WELL! It is day 68 and I am almost done with my first BBM challenge! Interested? Check out her website here http://bikinibodymommy.com/
Her workouts are great and I have loved doing them! The meal plan has been more difficult. It often contains more expensive foods than I would buy. So, I end up subbing chicken for beef etc. This leads me into having to do a lot of the work myself (despite promises from her that there is NO meal planning)
So, I will be entering BBM 3.0 but, I think I will forgo paying for the meal plans.
In total for my arms I've lost 4 inches! I have not seen the pounds drop like what I was hoping for and expecting but, everything is shrinking. I lost a dress size and have noticed how well and loose ALL my clothing is fitting.
I also notice how strong I am in the arms and legs. Best part, more energy!
Feeling great as I am almost ready to say goodbye to this leg of the challenge and weight loss journey!

July 2nd 2014

Now, we are really cooking with gas, so to speak! Yesterday was a hiking day! It was a 3 mile hike up in Lassen Nat'l park at a place called Bumpass Hell. It was pretty hot, but perhaps not hell hot :)
It was a lovely place to explore and enjoy God's creation. Best of all, I made it with very little trouble!
  I made it a point to rest, water up and take in the view. It felt so good to accomplish yet another goal! Being healthy is the best decision God's ever helped me to make! I look at old photos and I will never ever go back. I just put one foot in front of the other and plod on the direction he is leading me.
Hydrothermal areas are awesome!


Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This has become  my life prayer. If you are in a place where you feel unhealthy, worn out, or just plain depressed. Pick up his word and see what it has for you. Get moving and get outside!

Stunning vistas!
 It is really just as simple as EACH moment choosing and each day choosing. 


 I am excited to keep on choosing to follow him, as I begin each day! 1 pound at a time, 1 bite at a time and 1 step at a time!
