My Inner Journey Chronicles to an Outer Transformation - PT1-PT4

You don't have to be great to start,

BUT you do have to start to be great!

That statement rings so true, as recently I was reminded via Face Book's Memories Feed that popped up on my timeline! It showed me at 200+ pounds wondering if I would ever be able to reclaim my pre-childbearing body back again from several years back!  ....Yeah, that is me on the left wondering....

And then following that picture, a couple of years later, showed me the amazing results I was fortunate to achieve after me committing to a fitness/wellness plan. My instant thought -  though it was not always easy, it did not come from hoping and a wishing, BUT it is and was very do-able! And for others, for that reason I document my journey- for if I can do it, you can do it too!

1st Step - to greatness is Decide - Decide you want better ....no matter what that "better" mark is for you....Decide.

2nd Step - Starting - Showing up day 1 no matter how you feel....Show up.

3rd Step - Become Accountable to a person or people who will encouragingly remind you of your goals and the health that you say you want for your life. Become accountable!

[ Chronicle 2]

4th Step - Commit! – And as you commit, it’s imperative to have a SMART goals

S.M.A.R.T. GOALS meaning -
Specific - Your goals should be specific enough you could easily write them in a short list. /  
Measurable - Your goals should be measurable enough you can track your progress whether inches you want to lose, or steps you want to take each day etc. / 
Attainable - they should be within reach of where you are at your present state. For example I knew 12 weeks after having a baby I could not run a Marathon, BUT I could began to prepare as if one day I would /  
Realistic - be real about where you are accept it and celebrate no matter where you are, you are BEGINNING A PLAN and /  
Timely - your goals should involve a time frame does not have to be to the day, but within e.g. a month's time or 2 months time what you want to see happen as far as results with those goals.

For me, that was what I called Baby steps!  Once you commit to baby steps, then....

5th Step - Be Consistent. As best as possible, be consistent. 
Take 1 day at time and 1 step at a time and keep going… no matter how small they are. I remember the waddle that came from my short stature carrying the extra pounds of post-natal and months of breastfeeding…being winded at just the thought of walking. And literally being winded after a few steps of walking. I literally had to talk myself into doing it as I got up to do it.  

I had a new compassion for being in my expanded version of me, and even for others in the same plight as me.

 Though I accepted me, I knew it was not God’s best for me. Which I pause here, because if you do not love yourself big, you will not love yourself small. Love yourself for who you are in whatever state you are. Because if you are doing this to simply love yourself it won't last....

However, I knew with diabetes, heart, and other major health issues that easily ran on both sides of my family I had to take charge of my health and make that change that I knew I needed for me while I was cognizant to do so.

So off I went with my first accountability partner, my husband, to hold me accountable and be my encourager to this new goal.

He even was so great in his support of me, he would strap one of our toddlers to his walking holster, and I the lighter newborn to me and we would both walk around the block, him with me. 

Over the first few days….

After becoming confident enough post-partum, I went from walking around our small cul-de-sac in front of our home a couple of laps,

To the next few weeks:

Extending my walk to around the neighborhood and as my babies got a few months older as toddlers, me progressing to daily going for short solo walks.

To venturing out of the cul-de-sac

To traveling further ….around several streets of our subdivision,

To venturing out of our subdivision up the street passing several neighborhoods a few blocks…which leads me to my next point...

 

[ Chronicle 3]

6th Step - Challenge Yourself.

For example, for me once I got use to walking - I then learned how to walk, then small-jog across every road crossing and walk to small-jog the next road crossing up to the end of the road that led to our subdivision (1 mile up and returning 1 mile back.)

Eventually progressing to walk, then sprinting across every road crossing you get the point... in both directions.

