Day 3 of 135 - The Sabbath Day

On Sundays, I plan to share my goals for the upcoming week and what I hope to accomplish. Also, I would like to share some quote, scripture, song, or idea that has helped me in my life...so be prepared!

Since my weigh-in isn't until Saturday, I am not going to be majorly strict in my eating. I am going to be working on portion control and ending my eating by 8 p.m. I will still eat a little sugar and maybe have one or two diet pepsis. I am going to use this week to get my refrigerator cleaned out and prepared for all of the healthy food I'm going to purchase this coming weekend.

The following is the exercise schedule I intend to use this week...
Monday - C25K (couch 2 5K) I start Week 4 Day 1. It will consist of 5 and 3 minute runs. I can barely make it through a 3 minute run so we shall see if I can make the 5 minute part.
Tuesday - Pump FX at 5:30 - weight training class.
Wednesday - C25K Week 4 Day 2
Thursday - Pump FX at 5:30
Friday - C25K Week 4 Day 3
Saturday - 10:00 weigh-in/class then I will be doing a Body for Life workout for upper and lower body

It is going to be a tough week getting back into the school routine so my goal is to be to bed by 10 p.m. Hopefully this will be accomplished.

My new theme song is the new one by Whitney Houston called "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." Here are the lyrics...Her song is number 6 on my blog and you can sing along. This describes the road I've been on for the last few years and where I am NOW!
...Enjoy!

Didn't Know My Own Strength Lyrics

Lost touch with my soul
I had no where to turn
I had no where to go
Lost sight of my dream,
Thought it would be the end of me
I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to,
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

Found hope in my heart,
I found the light to life
My way out of the dark
Found all that I need
Here inside of me
I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break


I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

There were so many times I
Wondered how I’d get through the night I
Thought took all I could take

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

Words by Diane Warren

We all have so much strength, we just have to find it inside us and with God's help we can survive and then flourish! Love to you all!

  2. Remember that when times of discouragement happen, it's not from the Lord. You are doing great and I know you have it in you to accomplish your dreams! Love, Mom
