Day 1 of Waking up Before the Sun was Shining

After many struggles this week, I managed to start my month of May personal challenge. My goal is to wake up at 6am every day, Monday through Friday to get my workout complete!

May 6th, 2010 began my journey to a new Michelle. I am ready to commit to getting my workouts done every day so that I can achieve my other goals in life. Today, I went to the gym and did a weight lifting class. I was so proud of myself because I increased the quantity of my weights! If there’s one thing I have learned so far its that “in order to burn fat you NEED to BUILD muscle” and “in order to BUILD muscle you NEED to lift HEAVY”! I can feel a different in my body. I am determined to be lean and not be a possible future candidate for diabetes. After my workout class, I was able to go walk with some friends in the park.

Finding accountability partners to help you through your fitness journey are a must for success. My friends have supported me this far. Knowing you can share any goal with a friend and that they will keep you committed to that goal brings a fire into your soul making you want it even more!

God created the sunrise for our enjoyment! I am so excited to bask in his glory as I continue in my journey.
