Life Changing Moments

Life Changing Moments...

Today is a day that we will add to the list of horrible, unthinkable acts that have and will continue to happen to our nation. We will never understand why people do the evil things that they do. The people that commit these crimes of hate, in their minds (as sick as it is) typically believe they have good reason. It is devastating to think that our mankind can commit these things without the thought of God's Judgment one day. I fear for them, on that day.

Events like this also remind me at how precious life is...that in one blink of an eye, our lives could change forever. It does and it has to many of us. Thus is life...and this is why I choose to take advantage of every single day and make the most of it. I will be damned if I go down not making each day a good one! I am blessed today that I have the ability to eat healthy foods that will nourish my body that God has given to me. I was able to exercise today in order to keep my body strong and fit so when I need to defend myself, I might have some serious ninja moves.

Which reminds me...there was a lady at my son's football game...say...295 lbs...a beefy Samoan lady, try to front me because she felt that I almost stepped on her because I wasn't paying attention. When in fact, I could not miss this lady and was merely walking past her and I probably just blocked her view because she was sprawled out across the lawn and I was trying to walk by. I felt this lady to be extremely rude when even after apologizing a few times and my husband even apologized a few times, she still wouldn't let it go. I was left in a moment with a few voices in my head...

One was telling me to kneel down to her and apologize looking her in the eyes because obviously she was having a horrible day. The other voice was telling me...You are getting muscles! Kick her ass! I took that moment to just give it to God and move on. I find it brave of her being our son's play on the same team and we will be spending an awful lot of time together this season. :) I shall kill her with kindness.
Or not, we shall see.

It is week 4 my friends and I have to admit that I am ready for week 5. I am so excited for Phase 2 of this program so that I can add the cardio part in. I know...weird. In the past, cardio is all I have ever done so I am looking forward to stripping away these fluffy layers and exposing these muscles that I have worked so hard on these last 4 weeks! How exciting!! Aren't you all so excited to see my muscles?? :) Oh.
Maybe I will take a few pics week 5 to give you a sneak peak. Haha.

Now is the part that I need you all to get involved in this blog. I need you all to answer this question about the contest...remember, it's for a cool gift certificate of some sort!
I need you to vote on what contest you prefer to engage yourself in and the most popular vote will win!

1. 30 Day Squats Challenge (previous post): You will private message me your 'Before pic' by the end of this week...and your 'After Pic' 30 days later- to make it fair you will need to post it with a newspaper with the date on it. If you have already started the challenge, send me your pic and I will date it for the day I posted the challenge. This would be a bit revealing to be able to tell...but you would need to be in bikini bottom. Eek! I know!

2. 30 Day Arms Challenge: Get Tank Top Ready! (Less embarrassing for some) Private message me 'Before' Arms photo by the end of this week and your 'After' pics- 30 days later. This would be biceps and triceps photo. I will post cool arm workouts that you will surely feel the burn. Also, would need something with the date on it. Maybe an up close pic of your face and whatever has the date on it along with a photo of you flexing your biceps and triceps.

3. 30 Day Ab Challenge: Before & After Pics. Same thing as above.

So...what will it be? # 1, # 2 or # 3??? If I don't get enough responses I will assume no one is willing to put themselves out there so I will bag the whole idea and go shopping for myself!

VOTING BEGINS....NOWWWWWWWWWW
