Fit Friday

Hi!! So I am going to start Fit Friday again. I used to do this on my CrafTEA Mom blog. I am doing a few challenges to get me motivated and accountable and wanted to share them with you.

Finding time to workout, let alone find time, is one of the main reasons why I love HIIT workouts.  You can do in less than 10 mins, 3-4 days a week. I have been doing HIIT workouts for the past couple of years and it worked for me....up until I got pregnant. HIIT workouts can last from 5 min - 45 mins. The best thing about the workouts is that you can do it all in the comfort of your own home and the best thing is they are free.

You can google it, youtube it, or go pinterest and just search HIIT workouts. I have found a few that I will be doing  this week and has worked for me. They are less than 10 minutes and man do you get a workout. HIIT workouts burn fat calories 9x more than regular cardio workouts and it's in more than half the time.

This is why I love HIIT workouts so much. Don't spend soo much money, as I did, or get bored, with those gimmicky workout videos that you spend $100's on. I bought it used the program and finished and now it just sits there. I love using different Hiit workouts, it changes up thing, you don't get bored with it. You just need a formula to go by. Like something like this. And I will be posting every Friday, they are already scheduled, different workout schedules and plans for it. Will you join me in this journey to get my body back into shape.

Here's what my week will look like next week, subject to change.

Mon - 10 min HIIT workout
Tues - Rest
Wed - 15 min HIIT workout
Thurs - Rest
Fri - 10 min HIIT workout
Sat Rest
Sun Rest

Here are some videos:

5-5-5 Challenge: Week 3

Ok, this new blog format is a bit new to me. I thought this posted yesterday, but somehow it didn't make it.

So it's week 3, and it's been going ok. There has been some hard weeks. I'm doing my juicing still and somewhat working out. Need work on that. With the juicing I've lost 2 inches around the waist, but maybe put them elsewhere. LOL. And Week 2 was a to-do list get on track, and I actually made a list for when I get home. Now that I am working it makes it a little bit difficult, but the lists have seem to be working. I don't cross everything off, but it's ok. I can only do what I can. http://womenlivingwell.org/has some really great resources such as cute printable to do list. Go check it out and the rest of her post, very encouraging. I love this weeks challenge, I have been doing this for a really long time, and when I don't my whole day is shot until I do it. But for the most part right when I wake up it is the first thing I do, even before freshing up. We have to crucify our flesh daily and I want to crucify it before anything else, before I talk to anyone. Giving God our first fruits {our time} is one of the best things you can do in the morning. Even just talking to him in the shower, whateve it is. Give him your time. I know sometimes its hard especially when your running late. But it is so important to make that time for him.

Week 3′s Challenge:

Purpose to not read ANYTHING else before you have read God’s word for at least 1 minute in the morning. Do not read the newspaper, facebook, a spiritual devotional or check your email. Go straight to God’s word first. And in case you think 1 minute seems a bit stingy with our time – I want to suggest – that once you get started most likely you will go for much longer than 1 minute. But I want this to be doable. After reading your Bible, I encourage you to leave your Bible in the kitchen open and everytime you walk past it, pause to read it for 15 seconds and then go on. Squeeze all the nourishment you can out of the scriptures you are reading.

In His Grace and Mercy,
Adrienne

5-5-5 challenge WLW

I made it through the first week Challenge, my goal is to lose 6 inches around the waist. And after two weeks of juicing and some exercise I've lost 2 inches already. YAY!! Praise the Lord! So this week Discipline is time management. I've made up a plan for this week, every week is different and changes so I have to be creative. If I don't do the exercise in the morning I make sure I do it in the evening. I make sure I also have a few rest days in between. Very important..But the most important for me is if I have not spent time with God I can not exercise. My time with God is the upmost important. I make sure that I have spent my time with Him. Sooo very, very important. Not only is taking care of our body is good, we also need to take care of our spiritual body, exercise it and nuture it. So make sure He is first above all else, above everything!

I am so thankful for Courtney @ Women Living Well who is doing this Challenge, stop by her blog and check out her full post. It is very encouraging!! Thank you for stopping by.

Week 2 – Challenge:
1.  Sit down and look at your calendar.  Think about your priorities. {I love this one, I have behind and failing in this area big time}
2.  Pray and ask God to give you wisdom as to what you should be doing with your time. {Very, very important...seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and He will supply all that you need}
3.  Write out a list of what you need to get done this week – don’t forget to write in time with God!  (you can use the free printable below as a guide {at her website go -here}  !)
