The third week of ShapelyGirl “Walking Fit and Fabulous” workout is over. This past week workout was not that great. I only got to workout for one day, the other days was running like crazy with work and was so tired and not feeling well. 

I didn't even want to step on the scale this week because I know that I didn't do that well. This week I need to stay focus and do my workouts, even though my body has been hurting.

The second week of ShapelyGirl “Walking Fit and Fabulous” workout is over. This week workout was a little more than the week before. My legs weren't burning and hurting as bad as before. After each workout I felt wonderful. 

I weight myself again today and I am at 191 so i gained those two pounds I had lost back. I went away this weekend and even though I did a little more exercise than I normally do my eating habit was not good since I had more sweets than I normally do. Need to stay more focused this week.

Book Review of A Thin Film of Lies A novel by C.S. Lakin

I have had the privilege to review Susanne Lakin book “A Thin Film of Lies.” This Christian novel is of suspense, crime fiction and is very faith-based. This book is a great read if you enjoy reading mystery/suspense and like relational drama. The story is about a homicide detective Fran Anders who is investigating a murder. A married couple Mike and Alisa Jepson marriage is falling apart while their lives are being turned upside down when all the leads that are sent to the precinct is pointing at Mike. While Mike is in jail, Alisa takes comfort from her friend Dee Dee who moves in with her. As Fran is investigating the case she is concerned about Alisa well-being during this time. Fran a middle-aged, divorced, single parent with two teenage children is hoping to find a great man and remarry. While Fran is caught up in the investigation she is trying to stay focus on being a good cop and mom, while relying on God to direct her steps.

I really enjoyed reading this novel because it not only kept me in suspense of who was the murder if it wasn’t Mike, then why was someone pinning it on him. This novel shows Fran the detective of how she struggled during her weakness and also as well as her strength when she was relying on God. Each character was well described and you felt like you were right there with them. You can find this book on Amazon.com in Kindle Edition for the price of $4.99.

The first week of ShapelyGirl “Walking Fit and Fabulous” workout is over. I was so happy when I started out on Monday, thinking this is going to be a breeze since it looked so easy. Well, I realized after just the warm up that I was really out of shape since I hadn’t workout in so long. My legs were burning and hurting so bad but I pushed through it, I even did ½ hour each of the three workouts. After I was done I felt so wonderful and felt like I had a lot of energy.  I was determined to keep going no matter what.

I weight myself before I started and I was at 191.5 by the next day I had lost two pounds. I was so happy just to lose those two pounds. By the third day I had gain those two pounds back, but realizing since I didn’t work out that day that is probably why I gained them back. Well, I weighed myself this morning and I have lost those two pounds again. I am looking forward to this week’s workout. 

My Journey with ShapelyGirl

I am one of 27 women that have chosen to take on a challenge this month with Custom Crew for ShapelyGirl!

The DVD that I will be using for this challenge is “Walking Fit and Fabulous” created by Debra Mazda M.Ed. You can find out more about this video and others at ShapelyGirl Fitness Page

Debra Mazda M.Ed created The ShapelyGirl Workout as a safe, fun and energizing program for women of all sizes to move, breathe and feel great. The ShapelyGirl Workout is more than just an exercise routine. It's a positive way of thinking about your body and your health. 

I am looking forward to doing this challenge!

The reason for this challenge is to change my mind set since I am not a big fan of exercising so since Debra Mazda is very motivated in her video’s I figured why not try this. I need to not only change my activity level, but I also need to change what I eat and how to think positively throughout this journey. So I will be doing a work out three times a week. (YES, you read that right)! I have decided to do this journey to not only to feel healthier but to feel better about myself.  Currently I weigh 191 pounds the heaviest I have been since I have been pregnant with my children. I really want to lose down to 144-150. Keep me in your daily prayers.

Each one of us in the CWA (Christian Women’s Affiliate) is choosing a Power Scripture throughout this journey!

My Power Scripture this Week is:

I can do all things through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

If you would like to see how I am doing on this journey just follow my progress here, I will be posting once a week through the month of October and with my Wrap Up by November 2.