Progressing to eventually jogging slowly all the way up one direction and then  running/sprinting back the other direction ...the whole way until my body slowly but surely began to respond…

More on this topic now below! 😘👊🏼

 

[ Chronicle entry #4]

7th Step - Change it up... Change,

For me.... and for most, I've discovered when you do something repetitive everyday- consistency will take you very far, but often growth happens, or progress happens when we allow change to occur.  And for me whether  it was with fitness, or I must say even for my life overall....that included the need to change my routine up!

As far as fitness is concerned though, after I had mastered my daily walk rhythm to a walk/jog rhythm, to all jogging, to all running; I needed a change it up or even a shake up if you will.

I needed to challenge my mindset to a different set of muscle memory....and in a sense, organized chaos. For it takes more work in general for the mind and body when it has to physically adjust or readjust to change....so change it was...

Over the everyday steadiness as she goes routine...

I knew I needed to create this storm of organized chaos or change to my workouts, so my body would be challenged to put in a greater level of work so I could move from beginners mode to a more advanced mode....and therefore would not peak or plateau doing the same rote daily routine........

So my husband and I a little over a year later, decided to one day together CHANGE IT UP, and so we visited the closest local gym and off we went to discover our new norm of working out…….

Yeah this is us ....about how we looked back in 2013....

 So one of my most memorable gym journeys in the ATL, following having children, was when I visited a LA Fitness and actually I stumbled into a class which back many years ago at LA Fit was called Latin Heat ;)  way before LAFit acquired Zumba licensing.

While my husband happened to find his way into a spin class which was just the beginning for him as well…more on his story too at a later time... (smile)

…...My husband and I fell in love with the idea of being held accountable.

#1 by all the gym fees we were paying 😉 we needed to "make good" on! Lol. And...

#2 by all the energy the live classes offered. 

As a sidenote:  I truly believe that as individuals we naturally are created beings that thrive MORE when we are not an island to ourselves, or bump elbows with others "so to speak," or stand shoulder to shoulder with others or are "among" community to provoke, encourage, gleam from, sharpen, and push one another further along in a gym or in fitness groups as these or online accountability groups as well.

So, after committing to corporate fitness plan, following the solo months of pounding the pavement, street, and at times running on grassy fields or across rocky or gravel athletic tracks alone, my body needed a change and change indeed happened for me inside the gym with music, dance floors, and a change-up the different formats of workouts whether Zumba or Boot camp at the time for me. Different types of classes provided a variety or buffet of means to' "buff"et' my body back into shape …no pun intended. ;)

So to note, my initial post-partum pounds solo lost was 20 to 25 pounds in total, before stepping foot inside any gym.

But the next level of burning and toning and rest of my weight-loss happened inside the gym, among others, in a corporate setting with group fitness as a part of my journey...this was part of my change....this was part of my journey

I appreciated the different styles of fitness each class offered. Even between various Zumba classes each class depending on the teacher presented a totally different style who each brought their own flavor. And to this day, it feels like yesterday that I met each one.

 I am thankful truly to them each who for several weeks, or several months, or couple of years allowed me to recognize the power of what each style could do when committed to it!

Before Zumba's trademarked classes (were acquired by LA Fit) I had the opportunity to experience Latin Heat after meeting and dancing with my 1st instructor KoKo who made sure everyone a part of the front row, rotating as we went and having a big circle party time (soul train style at the end).  It was so much fun while getting in a great sweat, at first of which I was challenged getting back into the swing of things by the ever changing format of her free-flow class, and after getting the hang of it  after a while, often lost track of time as it was so much fun! I got caught up in the music and smiling faces of others... And so for that I am always thankful for KoKo! 

After Zumba was acquired, I noticed a new wave of different teachers subbed in to the gym....

And so it was, a few months later I am thankful to have met and began dancing with my 1st official Zumba instructor Karan McKinney - who introduced me to Zumba at LAFit in a classic way.  Engaging the class in all styles and rhythms and forms of pure 'dance'! Whether a packed out room or a few, our AM classes always were vibrant, and I enjoyed it so very much! She was always friendly and very down-to-earth and embraced everybody the same that she came in contact with….Her music had such a nice range of beats, tones and rhythms I never left without a sweat! Even to this day when I bump into her she is the same sweet person that I remember from the 1st day...and actually was the 1st that dropped the idea that I should one day get certified myself as an instructor when she noticed my dance background...

