Calender = Consisteny...at least for me

-
When I started my first 30 day challenge in 2009 I began to use the calender to track my progress. Everyday I would weigh in and write down how much I weigh on the calender. It was something that I would look forward to doing. It kept me accountable for my weight and if I gained a pound or two I knew I would need to change something in my diet. I would also write down the workout I completed that day as well. I also created weigh in days on Monday. I would measure my chest, waist, hips, thighs, and arms. It helped me to not eat as much on Sunday, because I wanted a good weigh in on Monday. Another thing that I incorporated on the calender was when I spent time with God, if I prayed and confessed the Word. I would notice if I felt sad, frustrated, and discouraged I would take a look at the calender. If it showed I had not spent anytime with God for a week, I recognized why I felt so defeated in my thoughts. I also noticed that I would have weight gain during these times away from the Lord. So this daily goal setting keeps me focused and on track. I do all these things to this day. It has become a way of life for me. Hopefully, it will help you as well. [e].

Just a warning...you may need to get some tissues for today's blog post. Well as I pondered about what I was going to write today I came across this video and I want you to take a look at it. Please view it before you continue reading. fdafdasfdksjalf; During the video I must have cried and cried and cried. It really touched my heart for many reasons. I had thought about all the areas in my life that it seemed like I failed, but I kept getting back up again. I see although the process was painful just like the guy on the video...I have grown tremendously in every area of my life. I was talking to a friend this past Saturday. I have been at my job for several years, with no hopes of a promotion or increase in salary. She said to me....well Ericka create your own breakthrough. She said I believe alot of your frustrations will go away when you get a new job and recognize your worth. When I watched the video they told him he would never walk again and he was overweight.

How It All Began.......Part II

-
The first day I was so excited and pumped. I decided everyday that I worked out to post it on Facebook. Another form of accountability. Little did I know this would be a great support for me in the end. I also sensed accomplishment by posting and that I could go on. After the third day, my legs were very sore, I had to massage them for about thirty to forty five minutes before the pain would go away. But I did not let that stop me. This also happened other times during the thirty days. I made sure to eat correctly, I even fasted sweets and watched the fried foods that I ate. Every day of the challenge I pressed forward, even if I did not want to workout, I looked passed my feelings and looked at the end result. This challenge was one of the most difficult things that I have ever done so far in my life. The videos were extremely hard and they took great effort to finish them at least at that time. But as I began to count the days down, I began to see the results that I had always wanted
