Revolt Fitness Update: Plan for Success
Memorial Week is coming and we get a free couple of days right?
We are heading out to go camping and hit the beach! I am super excited about this weekend. But I know that the first things that come to my mind is that I'm going to through off my whole eating great and exercising out the window... and opt in for hot dogs and burgers and chips and salsa and junk food!
Well...I got permission to get a free day with the Revolt Fitness Program! Yay! Nichole says we can get a nice easy day! Besides, I think it keeps us from binging and gaining more weight because of what we "can't" eat. Homemade Pizza is what I usually crave.
Preparation:
One way to keep things in check during this Memorial Weekend is to prepare. One way I am preparing is by making good food that is healthy and readily available for me! Otherwise I will move to the salty snacks and sweet snacks loaded with sugar! Snacking on Fruit...is better right?
Another thing I am doing for this Memorial Weekend is packing healthier alternatives. ConfessionI love my chips, and I know someone is going to show up with their bag of Doritos or Cheezits, so I am combating that urge to grab a handful of Cheesy goodness by bringing my own healthier chips! I was kind of excited because these are 23 chips per seving. And it's about 120 calories! Not bad at all and it is better than the other chips I know I'll get into if I don't have a battle plan!
I would like to invite YOU to join up for the June Revolt Uprising starting up soon! Don't despair if you feel you are way to far to change...you won't regret it.
If you are looking to make a change this month, Revolt is definitely for you! Right now you can sign up for $10 a month, $27 for three months OR $50 Annual Membership!

Pastors' Wives Book Review and Ipad Mini Giveaway
Why I liked this Book:
Intriguing Characters:
In this book we follow three women all of whom are the wives of pastors. They are all linked up together in this mega church that seems to be as popular as one being the president!
Each of these woman present to us a different perspective of being a pastors' wife. At first we are met with Candace. Candace who is by far exudes the perfection of being the ideal of everything a pastor's wife ought to be. She is somewhat cold, calculating, and in control of her emotions, thoughts, and actions in every way it seems. When it comes to her family she is passionate and loves them with a fierceness, but to others she seems to be distant and observant. She is in a sense takes on being the pastor's wife to the fullest in all its seriousness. She directs and orchestrates everything so as to leave her husband free to do what God wants him to do. She is the watchful eye of the whole mega church it seems! Inwardly she is always thinking "what can she do", "what is her purpose?". I feel like this is one of my favorite parts about her, is that she always asks herself what her purpose is.
Next is Ginger. Ginger poses as the wife who is like the Martha in the Bible. Serving, Doing, and laying down her own wants and desires for others. She presents the wife that seems to be the wallflower. Living underneath the pressure of Candace, she tends to judge herself and see herself through the eyes of Candace. She feels that her life is a misery living underneath such pressures and decides to take things into her own hands...in order to find purpose in her life besides simply being there to support her husband. She is not happy with her marriage or where she is in life--living beneath the seemingly condescending eyes of her mother in law Candace.
Ruthie. Now Ruthie took me by surprise. I cannot imagine what it would be like for a marriage to take on such change so quick. From ordinary woman and then become a pastor's wife in such a short amount of time! I do not know how I would take that news that life as I knew it would be so changed! What is more, is that from the beginning to the end she is struggling with one thing. Faith. Her faith in God. Her struggle in this all is almost like fitting in. She is a catholic unsure of her place in this megachurch. She also considers whether or not she belongs in such a place with her husband.
I am able to relate to these characters:
Maybe there is a Candace in every woman's mind including a pastor's wife. That perfect wife who is poised and in control of emotions and thoughts. I feel like she is incredulously perfect and I tend to hate her for it! Then towards the book events happen that make realize that indeed that even Candace is a human and has faults here and there and does have her breakdowns.
I can understand through Ginger's life how maybe a wife can feel the pressure of family members, congregation, and friends. That we become miserable under that scrutiny! Not to mention carrying a burden from her past. I feel like as women we tend to forget to forgive ourselves for sins and mistakes in the past. It can weigh us down if we do not believe in the grace and forgiveness of God. Another thing I learned through her life was that perhaps being under the shadow of her husband can be hard and tough. Not that we do not support our husband, but not seeing that we have a purpose as an individual can be a nightmare. I loved seeing her struggles, and cheered for her when she started taking a stand. There has to be a balance in the family--even if one is marrried to a pastor who is married to God!
Through Ruthie's life I can identify being in new places and not quite fitting in. Her faith in God is challenged and she is faced with the very real choice of does she even believe in God? I have never thought the wives of pastors could ever be faced with even a simple concept of faith in God.
Unexpected Plot:
I could not believe where the author, Lisa Cullen, took us! It was exciting and also unexpected outcome for all three of these ladies! I loved how the turn out was...and all their struggles sort of came to a head and surprised me. Though it always seems that something so big as a mega church needs something big as what happened to Candace's husband, Aaron Green. I felt myself really liking the ending a lot.
Conclusion:
Overall I did enjoy this book. The middle parts of the book sort of felt long to me, and took me a while to get through, but the intensity of the plot got me going. I just needed to find out what happened to these women! I am not sure about what it is like to be in a mega church, and it is a bit disturbing that pastors are treated as mega super stars. Not that they aren't awesome or good or even humble, but it does really put them on a pedestal. I would also be so afraid to meet their wife! Haha I do not want to meet a Candace anytime soon. I sort of feel like I wish I could get to know some of the real women who are pastors' wives. It would be neat to get a real non fictitious outlook at their lives. For me it feels like I would not want to get into the hype of a mega church...for I felt like some of the things that might go on would be very superficial and for a wow factor.
But what really got me was the passionate search for who they are in all this. Each woman's devotion and love to their husband and duty to find their faith in the midst of their struggles took a hold of me. I really felt that Ruthie's part in this book made me feel like she was mirroring the Author's voice, thoughts and opinions in it all. I loved it and felt that each of these women were extraordinary in their own way as they faced their struggles.