And then when my schedule had to move to evening classes, because of going back to work I met Yesi who for months after I would enjoy the evening classes…truly of how she provided a great party feel and flavor of dance. Coming in after a long day's work loved the variation and Miami party feel I experienced. It was so easy to be freed from the day's stresses with each song, great choreography, and poppin' atmosphere. I also found myself among a packed out class, sweating even the more- as everybody clapped, shook together, turned together, with big smiles with such a great style or flavor to the dance floor! Never left a night session without once again a great sweat! I always felt a level of escape in her class...

And then there was Cherry Mae who I met one morning when I had to return back to a day schedule of fitness as she subbed one of the classes for another teacher, I attended and began to follow. Intrigued and inspired from her theme of music and the thought that it's okay to SPEED UP a routine! And when I say speed up, I mean SPEED UP a routine while getting in great toning. We got in great jabs, punches and chest/ab pumps while at it too. And to songs that really grabbed you. She also was one (the 3rd instructor) who encouraged me to go and become an instructor as well!

To this day, I am thankful for each one, the (variety of pure original Zumba dance styles with (Karan), to vibrant party themes with Yesi, and double for my trouble speedy workouts with power punches, pumps with (Cherry).

 From each- over time-  I grew, I learned, I appreciated the stylistic, vibrancy, and high energy routines that jump-started my body into high gear and cardio modes that I in-myself would not have obtained at the time when I was solo... and over time I saw my body begin to metamorphosis back into a silhouette shell of the body I knew I had in me, that was once again my pre-baby, "pre"child-bearing mode body!

I am also reminded of the difference it was from going outside running as a teen to engaging challenging fitness personalities from "our-back-in-the-day" before You-tube ever was available by convenient click of a button from our laptop... workouts offered via VHS tapes (yes I said VHS tapes) ;) or local TV stations as a teen in my den-living room whether working it out as a fan phased with Jane Fonda's consistent energy, or Gilead's sunny workouts off the coast of Hawaii, or to even Richard Simmons tearful testimonial workouts that helped people stay motivated to weight loss during the 80’s aerobic fitness era, I gleamed from them all. (as I pre-date myself if you don't know who in the world these people are- smile)

And over time, as I have evolved, as an adult- finding my way back to a fitness plan that worked for me - I realized it included the local gym post-partum! I am still amazed how over time I quickly found myself becoming addicted. So much so it was becoming so much harder for me to stop, than motivating myself I needed to go!

 

Oh and did I mention that this change included me rushing out to so many classes- that one day my husband looked at me and said, “You know you are so dedicated to the gym, you need to be teaching a class?!”

I laughed and retorted "You’ve got to be kidding. I am NOT trying to be in front of other people!!! I am doing this for ME!"…. Lol. Yes. Go figure!..... 

 

So now on to the next step!

 

8th Step - Consumption..., CONSUMPTION!.... This segment is so much broader I will attempt to tackle in a couple entries. So here is the first thought of a couple thoughts on Consumption....

How many of you have heard the statement “You are what you eat?”

We don't have to go too far without knowing this very popular saying.... because it has so many times often proven to be true. Our bodies actually become the type of food we consume!

I am sure you can fill in the following blanks without my prompting in this quick exercise....

If I eat fatty food all the time as the core of MY diet I will eventually become _____

If I eat foods high in salt, sugar, dairy or in other words acidic foods all the time, my body will eventually become _________!

OR
If I eat fibrous dark leafy green vegetables, or a diet full of a variety of fruits vegetables, and lean protein, that are alkaline to me my body will eventually become ___________!

