Day 2! Oomph!

Last night as I began the sit-ups and push-ups, it was so hard it felt like I was going to have an asthma attack! Oiy!  How did I get here???

Anyway, I am encouraged because I did it!  And I added some leg-raises!
Every day I am planning on adding 5 to my sets.  Slow and steady!

Yesterday I heard "Eat Kale" so I did.  I am still listening for today!

It is funny how the community aspect helps.  This morning when I got online I read a new blog post from Katie and it made me inspired to get up and do more sit-ups and push-ups! I decided to do them in the morning and in the evening!  Katie also inspired me to add a prayer here. Hers really blessed me and it was the cry of my heart as well!

A couple of other friends from Facebook encouraged me with their plans.  One said to drink green tea to help get rid of belly fat, and the other said to eat lots of apples! :))  Thanks Lord, I have heard Your voice through my friends.  Today it is green tea and apples!

If you are new here, please become a follower and share the posts on Facebook.  Leave a comment about your plan and insights.  Start your own blog if you like.  At the end of 60 days I am going to have a drawing for all who participate for a book, God's Healing River and a bracelet!

So...Lord, thank You for these friends who are coming alongside of me and who are encouraging me to press into You for health and fitness.  Help each one of us today to keep our eyes and heart turned towards You.
Make us hungry for You!  We want to be vessels for You.  Thank You Lord for YOur great mercy and kindness towards us.  We love You, Lord!  In the awesome name of Jesus, we pray!  Amen.

Happy workouts!!!!
Blessings, Anna Marie

  1. ok. todays goal -- get on my exercise bike! its been ignored for so long. i too will do fitness training morning and night...and TRY to add another 5 minutes every day or so. i want to be healthy when God sends me to India and Africa this fall. He's not through with me yet and I am called to be my best for Him. I'm claiming: "I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength" (Phil.4:13 NLT). Blessings!