Meet Author Lisa (From the Litfuse Website):
Lisa Takeuchi Cullen was a longtime staff writer for TIME magazine. She now develops TV pilots for production companies and recently sold her first pilot for "The Ordained" to CBS. Born in Japan, Cullen lives in New Jersey with family.Lisa Takeuchi Cullen was born and raised in Kobe, Japan. Her father was a Roman Catholic priest from Philadelphia, sent by his religious order to a provincial city in southern Japan where he met Cullen’s mother, the coddled daughter of a wealthy merchant. She converted, he left the priesthood to marry her, and it all caused quite the scandal. As if in penance, they raised the four children in strict devotion, never allowing them to miss a Mass or their turn at the dinner-table Bible reading.
As she was in the beginning stages of writing Pastors’ Wives, several intense life changes lit in her a profound need to reconcile her faith: the loss of her mother to cancer, her father’s death nine months later, the birth of her second child, and leaving her job as a staff writer at Time magazine. Cullen feels that in many ways writing Pastors’ Wives saved her. Through the characters and their journeys in faith, she was able to examine her own.
Cullen was a foreign correspondent and staff writer for Time magazine, covering social trends, news, arts and business in the U.S. and Asia. Her first book, Remember Me: A Lively Tour of the New American Way of Death, was about the year she spent crashing funerals and was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers pick. She now writes novels and develops television pilots. Pastors’ Wives is her first novel, and Lisa recently sold a pilot about a former priest who becomes a lawyer to CBS. Production on the first episode of The Ordained is now in production. Cullen lives in New Jersey with her husband and two daughters.

Revolt Fitness: June Uprising
There will be a June Revolt Uprising starting soon! I cannot believe that it has almost been a month for me since starting my own Revolt. Though I have failed and missed out on a couple of exercises, I love that each new week is in fact a new week! I can be encouraged by the other women in this program to help me up and out of my cloud of defeat. The facebook private site for Revolt Bloggers has been one of the keys to my success. I am encouraged, challenged, and most importantly---not alone in my Revolt Uprising. I love the tips I get from the community, and I feel like it gives me a positive outlook on exercise.
I feel like my body is growing stronger little by little, and I am excited as I am slowly fitting my jeans and t-shirts in the way that I like them! I love being able to feel comfortable in my own clothes and body again.
I also have been feeling like I have been emotionally more stable, physically more capable, and that I have more energy to play with my daughter.
One of the biggest inspirations I have is my daughter. I want to look forward into the future be able to keep up with her, and be there along her side. I want health for her life not only mine! In this Revolt Uprising for myself I realize that my eating habits and lifestyle affect us as a family. I want to be that example to her, and be able to set exercise as a part of her life. Oh and..hehe Ignore the Krispy Kremes!
Well, that is where I am at in this Revolt! I have lost 4-5lbs. In the process of forming better eating habits. Gaining muscle and losing fat! I have lost almost 2% in Body Fat since joining up for the May Uprising.
With that said, I would like to invite YOU to join up for the June Revolt Uprising starting up soon! Don't despair if you feel you are way to far to change...you won't regret it.
If you are looking to make a change this month, Revolt is definitely for you! Right now you can sign up for $10 a month, $27 for three months OR $50 Annual Membership!