  IF you have no idea what I am talking about AND you are struggling to see a remarkable change in your body, this blog entry is for you!

It often goes well in saying Junk In = Junk Out. It is not only a saying but a reality. It starts as a thought and is a mind issue. As a man thinks, so is he. How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself worthy of eating good quality food? I realized right before I decided to get back in shape, that my body was a temple. For all my fellow believers I know I can get an Amen or agreement in this.... that my body is the temple of God! .....A temple for God to live in and operate through! So why would I treat it or settle for less. If I know that my Creator needs use of my vessel, my energy, my vitality, my LIFE to operate through?...

ROMANS 12:1-2 says
1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

So how often is that? Our bodies presented back to God are considered a "present" or a "gift"...back to Him.

When we live by a higher standard not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally, our thought life is sharpened, our discernment is clearer. We are stronger and more able to think and act more clearly from the the detractors of poor health. If I sit around all day dwelling on the negative reports of my own or the negatives of others all I will have negativity, or eventually a negative outlook on life... cynical to any possibility of change.

If I "think on things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8)..... eventually I will become or embody the very essence of what I meditate on or give the energy of my mind to ....pure, lovely, good, praiseworthy things!  The Word also mentions "As a man thinks in his/her heart so is he/she." Proverbs 23:7

So my thought and or my intents must be a priority before I even begin to approach diet and discipline. If I choose to eat a certain way just to impress others of a weight loss plan it will be just that....an impression or a plan. no matter how short or long it lasts....it will be just that for others…. And… when that audience adjourns from the performance often so does often the desire or drive to keep going.

BUT when I go beyond to recognize my true audience of 1 (God) has called me to live life more abundantly in Him through a healthy daily devotion, discipline and diet unto Him, I will learn, I will look and I will BECOME to love or DO better, out of my love for my own body as I, You, We are a reflection of Him!

So what are eating or feeding off today? More specifics to come next time....

You got this! If I can do it, you can too! 

Of which all began from a decision…. to want better myself.
Which brings me to a pause until our next time!
More on this topic in the days to come.... Stay true to yourself! You can do this! 

"Let It Roll" Faith!

Good Morning!

As I awakened this morning, my dreams from the night before flooded my memory!

I had dreamed that I was at a very nice event/conference with other young ladies and as we wrapped up ....  I realized that I would need a ride back to the town I was from. Having agreed with no hesitation of thought, I willingly accepted at 1st-offer the ability to catch a ride back with these 2 sweet ladies to get back home.

I never gave consideration to the type of vehicle we would be riding in, as these ladies were sweet, their character Godly, and their disposition loving, and their demeanor thorough.....

 However when we went outside to the parking lot, to my horror, I saw what looked like in open-topped old little go-cart that they were hopping in the front seat of and I guess I was supposed to hop in the back of to 'catch a ride'!!!

With terror, I immediately exclaimed, "Good Lord! What did I get myself into?!"

There was no other mode or transportation home....All others had pretty much left the parking lot and this 'ride' did not 'look' secure, nor 'comfortable',  nor 'look' safe; as we would have to travel many miles across state lines not just through one city..... to get home! This mode of transportation can't be IT!!!  The one who jumped in 1st said, "Come on! We can't hesitate! The longer we wait, the later we will get back and it's a long drive and it's beginning to rain!"

Yet as I stood paralyzed in shock of disbelief .....
 The fact that they were serious and trusting this low-to-the-ground old go-cart or dune-buggy of sorts to get us back safely left me standing there...still considering..... as I ended up yelling out, "HEY! You left me!"

 Not wanting to be Left Behind as they had already began to roll down a steep hill and up another leaving, they turned around and rolled back to pick me up.....

Upon circling back, retracing their steps to get me- I amazed at myself, jumped in the back! For I did not want to be Left Behind!

What I discovered as I hopped in the backseat of this so-called 'car' was immediately they assumed the position of rest ....

