Daily meal planning

Trust in lord with all your heart lean on not your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him he will guide you, if you trust GOD in and with everything he will make your crooked paths straight, he will bring every circumstance and situation to pass. Today we are talking about meal planning Here is what a typical day of healthy meals looks like wake up drink 16 ounces of water upon waking , eat your first meal within a hour of waking Breakfast 1 whole egg 2 egg whites with baby spinach , and 1/2 cup of oatmeal Snack 3 hours later- protein shake made with unsweetened almond milk I recommend dymatize (low carb whey) Lunch 3 hours later 4 oz chicken breast , 1/2 cup of brown rice , steamed broccoli snack 3 hours later protein shake or 2 rice cakes with peanut butter and bananas Dinner 3 hours later - 4 oz tilapia grilled, or chicken 6 oz for men , veggie of choice optional : protein shake 1 hour before bed you can switch out veggies and complex carbs just make sure your carbs are the good carbs :) I also recommend keeping a food journal so you can track what you ate and when you ate it

Meal Planning for Weight Loss

In life we have to plan. Plan around work, kids activities, time to clean, and so on. But its also imperative that we plan our lives by speaking life speaking GODS word over ourselves and our family daily. No matter what it looks like, no matter what your bank account says, no matter what the economy says, no mater what the Dr's report says Speak life. Speak The word in season and out of season. By speaking life you plan the future days of your life.  I Daily confess, I am blessed coming and blessed going, I am the head and not the tail, my latter days will be better than my former days, why? Because GODS word has promised me this! (2 Corinthians 4:13 -¹³ Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak-)
70% diet and 30% exercise is what will change your body
Your diet or as I call lifestyle of eating, because you don't just diet your change the way you eat for life for permanent results!  In order to do this successfully you must plan and prepare meals. You can take time on Sunday afternoon and get your meals ready for the week or you can do this every night . I bought a 6pack fitness bag , they have two options you can pack three meals with snacks and your supplements or they have a 6 meal bag. I use the 3 meal bag , I eat my breakfast at home, then my snack, lunch, and another snack meal while at work , I usually have my last snack meal right at I am leaving work and headed to the gym. You don't have to have one of these bags but I promise they make it easier. Find what works for you and have your meals ready to eat for the day. This will keep you on track and from eating fast food or junk food because its easier.

Fight to the Finish! /Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter smoothie

We all go through things in life, maybe you were just laid off, maybe your marriage is on the rocks, maybe you've been hit with a diagnosis.  The bottom line is are we going to trust what we see or what GOD has promised us? God's Promises are always YES and AMEN! His word has promised us Health, great marriages, to prosper us! His word never Returns Void! (Isaiah 55:11) In my life when I have been faced with difficulties and trials, I have a scripture that I always stand on! I love this scripture so much and its a reminder to me that if I stand on GOD's promises for me That I win! God is faithful! I love this scripture so much that I had it tattooed on my foot! This reminds me daily no matter what I face, no matter what the enemy is throwing at me, GOD is BIGGER !  I keep my shield of Faith raised and the enemy can not penetrate it!  So I encourage you no matter what your facing stand strong, on Gods promises!! He won't fail you!! 
Ephesians 6:12-18

The Message (MSG) A Fight to the Finish

^10-12 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

^13-18 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out