Once Upon a Prince Book Review and a Kindle Fire Giveaway!
Why I Enjoyed this Book:
Maybe it is the romantic inside of me still that is rekindled by reading this book. But I really felt that this was overall a refreshing well-written book. Author Rachel Hauck did such a good job with the story line of this book. For a reader like me I appreciate it when there is a good story line with a great deal of depth. I do not like simple. I do not like boring when it comes to books. Hauck does well in keeping me intrigued.
- The Relatable Realistic Characters
She kept me intrigued by developing the characters though the characters' setting, their jobs, their past, their wants, and their family. I could picture each person in St. Simon's Island and what they were doing! I could picture right away the Family BBQ restaurant Susanna and her family owned. The characters and their relationships with one another really creates interest for me as a reader. It makes me feel more apart of the story because I can "see" through their eyes and "feel" what they feel.
- Appreciation for the Biblical Christian Point of View
Early on in my teenager life, I put away a lot of romance books. For one thing they never acknowledged God in them, and always did things "out of order". Authors went beyond PG and the descriptions and words made me feel ashamed. Though I enjoyed a good love story, I did not wish for details! The absence of values and morality in these books I read never made me feel like the union between the two lovers right or even satisfied. I would always be left thinking of that other person whom they left, or thinking that how they got together was just not right. So I was usually left perplexed and unhappy because I would think that the end doesn't justify the means even if it is just a fictitious love story!
That is why I so appreciate Hauck's Biblical, Christian point of view in her book! There is a balance between romance, love, and God. Between Susanna and Nate is God, always. There is integrity and honor between the two. Though there is great chemistry between both of them....there is always some reference to a Bible verse, or a prayer or a thought of not indulging in sin or awaking love when it can't be fulfilled. Their actions to have no interaction...really had me applauding and appreciating their love story! It was by no means a boring book though because they had integrity. Rather it felt like the characters were growing to admire and respect one another. There was a deep sincerity to their love that was more than just "falling in love". One could see that their love for one another grew and matured through their chastity and through their giving up of their wills, wants and desires to God.
The way she interweaves faith in God and His timing with a dash of fairy dust and romance is simply perfect.
- Plot and Story Line were familiar but complicated in its resolve
The beauty of God working behind the scenes was a bit "too good to be true" and a bit Hallmark picture, but I did not mind as am somewhat of a Hallmark junkie. So I immediately knew who and who were going to be together in the end, but it's all in the journey that matters most to me! I hate simplicity if it is too predictable. And Hauck kept the storyline interesting and made a lot of neat twists and complications that I welcomed. She did keep me reading till I had finally got the resolve I wanted! It was such a glorious satisfying ending that I cried and laughed!
Some Awkward Moments:Now I have to admit that there were really awkward moments in the book where faith is shown that I thought was raising an eyebrow. Example: When Susanna and Nate were having a picnic and prayed for the first time, I was thinking how both characters had not really established their faith in God towards one another yet to the point of out of the blue praying together. At least I do not recall them talking to each other about their faith in God. I thought it was a bit awkward. It seemed from then on all other times they prayed it was less awkward, but I remember being caught off guard when they did it the first time!
Hauck did try to show how Nate's mother put down her will for the greater good, but I did feel it was not as developed. It played a small part in her book, and reminded me of the Princess Diaries. I felt the book could have done without and been the better for it. I am glad though that it did not take away too much from the book.
Conclusion:
Though there were parts in the book that seemed very unreal and too good to be true, I did appreciate how Hauck demonstrated the laying down of our own will for God's Will is beautiful. Not saying that everything will come out as fairy tale as this book, but God does work things out beautifully when we give everything up into His hands. The struggle each Susanna and Nate went through was pretty realistic. I love how I felt like I could feel what they were feeling. Their mental status and feelings could be felt through the pages of the book. I loved being able to relate to the characters' struggles. Constantly I found myself laughing and shaking my head or rooting for them. I felt that the characters were well developed with a nice background to them. The main characters were deep and meaningful that they are quite memorable.
I did enjoy this book and would recommend reading to others. It is one of those books that I have that I desire to read again and get lost in its pages and characters. Though it did have some of its awkward moments, it will not stop me from reading more books from Rachel Hauck. She does have a knack for writing a story that not only draws me in, but keeps wanting to read on until the last page.