They were laying their heads back as the car began to just move on its own, and inside it was it really odd that it seemed to have this smart technology to know exactly where it was going without them having to navigate, steer, look or anything!

Though its outer exterior was so opposite....

As we traveled  I remember asking in the dream, "Hey are you going to drive this thing or are you going to let it just roll on it's own????....

 They both replied in unison to me "let it roll!"

..... They said further, "This car was designed for women like us, because the maker knew what we needed in life.... the maker knew one day we would need rest, and that we would need something that can navigate on its own- without our having to always take the wheel!"

"This car knows how to get us home safely without us having to keep our foot on the pedal, navigate or steer....."

"Its Powered by GPS...."

It navigates itself and will safely and exhaustively provide us the means home."

 I begin to reflect in my dream on the Lord how he Cares about every little detail in our life. He provides for us. He directs us. He drives us, and He gets us where we need to be without our help when we put our Total Trust and Rest in Him! \0/ Selah!

Long story short and needless to say the end of this story must have been a successful one!

As I woke up shortly after this, I remembered that no ill-event took place in my dream even though the path I remembered throughout the dream was at night time, and at times with rough visibility and even at times ominous shadows along the way outside the car.

As I vividly remember the dream I specifically am amazed at how the other two women rested in the car all the way, and eventually I fell off to sleep myself in this go kart until I woke up to the morning light of my Tuesday....today!

Also the fact that I made it home safely from point A to point B during this long journey, in what appeared to be a fragile car, was an amazing thing! In the midst of rain, during a dark night in a vehicle that felt totally non-controllable by me, in my dream there was no bad memory of any bad event that happened!  We did not even get wet from this rain, but we arrived safely....

I remember, as I awakened peacefully in my bed in ATL, Georgia....to my Tuesday morning!

So much like our Lord to remind us even in our dreams, that He provides for us. What we need in that moment.... though the vehicles may not always be attractive, though the path, nor the means to go along a path, may not look safe or even more so may not look or be comfortable... Our Lord always promises a way, and it's in Him and through Him that as we rest, trust and even at times put our minds to sleep and focus and meditate on Him, putting our faith on Him .... that He is God that He gets us from point A to B!

As I awake this morning I awake with a new sense of energy. I awake with a new sense of trust and I awake with the new sense of release from NOT having to drive myself, or to try to figure everything out, or DO everything!

Instead...I can know that truly our Lord is the author and of finisher of our Faith! And He who begun this work in me is faithful to the day of Christ to complete IT in me, my family, and those closest to us. In Him truly, we live, move, and have our being... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (1 Corinthians 10:13, Philippians 1:6, Acts 17:28)

Beauty is in the Eye Of "Our" Beholder- God #BEAUTIFYHER

You know the all too often the saying states, that "beauty is in the eye of its beholder" (whoever it is supposed to be at the time) 

However, I truly disagree. Beauty is not dictated upon the acceptance of another person's acceptance of us! Beauty is in the eye of our beholder, Almighty God!

Psalm 139:14 states,

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well." \0/

 So often,  I can definitely relate to  many times how we can be so hard on ourselves or pick apart ourself for not realizing that we were made after God's own image... created in His image and likeness...

For example, coming out of high school and going off to college I remember saying to myself while on an internship over one summer, "When I get a good sum saved from my internship I am going to get a nose job." 

I even looked through the yellow pages while interning in Minneapolis, because I was determined to change my nose one summer because of me not accepting my uniqueness as it was. It was not til out of the blue my would-be now husband- but back then brother in the Lord  wrote me out of the blue and told me He was praying for me that week, and that "It was on His heart", while he was just praying, for all the Christian fellowship that was away, that God loves me and to remember that.....every aspect." And he, Howard, went on to say these words- I quote, "And I know this may sound strange, but God impressed upon my heart to let you know He loves you and He even loves your nose?... your nose is beautiful!"

