Day 11 challenge here:
http://www.triciagoyer.com/let-god-be-your-oxygen-no-more-frumpy-mommy-moms-night-out-challenge-day-11/

How can you let God be your oxygen?

-I need to have more personal prayers with God so I can get personal comfort and guidance from Him.

-I need to learn to trust God more fully. I like to plan and schedule and make lists, and sometimes I’m not very flexible. Sometimes things happen so that we have the opportunity to help someone or grow from an experience.

-I need to do more consistent personal scripture study-several times a week or daily.

I have really enjoyed these past 11 days of challenges from Tricia Goyer!! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my personal opinions and thoughts on her questions.

My exercise workouts last week-Week 2 of #barre3SpringChallenge with Sadie Lincoln

Posted on May 21, 2014 by EmpowerMoms

Finished week 2 of the Barre3 Spring Challenge this past Sunday. I wasn’t happy with how my week went because my right hip has been hurting. I think doing 60 mins of a Barre workout all at once, multiple times a week has aggravated it. 🙁 (I already have right hips issues and need to be adjusted by a chiropractor to get it back into place but I haven’t been doing it.) I was really discouraged this weekend wondering what I should do because I didn’t want to give up doing Barre work with only 2 more weeks of the challenge. Then I decided that just because I can’t do 60 minutes of Barre every day, doesn’t mean I should give up. I will just do 10-20 minutes of Barre along with other workouts to get my daily 1 hour of a workout in!! I decided to include Leslie Sansone walking dvds and 21 Day Fix strength training with weights dvds.

Here’s my workouts this week:

Monday:

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Yard work with the family

Friday:

Still trying to eat healthy as I struggle to figure out whats wrong with my body and why I’m so bloated and gassy. Looking into gluten free items and trying to be gluten free this week.
