Pain and Gain

God is faithful, true and good for generations. 

He never leaves us alone.

We are not forsaken nor forgotten.

He hears our prayers and understands our pain. 

He is our strong tower, our rock, salvation and hope. 

There are things that are just beyond our control and understanding, 

all we could do is trusting God to do the best in our lives. 

Whatever happened, will happened in His time and permission.

Nothing will occur in my life without God knowing it, fighting for me 

and shielding me with His mighty power. 

I am weak, He is strong. 

I am limited, He is unlimited. 

I am not perfect, He is perfect. 

I face storms, He calms them down. 

I am forever grateful for every pain and gain in my life,

for my God is with me 

until the end

♥

Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you,

 declares the Lord, 

plans for welfare and not for evil,

 to give you a future and a hope. 

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, 

and I will hear you. 

You will seek me and find me, 

when you seek me with all your heart."

100 Miles

August is my birthday month,

I am going to give myself a birthday present by doing this "100 Miles Challenge."

A friend of mine did that on July and I am doing this on August.


First Day (7.10 Miles) yeah baby!!

Basically,

I will run, swim, bike, hike for a total of (at least) 100 Miles this month.

It is not too much if you start it now!

My fitness level has been up and down this year,

So I am determined to start living healthy again.

I just love the feeling of a healthy body,

the energy level, the good mood, the confidence, the toned muscle, the sharp mind, the strength, the joy of wearing skinny jeans ;)

I am not into "skinny to the bone"-unhealthy- body type,

I am into athletic healthy body!

We have one life, one body, one soul to take care of now,

So we better take very good care of it.

When it comes to working out,

Do what you love to do,

What works for you!

The first step is always the hardest,

Do one step at a time,

Once your body tastes the beauty of being healthy,

Your body will beg you for more challenge.

Educate yourself, 

ask your personal Doctor or

ask those who are experts in working out, 

hired a trainer if needed, 

enroll into a gym,

or use nature as a free and useful place, equipment and tools!

I like working out by myself,
(sometimes I run with my husband and my dog)
but I love support group to lift me up when I am lazy or lose focus.
Find your work out buddy (if you like to do it with others),
Build a support system/group that works for and with your lifestyle,
including telling your spouse to support you in this journey.

Nourish your body with good foods
(healthy food does not mean taste bad),

Give yourself a rest (and treats occasionally lol),

Enjoy life by doing things that you love,

Find a balance in life to fulfilled a better-healthier-happier-life.

Life is God's gift to me,

What I do with my life is my responsibility.

If you do not like what  you see or how it makes you feel,

Do something to change it,

Because excuses, complaining, pity party, blame game and comparing
will never do you any good or progress.