Now I had talked to no one about this plan. No sister in the Lord. No brother. No parent
 No sibling. No one. Only God could have known and revealed this to him of all people at the time...a brother in the Lord thousands of miles away, in Raleigh at the time on his internship at IBM in North Carolina ....still laughing about this...

So I belabor this private occurrence about my life to show how much God cares enough about us to interrupt another person's day to remind us sometimes His Word- down to the nitty-gritty details. And I am sure you can see God's hand in your life, similarly, in some way if you just think about it. How He uses other people to remind us of His Word and truth.

Each and every one of us has a beautiful piece of the reflection of who God is in all of His nature and beauty! So it's so important that we stop picking ourselves apart from what we measure as the "standard" or man's measure for what is acceptable or beautiful is.

We are each made after the image of Christ and wonderfully made by Him, no matter how uniquely created from the next person we be. He loves our different noses, eyes, shape, body structure, stature, weight, skin/hair color, wrinkles, voice, freckles or whatever unique markings/traits we have and the list goes on and on.....

 He calls us still yet beautiful, in how we are. For EACH OF US is a representation of Him, our creator in some great way! We are made in His beautiful likeness- no matter the shade, accent , features of nose, eyes, skin, body build....we are a reflection of Him.  We are each fearfully and wonderfully made...

 And when we can accept God's Word about us as true, then and only then can we begin to accept and began to truly appreciate the beautiful things in, not only ourselves, but also in other's life and not measure them or ourself by some false narrative or standard.

If we do not believe it ourselves, we will not appreciate ourself; or uniqueness we bring to the table....and become our worst critic at best!

 So it's such an important reminder today... and always, to know, "we are fearfully and wonderfully made!" 

 Father help us to accept ourselves the way we are, and to stop hating ourselves. We love and thank you for the realization that we were made in your image and likeness! Truly you say that we're loved, accepted and are beautiful just as we are, and that we are GOOD thing...

You create no bad thing, as You are the creator of ALL that is good, and we receive of that today in Jesus' mighty name! Amen!

The tongue is a tricky thing MEEKHer Powerpoint:

MEEKHer Powerpoint:  The tongue is a tricky thing where just like that we can be tempted from a place of safety, trust, and blessing others, to speaking our fears, doubts, or criticisms of others.

It is important that we daily make the right choices that we allow this one tool God that  has given us to bless or curse to be used wisely!

 The Bible also says that, "As a man thinketh so is he", Proverbs 23:7,  and "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks," Luke 6:45, which demonstrates that we must take captive our earthly thoughts, suspicions, doubts, fears, or assumptions -that many of the things we are meditating upon and receive in our heart as well; that are not of Him will be tamed and dispelled when we stay in Him and His Word.

Otherwise they ultimately will come out however not in a Godly way!

Lord help us purpose in our heart to hide your Word in our heart, that we won't so easily sin against you! And at the same time that we be quick to hear, and slower to speak- that through my tongue I would glorify you each day, and kick the devil WITH a lifestyle of meekness and a life seasoned with grace! \0/

#MeekHer POWERPOINT!

James 1:19, So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday!

Over 2000+ years ago, this would initially have appeared to have been a sad day because our Lord and Savior was put to rest (or so it was thought).

But thanks be unto God that Jesus Christ rose again on the third day!  Because Jesus got up, we can get up through whatever struggle we may have -knowing that the same Miraculous power that breathed into our Lord and Savior - can also be breathed into our daily situations that we encounter.  And we are excited and expectant of what God will continue to do in our lives through His resurrection power.

Knowing this, daily walk in the fact that you are free to love God, love people, and serve your community, and thus the world!

What area of your life have you been struggling in?! Just as we are able to declare "Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!", know that- that doubtful situation or dead thing in our life that God still wants to use can and will be resurrected as we align our lives in the Word of God!

Today I am thankful to God that He got up so that we can too! God bless you this Good Friday!

1 Timothy 1:17(KJV), Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
