A Life of Honor

So as most of you know the Lord has had me on a journey of honoring him with ALL of me. This was a journey that started back in 2004 & has manifested itself all throughout my life the last 5 years. One consistent theme though has been the area of Honoring Him with my physical health. The Lord has challenged me & pushed me to get up at 4:50 every morning (m-f) and work out at 5:30-6:30 as an act of worship to Him. Since July 21, 2008 I have been going consistently, apart from the vacations & the occasional 3 or 4 day work out weeks. But all in all I would say with 90% certainty I have been honoring him with my health. I started the Body For Life program on January 2, 2009 to serve as the way I base my meals. I have come to a plateau and I'm ready for the next challenge. I think the Lord is so sweet in how He knows where we are & knows what we need right when we need it.
Enter the phone call from my Mom today. She asked me to pray for her because she had just got done working out & asked that I would pray that she continues this journey.
So for the next 4 weeks I am going to partner with her in this journey. Praying, working out, and eating healthy I am going to do this with her! I have included our goals in this blog, see below.

Philippians 4:13 will be our theme!
13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Janna & Joan’s Work out Plan
May 26, 2009 – June 29th 2009

For the next 4 weeks we will stick to our plan, we will be accountable to each other. We WILL NOT cheat (except on our cheat day) & we will call in every Monday to do a summary of our week.

Janna’s Goals:
To pray every morning that I give this over to God & that ultimately it is HE who is in control of my weight loss. As long as I honor Him with the goals I set, I will not be a disappointment.
To lose 2 lbs a week
To work out 5/6 times a week for one hour sessions
To continue eating 5 times a day, one carb, one protein & 2 veggies mixed in there
To have a cheat day or meal at least one time during my week

Joan’s Goals:
· Give workout/weight/food to God every morning! Say a prayer that he would help you to be mindful of what you put in your mouth & that everything would Honor HIM.
Work out a minimum of 3 times a week
Eat healthy every day
Don't forget your cheat day!!
