When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Getting in the Game!


So a few weeks ago, a friend of mine in my ward started a challenge called the Game on Diet. She sent me the rules, and I was in. I have been working out regularly for the past few months but haven't had much results because it was only half-hearted. I decided it was time to kick my butt in gear and get where I wanted to be in life. So this past week was our first week, and I started working out every morning at 6AM. I have been feeling so good! I am doing things that I never really thought I could do. I was so negative during my workouts and my results showed it. So my new goal for the week was to be more positive during a workout, and when I thought I can't do that, I would replace it with, yes I can, and I will! I accomplished SO much this week and it gets me so excited! I am so tired of sitting on the back burner and just watching life fly by! I am now full of energy and feel SO great! I officially lost 6 lbs and a half an inch on my thighs and a half on my stomach this last week! That is like biggest loser status! Todd has been so supportive and such a wonderful husband! This morning, I did my workout at home (Thank you jillian!) and Lily was doing it with me. It was nice until I started doing floor work and she jumped on top of me... no biggie.. hehe.
I have always heard of people talking about how one day a switch just flipped in their mind and it was all good, and I always thought, yeah right... it will never switch for me. But honestly, it truly did! I am competing against 10 other women on the other team and I REALLY want to win! I think I'm on the right track if you ask me!
