WikiFit Valentine's Day Treats

I wanted our group to have this celebration not only because i thought it would be fun and because cooking is my passion. However, so everyone will be able to know that if you stick with healthier recipes—and less-frequent, reasonable portions—you can have your cake and eat it too! Sweets and treats aren’t off-limits if you’re aiming for a heart-healthy diet. You just have to choose carefully! That's exactly what we did! We had fun doing it! I am very PROUD of everyones creativity. It turned out better than I could of ever imagined. WIKIDIT KNOWS HOW TO PARTY! ! (★^O^★)

I wanna change!!

  I have NO desire to stay the same!!! The question I had to ask myself today was... What are you going to do about it? A special someone asked me a question today. I am so grateful.  THANK YOU BREA. Why haven't you went back to the gym ???. Tears roll down my face as I write this... I pushed myself at the beginning of my knee injury and prolonged my healing. So I felt guilty!! Then I decided after the fact to be obedient  with my healing process as I engaged in Physical Therapy.  I set a personal goal to be finished by the end of month... even the end January and became discourage that I didn't get released. No one advised me against the gym in anyway. I was disscouraged going three days a week at pt while everyone else was using treadmills, doing Zumba and losing weight tremendously while I have limitations. Kinda like all or nothing.  Horrible I know. Not fun to crawl before you walk.  I am NOT SHARING for you to FEEL SORRY for me! I promised to blog my journey! I had to reach inside myself and ask who is is responsible for my healing. Is it my physical therapist or myself and the Lord! 

Holding yourself accountable is nothing more than following through with YOUR commitments and responsibilities. It’s doing what YOU know YOU should do, when YOU should  do it.
This Scripture reminded me 1 Corinthians 9:27 ESV /

But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. 
So I'm not gonna talk about it. I'm gonna be about it! Actions speak louder than words. In the gym I will be because that is a personal goal I set for me! (: I am continuing to log my meals..gonna start using my pedometer and I am looking forward to us getting a buddy but keeping mindful that I have work to do individually! I am proud of all of you are taking the necessary steps to meet your personal transition to become more healthy. Have a blessed week and I hope to see you all Saturday!

Transition to be so Fresh and so clean in 2013

Posting my before/after pic as promised. I am doing this for our group and myself too. I want you ladies to know I struggle also. So for the next 60 days I am gonna share with you my journey. You will be able to see the difference between unhealthy meals vs. healthy meals (calories)  exercise vs. NO exercise..There will be good days and some not so good. I am holding onto our Scripture for the week to encourage me. Hebrews 12:11 New International Version (NIV) 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. 1. I am starting this challenge by logging my meals on myfinesspal which you will be able to see under MAMAOFNINE 2. I Will be eating my meals on a side salad plate. 3. I am on a 1200 calorie intake range 4. I am trying to eat a minimum of one new healthy recipe every/or ever other week. 5. Sunday dinner will be cheat day for me. Not going to allow this knee to discourage me. I can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST who STRENGTHENS ME. Love you WikiFit family. Have a blessed week! Don't forget to PRACTICE healthy habits constantly.
