Living and Active Challenge


Nothing is more inspiring to me than a challenge!  I love being accountable and encouraged in a quest! 
 
Being  physically active is one of my strengths, simply because I love it!  Walking is not only a fitness tool for me, but is my passion!  It gives me time in the early morning or evening to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and provides some time 'just for me'!  I have walked regularly for years.  Another fitness tool that benefits me are weights.  Just using weights a few times a week gives tone and sculpture to my muscles. This easy routine helps keep me fit and is more like a daily part of my routine rather than a habit that I must do.  But, staying in the same routine for a long time often yields low results.  To get more, you must give more!  So, I'm joining this challenge!
 
This 5 Week Living and Active challenge goes beyond 'getting in shape', it encompasses the Physical and Spiritual and adds Accountabilityy!  The basics of this challenge are:

Physical - CHALLENGE GOAL: Exercise 4 days a week for the 5 weeks we are in it. (25 minutes is minimum time).
 
Spiritual -
CHALLENGE GOAL: Memorize the new weekly verse/Soul Food (as well as maintaining prior weeks) and do the key challenge.
**A Bonus: For those of us who have children, we are going to be praying these same key principles into their lives!
 
Accountability-  Weekly Link-Up: Blogger are encouraged to write about how you did that past week. You can include healthy recipes, or exercises you like, or the victories and valleys. Set your own goals and measurements. Detail your specific daily diet and what you will be avoiding or adding. This is your place to make it your own!
 
I"m excited about participating, growing and sharing this adventure.  If you are interested, please visit Peek 313 Fitness and let's get living and active together!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
