Awaken...

Sooo the church that I currently attend  Stevens Creek Church is doing a series for the next 21 days...AWAKEN 21 Days of Prayer. I am excited to really dig deep within my faith. I praise God all the time here and there, but I feel that I need to connect with Him even a little deeper because of His many blessings in my life. I am committed to you Lord and I want the Holy Spirit to set my soul on FIRE! I am excited to use this Leadership Bible with notes from John C. Maxwell.

Day 1: Pray that your love and passion for Christ will increase over the next 21 days. Commit to seek Him daily.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 
And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates."



Wow. This really hit home. I do Love My LORD with all my mind, body and strength. BUT I am far from obedient to this verse. I pray to you God, That you will remind every second of the day your righteous commands. I pray to be a great Leader of this house when my husband is away and I also pray for my husbands Leadership as well. I pray that my children will be great Leaders too. I pray that this family will Lead people to you God. Please re-direct me when I get angry. Lead me to the Cross LORD. Forgive me for my sins. I love you and pray for another day. Amen.

ENERGY~

Seems like lately I've got a lot of it! I am happy to report that I've broken my plateau! Back in Feb of this year I started Insanity and lost 26 lbs in 63 days. I only ate good maybe 4 weeks out of the 12. Then I hit it again and went for round 2 of Insanity. Lost only 6 lbs. I like to blame it on the move to Georgia and not being focused and strict on my diet. But at least it wasn't 6 lbs gained. soooo Mid June and all through July I weighed anywhere between 178-181 depending (ladies u know. hehe) I could  NOT for the life of me get down in weight. I ate pretty clean except on Sunday Funday! I splurged!!! And during the week I would sneak bites.

Anyhooo. My Coach Leeia sings the same song to me about Nutrition. And I usually listen to her 80% of the time. WEll guess what? 80% wasn't cutting it. DUH! I spoke to my brother who also a Beachbody Coach and he pretty much said to cut the sugar! Not to eat more than 10-12 grams a day or something. I was not really consuming that much sugar other than tbsp of honey in my oatmeal which contained 17 grams of sugar! I was using Vanilla Almond milk 2x a day to make My SHakeOlogy and Protein drink. Guess what? 15 grams of sugar each serving.

SOOO I cut those 2 ingredients out of my diet and replaced the Vanilla Almond Milk with unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk ( NO SUGAR). In only 3 days I was down 4 lbs. I know some will say Im not suppose to lose that much in 3 days, but I know half of it was water and being that Im bigger, it's ok to lose more than 2 lbs a week. But it's not the amount of weight lost that's important. It's the amount of FAT! dude! I'm on day 7 and down 5 lbs. The scale is tipping at 173-175!!!!! I'm HAPPY!
