December 17,2019

As a kick start for my day, I watched this youtube video of Cindy Flores. Her suggested recipes are lovely. I am super inspired to try them out.

 One day at a time. One day at a time girl! You will get there. Slowly but surely.

Chalking it as part of my TO DO for this coming days.

Now, let me just log my food diary.

Done!

Good news! My calorie count is a very GOOD 940.

I made sure I was done with dinner prior to 6pm yesterday. I was able to cut into half my food portions.

Pat on the back now!

The rest of the goals for the day:

Dance exercise for 15 minutes

50 stomach crunches

50 leg raises

Drink more water

Use the PAUSE button

Breathing 1-10 when the situation gets overwhelming

Write that letter NOT TO BE SENT if I need to!

Plan your WORK…WORK your plan.

Forty Day Daniel Diet Plan December 16 2019

Forty Days with the Daniel Diet Plan

11:54am

I just recorded my calorie count and food portions. The bad news: 2125 calories. The good news: I did at least 15 minutes of dancing.

I will just remind myself that  : small steps equal big results, progress and not perfection is my steady goal.

This morning before I stood up, I did 20-25 leg raises on each leg.  It got the blood going in my system.

Listening to this again:

Slowly reduce and remove white rice from my diet.

More water each day.

Load up in fruits and veggies  and nuts and whole grains.

Fast from social media.

Daily food diary.

Dance exercise at 8am tomorrow and every other day. Skipping one day in between.

I just finished reading the  Dr. Josh Axe’s website. There are some recipe’s I would like to try out in Jesus mighty name, I claim like the minestrome soup and the stir fry veggies.

Daniel Diet Plan

10:34pm

I attempted to review and remember the things I ate yesterday. Being a very busy day, all I can remember is having a hearty almost midnight snack last night…the same with Thursday evening. Bottom line, right after recording my Dec.12 food diary prior to dinner…all hell broke lose again.

Tonight, I logged in my food diary. I hesitated to check for the calorie consumptions and portions.

Will I succumbed to laziness and procrastination again?

I decide to do it. Here goes.

10am Tim Horton’s Caramel Coffee ( Medium)  110 calories

2 chocolate glazed tidbits ( donut holes)              140

Beef steak in creamy mushroom sauce                 470 ( approx)

Salmon fillet with beans + button potatoes          520 calories

2 swedish meatballs                                                    76

Petra’s BBQ chicken                                                  226

Petra’s Koshari                                                           270 calories

Grand total                                                               1812

Indeed, a record of over indulgence once again.

How do I end this note?

With another dose of Daniel Diet Plan viewing and resolutions.

December 12,2019

6:42pm

I missed two days of logging my food diary.

I just finished recording my food intake for today. No dinner yet and I am already hitting 2400 calories approx.

Do I give up again?

I resolved to listen to this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbKnMmD0PUA

Topic : FITNESS

Yes, I am not giving up.

How to be like the prophet Daniel. Obedient. Glorifying God with his discipline and obedience.

I am  Daniel strong!

Pursuing excellence in our bodies, hearts, minds and souls all for the glory of God. ( Sean Foy)

Leaning on God’s power, not our own,  will make all the difference in the world.

Check point? Are you relying on yourself? Or are you relying on God?

“ There is a greater reason to be healthy than just looking good. The greater reason is to be fit to serve God.”

“ Small steps equal big results. Progress, not perfection.”

Mental exercise: Picture yourself in the most relaxing place of vacation. Your favorite vacation spot. Place to be.

Picture yourself as healthy, as fit as you can possible be.

What do you look like?

What do you feel like?

What is different about you?

What would you do with your newfound health and fitness?

What is it maybe God is calling you to do?

What is in your heart that you feel passionate to do?

What would that BIG DREAM be for you?

Key Area #1  What could be? What is it that you can honor God with?

Transformation is possible.

Key Area #2  What type of exercise do you enjoy doing?

The best exercise that will get you in shape is the one you will do. What do you enjoy?

Identify your fitness personality. Are you a solo exerciser?

Are you a social exerciser?

Or are you a little of both?

Be intentional. Schedule your exercise each day like any other appointment.

Get a buddy to encourage you in your fitness goals.

Focus on dreaming BIG and being DANIEL STRONG.

December 9,2019

9:10am

FOCUS on renewing one’s mind.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOsIy_kRBrk

How to overcome stress, negative thought patterns and  setbacks to stay on tract.

Dr. Daniel Amen says:

“Lifestyle choices we make, has a huge impact on brain health.”

Better brains for better lives.

Faith, why do you care?

Food, fitness makes sense.

Focus is about brain health and getting our thoughts right.

3 key areas to maximize brain health:

Care, stop, do.

Brain envy. It is a 3 pound gorilla between our ears that determine a lot of our personality, judgements, decisions etc.

