Working Out

For me it's hard to get motivated to work out. Though after I do, I feel so much better. But, every day it's hard coming home from work and getting up enough energy to go out and do something. Most days I'd rather just eat dinner and sit in front of the T.V.

I used to be pretty fit back in high school and a few years after that I kept up with working out. I even did pretty well this past summer for a few months getting back into it. It felt really good too. I only stopped because I was training for the Susan G. Komen 3-day. It was hard to focus on walking when I was lifting weights too. After the walk, which was in November, I lost one of my toe nails and was in some pain for a week. Never got back into the routine of working out.

For the past two Saturdays I have been going to 24 Hour Fitness for their kickboxing class. This past Saturday I also did Zumba. I think it sparked a little motivation for me. Plus having friends to workout with helps tremendously. So from now on a friend and I will be working out on a regular basis starting tonight.

I have a little over 2 months to get fit for the cruise. Now, I know I don't need to lose any weight, but I am extremely out of shape. I can't walk up a few stairs without huffing and puffing. It's aweful!! I need your support in this. Plus you know in the Bible it says, "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple." (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) If for no other reason we should workout for that alone.



ENUGGET: If you too need a jump start my suggestion is find a workout buddy. You can help keep eachother accountable, motivated,and encouraged. Because if you are anything like me you won't do it on your own.

Be Blessed and keep up the good work!!
