There are so many road blocks that can make you not reach your goal or your dream. How you deal or handle these road blocks will be the outcome of either reaching or not reaching your goals or dreams. I'm sure you have heard this, " you are your worst enemy." you say one more bite even though I'm not hungry, you may say my new years resolution is not working so why keeping trying, you may say there is so many tempting things for me to reach my goal, the list could go on. I go through these types of road blocks every day. I can listen to the lies or I can speak truth and say, "I can do this! It's one minute at a time and it's one meal at a time. When I fall I get back up. The fall may hurt but getting back up and humbling myself makes me strong. All things are possible with God. I can not do it on my own!! I never will be able to do it on my own!"
I hope this inspires and encourages you! Keep dreaming and setting your goals and dreams! You can do it! Believe in yourself is where it all starts!

Day 29:trainer and Spicy chicken
Day 28 I saw my trainer for the first time. We took my weight, measurements and body fat percentage. I do not remember it all but Ill get it and post it when I weigh in next time. She told me what classes to go to at the gym and how often I should do cardo and strength training. Then we set out to see how flexible I was. She was very surprised on how flexible I am but I was not! LOL. She took it easy on me and told me when I was leaving after an hour of meeting with her that next week will be alot harder! O BOY! I have always wanted a trainer from Jr. High when I got out of sports. I set a goal or a dream and here I am going after it!
I have not posted in a while due to...I have not been eating right because due to lack of money. :D Still living on part time money right now. Soon I will have a better pay and be able to eat better! I will be eating carbs because of the work out plan my trainer has me on. She had me get the book Eat- Clean Diet Recharged by Tosca Reno. Great book by the way!
I am so excited on what God has in store for my life through this dream that I have wanted from Jr. High and how God is going to move through me and show me so much more of himself. I was telling my dad that when I have kids I do not want them to see mom as over weight but I want to teach them what is healthy and see that mom eats healthy. I never want my children to struggle with being over weight. :D
One of my facebook friends messaged me a recipe I would like to share! I have not tried it yet but it sure does look yummy! It's called sweet and spicy chicken. You just season skinless chicken tenders with salt, pepper, chili powder and garlic powder. Wrap them in bacon and then roll the wrapped up chicken in a little bit of brown sugar- it doesn't take much at all! And then bake at 400 for about 30-45 mins. I put them under the broiler for about 5 mins and the bacon got crispy. Thanks Katie for sharing!!
I hope all of you have a great week! :D Let me know how you are doing on eating right and working out! I love hearing about it and it helps me!

Day 20, 21 & 22: I may be weak!
" I may be weak, your spirits strong in me. My flesh may fail, my God you never will! Give me faith to trust what you say." worship song :-)
I am so weak at times ladies and gentlemen! I have had so much pride to try and hide who I am and what i really struggle with! I have to tell my self "pride walk out the door!" you read my status right! I am weak but my God is strong. From day one I said my theme verse would be I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I am a person who has struggles like everyone else. But that does not keep me from going toward my goal. Yes, at times my flesh wants certain things (did I find that out this weekend or what!) I can not let that set me back! I will not let that set me back!
I want to encourage each one of you that when you fail, do not stop and keep striving toward your goal. It's "your" goal! You make it what it is. You are your worst enemy! Hit yourself for what you did but get back up! Did you hear me ?!! GET BACK UP! What are you going to do today to go toward your goal?

Day 17 & 18: cancer fighting vitamins and minerals
I just want to say thank you to all of y'all who read my blog. My weight has never been something I've been comfortable talking about but now the Lord is working in my life to better my life physically and spiritually. It is a day by day journey. I'm learning to not eat off of my emotions or eat because everyone else is doing it! I'm learning self control which to be honest is totally hard for me and my friend food! With this process and where I am this week is praying and asking the Lord what I can have and what is best for me. I pray hard that it's pizza! Lol I've been eating my meat, eggs, broccoli and other healthy things. No pizza!
This week as you can tell I've been eating subway! Oh no it's carbs! :-) my stomach has shrunk which is the best thing. I don't eat as much and I'm not hungry.
Things I need to work on are being prepared to eat and make dinner even though I'm tired from the day. I was so exhausted last night that I had Taco Tuesday! But one thing I have learned through all this is every meal and every snack is a new decision. I don't have to wait till Monday to start eating healthy or make better choices .
Day 17:
B- two eggs with cheese
S- cheese stick
L- the other half of my subway
As- cheese stick
D- taco Tuesday
Water- 40 oz
Workout- none
Day 18:
B- two eggs with cheese and half avocado
Ms- cheese
L- pork chops, broccoli and salad
As- nothing
D- turkey sub from subway
Workout- one hour cardio

Day 15: carb day
Yup you read the subject right! I ate carbs today! Pizza for lunch and subway for dinner. You may know I play indoor soccer. I ate no carbs last week before my game and I about died! I needed some carbs so I could have some energy for fast indoor soccer game! ( could have made a better lunch!)
You might be thinking... "Mindi but you are on a diet! How could you do that?! Now you won't get back on your diet!"
I want to tell you this is my life and it takes determination. I am making a life change not a diet to follow the rest of my life. I'm make wiser decisions on what I am eating and love eating low carb. I feel so much better like I said before when I do low carb. :-) Do I feel bad that I ate pizza? No. I do have to work on portion control over pizza! I am being honest with you! :-) its one day at a time and one meal at a time! :-)
Day 15:
B- 2 eggs and ham
Ms- nothing
L- pizza
As- nothing
Dinner: 6 inch turkey sub with a lot of veggies
Water: 80 oz
Work out: soccer game
God game me a word this year and it's time. Everything comes in due time.
