Hi guys! Hope you’re having a great week! I’ve been up and at ‘em every morning working out this week. I still can’t believe that I’m getting up every day at 4 am to workout on summer break. (Oh, I forgot to tell you that I’m a teacher. I teach first grade in Whiteland, Indiana.) Today’s workout was pretty rough. My upper right arm was hurting a little, and it made the plank exercises difficult. I kept trying, but would have to stop to take a break occasionally. Thank goodness for Kat, right?!?
Jeremy and I tried to make a video this morning to put on Facebook, but memory was full. Luckily, a friend gave me a great app to video tape on from now on. (Did I just say video tape? Gosh, that ages me. Lol!) Last time I didn’t mention that I failed my first attempt to make a change for good. In November 2014, Jeremy and I spent 3 weeks working out 6 days a week with P90X. Then Thanksgiving break came, and we fell off the bandwagon. We never got back on until that day in February. I prayed and prayed for God to give me strength, willpower, and determination to get up to workout. Day after day, the alarm went off at 3:20, only to hit the snooze and go back to sleep. After a few snoozes, I just reset the alarm to get up at 6:00 instead. That went on for a while. Until one day, I got up. I’ve been getting up every day, but Sunday, since. I’m still in shock about this opportunity that God presented to me. At first, I thought that this was my decision. But upon wisdom from up above, I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe God gave me more than I asked for. I asked for strength, willpower, and determination, but maybe he said, “You can do more.” I think that’s what he’s telling me. Otherwise this coaching opportunity would not have fallen into my lap.
This coaching opportunity and blog is way out of norm for me. First off, I am losing my anonymity. Normally, I’m an introvert. One who gets uncomfortable posting anything about myself, other than photos and stories about my children. It is unheard of for me to post personal things, take selfies, make videos of me working out, etc. Until now that is. Everything has changed. I feel like I’ve been given this great gift to help others that are dealing with the same struggles with food and weight like me. So if you’re like me, a shy introvert, afraid of putting yourself out there, be assured that you are in a safe place within my blog or accountability group. I want to help you overcome the weight and eating struggles that I am learning to overcome. I really have no other explanation for the changes taking place within me, other than God has given me the power to change. I pray that just like me, God helps you make a change. If you are interested in joining one of my challenge/accountability groups on Facebook, check out my page below.
Be on the lookout for a food prep video. Jeremy and I plan to get one posted soon! As always you can comment here, or message me on Facebook at Christy Booker Fitness. Have a great day!
