Hallelujah!!
I weight myself today after 5 days of hard work out, and to my surprise I had lost 2 lb.
I am glad...this is good improvement for me. Little by little I can reach my goal.

Dear friends I must confess that I am a very determine person in my goals.I never give up. But honestly I have nothing to worry about. I know I am very healthy and for that I give God all the glory not because I am good or clever.
I just keep myself alert in this area, just as I do in every other area of life, so that the enemy can't play any games with me. And I put my trust every day on my Savior, that by His grace and help I will have good health, I will stay in shape and go on and serve Him with all I am and I have.
Glory be to Him forevermore!!!

Congratulations HB.  You go gurl.  One has to be determined to accomplish the goal.  We think, we speak, we do.  Communication is key.  Reading, writing, listening, speaking is a great catalyst for motivation.  We get an idea, we make a plan, then we work the plan.  Then we see the idea come to its fruition.

I want to know something .......... when my sisters get all slim and trim, can I whistle at them?    LoL  I don't hardly ever, never, ever get to whistle at a gal .. so it would be nice to do for a change.  

  So true... I know how you feel, Sunny. It's easy at first, but oh when the  daily grind kicks in.. Unless it's a coffee house. 

HB- Congrats!! Rock on sis! It's so cool to see hard work pay off. Thanks for sharing with us of your success....

On the bright side...6 down, 0 to go.  Might put in an extra mile tonight for good measure. It's a gorgeous sunny day- such a blessing from the Lord!!

Sunny sister...please don't give up...little bit at a time. I am praying for you. I know how that feels. I am like you, I too,want results now. But He is working in our character and personality. He is shaping and forming us in the image of His Son. And patience is one thing He is teaching us all the time. Thank you Jesus for my precious sister Sunshine. You help her Lord everyday. And encourage her by your Spirit. Send people around her that will lift her up and inspire her to go on and never give up.

Did a three hour sweaty work out today.5 miles walking and jogging and all the weight lifting. I love exercising.
Thank God, no one has to push me to go to the gym. But sometimes my flesh feels like staying home and doing nothing, in that case I need someone to encourage me. But there is no one there, so again I have to push myself.
O Lord help us all!!!

We need to make our entry here on the fitness log

we sure got our exdercise last night ..... whenever Mommy went downstairs (either a sewing break or get something to eat or something to drink) we followed. Then we followed her back up the stairs.
and me ... being the youngest ... I think I did the msot   --> I've turned the stairway into a race --> having to beat Mommy to the top before she gets there, or to the bottom.
Sister (Sapphire) got smart partway through the evening by only going halfway down.
Brother (Warren) did follow for a while but then after a bit took a nap ... after all he is not quite up to feeling 100 % yet.

I ran up, I ran down, then up then followed Mommy into the bedroom as she was fitting a collar on the flannel shirt she was working on
I visited her in the sewing room
picked up a few stray snippets with my gorgeous flame Himalayan tail

after a while I lost count on the number of times I ran downstairs or upstairs but I think I could count all the times on all my toes.

what a work out!   to us that stairway is like a major  mountain with all those 12 steps to go up, to go back down .... and up ..... and down

was glad when Mommy finally went to bed, I could finally get to sleep

Alas, I am off to walk 5 miles all alone in the rain... and dream of better sunnier days.... Romeo, Romeo, were forth art thou, Romeo? LoL

     I shaved my head this morning ( something I do almost every year at least once ) ; probably not much weight loss , but

an act that I hope will help me maintain a higher level of discipline in many areas.
