21 Day Fix - Getting Wedding Ready!!



There is nothing like a deadline to get you moving!!  Although by nature, I'm a laid back, peaceful type, every now and then a good challenge helps give inspiration, motivation and helps make progress towards a goal.

Later this month our family has a wedding!  My oldest son is getting married and we are thrilled!! We are excited to see the prayers of many years answered by God bringing into our family the perfect girl who is a perfect match for him!  We are filled with joy as they join their hearts and lives together, make a new home and life together. Now, of course, weddings are all about the happy couple, but moms want to look their best too!!!

In fact, the mothers on both sides (bride and groom) are filling these last few weeks with some healthy eating and exercise!!   My plan is the 21 Day Fix.  One of my fitness/healthy living weaknesses is diet.  I LOVE sweets.  This plan gives a fabulous guide for portions sizes and food categories. 

 It also comes with 6 quick but intense 30 minute workouts.   

  • Upper Fix.- Targeted resistance training helps shape your chest, back, shoulders, arms, and abs.
  • Lower Fix. - Firm and tone your entire lower body while you blast fat and burn calories.
  • Total Body Cardio Fix. - Keep your heart rate up and your metabolism revved high long after the workout is over.
  • Cardio Fix. - Get your heart pumping and your body moving as you melt away the pounds.
  • Pilates Fix. - Strengthen your core, elongate your muscles, and firm your hips and thighs.
  • Yoga Fix. - Improve your balance, flexibility, and strength as you help relax your muscles.

21-day portion-control system

These seven color-coded containers deliver exactly the right portions every time, so you never eat too much, and you’re never hungry. Fill them up with as much food as you want—if it fits, you can eat it!

21 Day Fix™ Workout Program

The concept of the plan is short, intense, varied workouts with a measured calorie plan to be followed for three weeks. 

So for three weeks, this is the plan for the road to healthy!  Keep watching, there will be lots of updates!

    I've seen that plan - and I love the containers. I'll be interested in seeing how it works out for you! And, congratulations again on the upcoming wedding. It really is such a blessing when God brings the right person. My son has been married for 8 months now, and I love my daughter-in-law more and more! And it makes me happy to see them happy!!

    GOD BLESS!

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.