Squat Challenge Day 3
So I have posted about the Squat Challenge on Tuesday, and wanted to let you know that yesterday was by far one of the toughest in terms of soreness! I am on Day 3 with 65 Squats done. I am not so sore, and feeling great. Do not get me wrong it was challenging to get to 65, but I am awful happy I pressed through. I am feeling a bit more stronger and my legs and bum are gaining muscle and losing fat little by little.
Happy Squatting...lol

Anyone up for a Squat Challenge?
After doing my 50 squats I felt it was fun for something and my toddler to do and laugh about. Nothing too serious--rather so much fun! And that is what it is all about enjoying my toddler and making fitness fun for both her and I.
Day 1 Down! Just 29 days more to go. Join me or print it out for later! I found the picture below from LiveStrongLiveLean.com
Lower Body Sculpt: Revolt Fitness
Today I did the Week 4 Lower Body Sculpt. This is my second week joining Revolt with Nichole Huntsman. I am doing level 1 exercises, and I have to say that I can see how I am very weak when it comes to the lower body!
I warmed up with Jumping Jacks, Knee to Elbow raises, Slow big movement with my arms going in a circle and picking up my legs.
My Challenges in this Level 1 Lower Body Sculpt will be the following:
- Holding the Plank for 30 Seconds
- Leaning back (for reals) with the Lean Backs
- Hip Raises
I really had to fight to keep myself from dropping to my knees with the Plank. My daughter started coming over, and I wanted to quit! So my challenge is not to give up on myself and simply fall to my knees because I don't want the pain.
Leaning Back on the Lean Backs. This is a weird exercise I have never done before. You are on your knees and toes leaning back and coming back up. Yes my Lower Body needs to be strengthened, as I hardly want to lean back to get the real exercise.
Nichole goes really slowly with the Hip Raises. She is very strong and controlled when she is doing these Hip Raises! I feel my body want to swing my legs up and down which is not truly working those muscles I need to be working.
These are my challenges when it comes to down to doing it again and toning and strengthening my Lower Body.
Again this is my motivation for my mind to think positively and to keep moving forward.

Week 2 of Revolt Fitness!
With family visiting, I just could not find the time to exercise for most of last week. Ugh, I hate excuses, but now that they are gone...I have none! So off to my workout I go. I have been eating well inspite of being on the go constantly. I did choose to eat healthy grilled meats and fishes along with a bowl full of vegetables. Opting out for ranch I choose oil and vinaigrette dressings. I feel good about my decisions and on cheat day...I did get a slice of pizza. And I didn't blame my daughter for not wanting to eat another egg salad sandwich all this week too!
Getting up and out of the Cloud of Negativity:
Getting up to exercise takes a lot. Especially when it seems the world or people are against you. The looks the stares---the downers of not fitting into a dress you so badly wish you could wear, all that negativity can freeze up a person. I know I have allowed negativity stop me from being who I need to be. I know that feeling of shame can stop a person into hiding under the blankets. I know this because I have been there. It is not a "beautiful" place to be.

It is not a "beautiful" place to be.
I am crawling out from under the blankets again, and I hope that for those who feel like they can't will feel like they can after reading this post. I am not much of an athletic person. I love reading, writing, music...lol But I remember when at my best physical shape I was a runner. Not the fastest or best runner in the world, but one that never gave up a race. I always finished it and did my best to give my all. Never walking always running even if it seemed that walking would be easier.
But the key thing is: Don't Give Up!
Don't you give up on yourself and think that you can't. You are not alone. Starting out on between levels 1 and 2 with Nichole's program is a bit hard! I have to say sore sore sore! But I feel great after sweating through it all. I do find myself wanting to quit, but her music keeps me going, and checking in with the other ladies keeps me wanting to see the changes in my body.
5 more weeks to go in this Fitness challenge:
I am joining a group of women of all levels, weight ranges, stages of life...and we are all joining up to take on healthy habits by exercising eating right with Revolt Fitness--a 6 week program! With this program there is a facebook support page where all of us women are being accountable to eachother. Sharing our experiences, laughing, struggling, and just encouraging each other to keep on keeping on.
Nichole creator of Revolt Now Fitness includes in her program a 6 week diet program along with a 6 week exercise program. I find it really encouraging to have meal plans and an idea of what to eat and shop for. It is all listed out to help me on my way to a better fit body.
All in all I am starting at ground zero after losing all the weight a couple of months ago. Not happy with gaining a lot more this time around, but a better tomorrow starts now!
