"Health is a Blessing. Who would argue that? To have good health is one of the joys of life. When we are healthy, we are better able to serve our fellowman and do the Lord's work." - S.Horne.
Bless that I have the strength in myself to feel happy in my own skin.
I trulybelieve in blessings and that God is always watching over and testing our strengths. Whether it be physical or emotional, strength serves its purpose in survival, living a healthy lifestyle, and helps the muscles in our mind and body grow.
Today I am growing, most in mind.
I am learning more about who I am and who i'd like to be.
I have recently had a run-in with, (no, not forrest gump.. although, yes.. He was "runnin'..")..
with an emotional and erruption of the mind.... close to me and my heart.
I know I must be strong in helping, by being supportive, not taking on others 'problems'.
The errupting lava of this life's volcano has paved over the past and made new roads to travel upon.
The volcano still continues to bubble and boil.
The volcano still holds in the heat of an impending argument.
May the lord be with this precious volcano and may errupt in subtle peace.
And with its peace... strength, concentration, and focus..
Bless and be blessed, by default..
And now.. for today's F&E portion:
Today's (FOOD) meals: fruit cup, banana (90), yogurt (100), 8oz coffee with cream (60), pb chip granola bar (100), ...
Today's (EXERCISE) training sesh': ...
Love, JB.

Day 2: Work Out Plan.. According to "Kanye Banville"
One and..
Two and..
Three and..
Four and..
Get them sit-ups right and..
Tuck yo' tummy tight and..
Do your crunches like this..
Kanye's tune can be a motivator sure, but what are we raelly here to talk about...... FITNESS!!
Anyways.. Day 2..
Day 2 was fab-ish..
I stayed right around 1600 calories for the day, and continued the turbo jam exercise.
Tuesday's disc was "Fat Blaster".. A shorter workout time-wise, but the intervals in turbo speeds definitely kicked me into high gear. I've been having a bit of pain up through my hamstring and lower back, but the exercise seems to be helping. After battling a knee injury that for sure knocked me off my rocker, it's those little pains that help push me through. Just behing able to walk, jog, kick, and punch... Jumping around with some kind of intensity and not sitting on the couch with a swollen joint. The ability to be alive keeps me going... and going... and going.. like that carzy energizer bunny!
Pre-Turbo Jam workout included 5 solid minutes on the balance board and some shake weight action. Post-Turbo was crunches on the foam roller and lite yoga on the mat.
The workouts make me HUNGRY! Which worries me whether or not my intake of calories is sufficient for the day. But at the very least, it helps me eat a full dinner.
The breakfasts have been going well (so far).. I am actually eating somethign for breakfast rather than starving myself until 11 o'clock. And i've been trying my best to work some bettwe healthy choices into my daily lunches.
Today's eats: yogurt (100 cal.), banana (90 cal.), pb chip chewy granola bar (100 cal.), 8oz coffee w. cream (50 cal.), .5 cheesesteak sub with tomatoes (360 cal.), 6oz cola (65 cal.), slimfast shake (100 cal), 1 cup white rice (240 cal.), 1 chicken wing (160 cal.), 2 beef teriyaki sticks (200 cal.) mixed cocktail (~120 cal.), fudgicle (60 cal.) = Totaling roughly 1645.
However, with the merge of exercise and calories burned through exercise, I end up being closer to a total of roughly 1400 calories for the day. (assuming all of my calories eaten and calories burned calculations are correct).. I'm new at this.. and i'm trying.
I also got a call from my sister Tuesday afternoon, recommening herself as my sponsor.. someone to help keep me in check, especially on days where I am feeling a little less motivated to work out.. or "really feel like baking a plate of cookies".. (and then of course, eating them)..
Whelp.. here goes nothin'.. onto "Day 3"!

Today is a day to be inspired.
A day to decide.
A day to..

- start a food journal..
A day to..
- feel the way I want to and be happy in my own skin..
A day to..