You had a brain injury, you are depressed, you are not eating right. People tend to become sadder,sicker  and poorer.

We should start to care for our brain…that is why it is called BRAIN ENVY.

What should we stop doing?

Drugs and alcohol are damaging for the brain.

It does not take rocket science to know that.

Sleep apnea.

Untreated depression.

Inflammation due to omega 6 food like corn, soy and sugar etc.

KNOW BETTER,DO BETTER.

Food can be medicine or food can be poison.

Eat right to think right.

Gratitude brings your focus on the right things.

Writing down 3 things you are grateful for everyday, increases our sense of happiness.

You are not stuck with the brain you have, you can make it better.

LIFESTYLE and SUPPLEMENTAL intervention.

51% of all Americans will have a challenge with psychiatric disorder sometime within their lifetime.

First do no harm.

Birth control pills drops your Seratonin levels in your body.

Seratonin is the don’t worry, be happy, feel good chemical/ hormone in our bodies.

Check on FAITH, FOOD, FITNESS, FOOD AND FOCUS.

Day #2 with the Daniel Diet Plan

December 7,2019

Day 2

40 Days with the Daniel Diet Plan

6:49pm

I woke up this morning feeling so sluggish.

The culprit, our late night snacks after watching Frozen 2 in the nearby Mirqab Mall.

We had the following after munching snacks in the  Flik Cinema:

1 round Siopao Pandesal                 200 calories

2 cups of toasted white peanuts    600 calories

McDonalds Hot Fudge Sundae       200 calories

McDonalds Cheesy Fries                 600 calories

Kiwi fruits + Red Plum                     200  calories

A whopping  1800 Calories.

Hmmmm ….

Tsk Tsk!

Admittedly, I am in the tail end of a challenging blue depression. I will slay this soon in Jesus mighty name.

Another thing I need to incorporate into my current diet plan is to put my food diary in a nice clean table form. Soon!

For lunch, here is what I ate:

2 cups of  lugaw or chicken porridge ( leftover)   125 x 3 = 375 Calories

2-3 slices of beef in soup                                                            227 Calories ( approx) https://mobile.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/vegetable-beef-soup-home-recipe

Now for my daily dose of free inspiration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtjNMnB5wWw

Notes taken from it:

Romans chapter 8.

1 Corinthians 6:12 “ I have the right to do anything.” You say- but not everything is beneficial. “ I have the right to do anything” – but I will not be mastered by anything.

1 Corinthians 6:13 “ You say, “ Food for the stomach and stomach for the food, and God will destroy them both.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price…”

Psalm 127:2 It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death, for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.

Proverbs 25 Eating too much honey is not good

Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life.

1 Corinthians 10:31  So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Hipocrates: Let thy food be thy medicine.

Pastor Rick Warren’s prayer:

“ Father, You created our bodies. You sent Jesus to pay for our bodies. Then you sent the Holy Spirit, to live in our bodies. Help us to never forget that our bodies belong to you and not us. Forgive us for the many times we misused, abused our bodies and our health. Today, we commit together, join in a journey of health. To follow Your health plan for Your greater glory. I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.

God’s Food plan is all about abundance and not about DEPRIVATION.

40 Days with the Daniel Diet Plan DAY #1

Dec.6,2019

Hello!

Since, my wordpress site is having some issues, I will post my FIT AND FAB blog here for the meantime.

Here goes:

December 6,2019

1pm

The girls are singing “ Send me your location!” as they are clearing the table.  Ruel is resting by the long sofa while browsing through my CP.

We just had a sumptuous lunch of Petra  bbq chicken, Koshari.

This was right after our heavy/ late breakfast of  lugaw ( Chicken porridge) with lots of chicken liver.

The plan for the day has been settled.

The little one just had another nosebleed, thus, we shall have to forgo the 3pm mass. Although, winter is upon us, the mid day sun can still be harsh.

Now, the girls are  arguing about who goes to the bathroom first.

It is almost a full blown altercation now and meltdown.

Anyway, here is what I ate today so far:

Breakfast at 10:30am    2 pieces liver ( 4 matchbox sizes)( 100 calories.) in 1.5 bowls of porridge yellowed in turmeric power (200 calories). 1.5 boiled egg.(155 calories)  Leftover Pampanga’s chicken tocino ( of last night)  1 matchbox size (100 calories)  TOTAL: 555

Lunch 12:00 noon .   Chicken BBQ  5 matchbox sizes ( 300 calories), 3 cups of Koshari ( 300 calories). 15 ml of Coke. ( 15 calories)   TOTAL: 615

Grand Total of  1170

Here are the things I should be watching out for in my food diary: portions and calorie count.

I should not go over 1300 calories per day.

I should have at least 10-15 minutes of  Cardio.

Tonight, I have to control my intake.

So help me God almighty regain my fit and fab body back as a way to glorify the Holy Spirit residing in me with the Daniel Diet Plan.
