Pushing Through the Junk Food

Posted on by

Prepared and ready to go … 6 mile run here I come!

Today I want to hear from you sweet friend. Tell me what you are feeling good about. No matter where you are in your goals, lets give ourselves a pat on the back and say something positive about ourselves.

Remember when we start to compare ourselves to others it robs us of our joy. So today let’s be intentional and say what we are doing right in our lives..

I’m so surprised by how great I felt on my longest run yet. It goes to show that properly fueling your body sets you up for success.

My Prayer Before 1st Chemo

Posted on by

This park is my special place. Before my first chemo treatment I sat here and prayed to God 5 simple words, “May your will be done“. At that point I did not know what was going to happen or what the journey was going to look like, but I released it to him that day.

I invite you to pray this simple prayer with me. God, may your will be done in my life.

Whatever goals you’re working on or the dreams you have I encourage you to hand them over to God and ask him to guide and lead you.

Romans 12:2 tells us that the renewing of our mind will literally transform us. To accomplish our goals we must have the mindset of Christ, which is positive. I firmly believe I would not be where I am today if I would have given up and had a negative mindset when I was learning to walk again after my illness.

How are you doing with your mindset? What is your mind focused on?

Lets say our affirmation together: I am worthy.

Whatever your goal is I want you to know YOU CAN DO IT!!! We can do this together.

What My Coma Can Teach You

Posted on by

I was reminded today on my run of how I felt when I was in a coma. The feeling of being trapped, hot and unable to breathe brought back lots of anxiety.

I thought I was going to have to quit running and just go home. But I stopped myself and thought about it. The feelings of being trapped and anxious are nothing but darkness. That is not light … that is not Jesus. I had to make a choice, believe what the word of God says and speak life to myself or stay in anxiety and fear.

Because of my coma and the anxiety it brings me unexpectedly at different times, I have to be intentional about how I choose to deal with it. The same is true about our goals. How are we going to intentionally deal with the thoughts we have about our goals?

What are you choosing to believe about your goals? Are you choosing to believe the truth about yourself, what you can do and what is possible because of Christ living inside of you? Or are you choosing to believe lies and negativity from the enemy?

Redefining Your Goal

Posted on by

I’m really embarrassed to show you the training video clip at the end … but I think it’s important to let you see me struggling because achieving our goals is not always pretty.

Today’s coaching tip is about redefining our goals.

A few weeks ago we set our goals. My goal is to run a half marathon on Nov. 8, just two days before my book release! But in the back of my mind I had another goal that was kind of blurry. It was to run the half marathon at a certain pace … a pace that is way to fast for me. I’m a pretty SLOW runner and the goal is unrealistic. Honestly, most people walk faster than I run!

So every time I go out for a run I keep putting extra pressure on myself because I’m comparing myself to whether or not I can achieve a faster pace. It’s really silly because my goal is to complete the half marathon period. It doesn’t matter how fast I run it. Just like selling my book, it does not matter how many books are sold, the only thing that matters is that I was obedient to what God called me to do, which was to write the book.

Today I want to encourage you to take a little time and really think about your goal. Do you need to redefine it?

Or are you someone who set a goal but then got off track and said maybe I’ll start later? 

What is God speaking to your heart today about your goals? Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN!

This months give away is this awesome book by Suzanne Eller, The Mended Heart.

Week 1 – Setting Your Goal

Posted on by

Guess what my goal is?

I am training for the Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon on November 8, two days before my book release!

This will be my third half marathon. My first two events I ran with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training and they were amazing experiences! But I must confess, after the second event I said I would NEVER EVER run a half marathon again because I did not have the same experience as the first event. I had slacked off in my training and as a result I was pretty miserable running 13.1 miles the second time around.

It’s very import that we get focused and serious about our goals here. If you are here on my blog, I really want you to make a commitment for the next 12 weeks. I don’t want you to commit half way, but fully commit. Let’s do this together!

In the comments below I want you to write out your SMART Goal. For example here’s mine!

Specific: Run 13.1 miles

Measurable: Nov. 8, 2015 (2 days before Worthy of a Miracle book release!!!)

Attainable: Planned wisely (Meeting with a running coach and allowed adequate time to train.)

Realistic: Yes, I am willing and able.

Timely: 12 week time frame

SMART-Goals

Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN What Happens When Women Say Yes To God devotional by Lysa TerKeurst. Winner announced next Tuesday! I’m so excited to have you running alongside me the next 12 weeks as we accomplish our goals together.

YOU ROCK!!!
