10 days ago.This is one tough journey but I am blessed to have a coach who is a Christian and who prays for us. Our challenge group is "Becoming a better wife spiritually and physically". I prayed and prayed about loosing weight and just for God's help to make changes as far as eating and giving up soda. I have been delivered of soda and I am so happy about that. There was a time I didn't think I could not drink soda. The eating healthy and meal planning and cooking is still in the works but I am not giving up. I am drinking my Shakeology everyday and working out to the SLIM IN 6 workout videos. God has connected me to some amazing ladies to do this journey with. I will be blogging on this more in detail soon.
We are taking a road trip to Las Vegas. Mr. Aguila is going for work and I am going for some much needed R&R. This trip is going to be different, I am taking my Shakeology, my blender and my workout videos. Say What???? Yes I have Decided, I am Committed and I will succeed. So far I have lost 3lbs and I know I have lost inches but not sure how many. I was pretty bummed with the number. I was looking to lose at least 7 lbs. in 10 days but a loss is still good right? I confess I have wanted to give up each day but learning to stop professing that and instead declare that I am an overcomer and that I will succeed with God's help. Do you have any fitness tips, healthy recipes, advice for me. Leave me a comment.
This is my STORY. Do you have a STORY to CONFESS? Go ahead take 5 minutes and join these awesome Friday Linky Parties.
Have a great weekend and I will be blogging from Vegas!!
I'm glad you wrote today and made it work for a variety of challenges. It is a challenge to begin making different habits for a healthy lifestyle. It sounds like you are well on your way. Enjoy your vacation!

DeleteYou go girl! With God's help, you can do anything!
ReplyDeletethank you Michelle!! amen!
DeleteI think All women are on a journey to lose weight. I have stopped relying on the scale and have instead been focusing on my clothes. I can tell if my body is changing by the way my usual clothes fit. If you are exercising and eating right, the inches and then the weight will fall off. Enjoy your time away and lifestyle changes are just that...a lifestyle meaning all the time. If you find you can't do it every day, then it's not the right plan for you.
