Day 16

Woo Hoo! Things are moving along!  I think it is prophetic.  I am getting pamphlets in the mail for 5k and 10k fun runs.  That hasn't happened in over ten years.  I haven't even signed up with a runner's list anywhere.

This morning, my two oldest grand-kids and I went for a one hour and twenty minute walk.  We carried bags and picked up trash, found feathers and other treasures for folk art projects, and I taught them how to "walk like a dog." ( Click here to read how to walk like a dog!)

This afternoon I am going swimming, and my stamina is astounding me!  The fast is coming along.  I think I am going to take a break from water and eat some more kale and a little piece of fish.

Even thought the scale is stuck, this morning my darling grand-daughter said, "Grandma, your arms are getting skinny!"

 LOL!  Wish it could be my butt!

Keep it going!  Some is better than none!   Blessings!

Day 43! To the Glory of God!

1 Corinthians 10:31 b "...Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

This Scripture has been ringing in my heart these past couple of weeks as my workout schedule has given way to life.  Last week it was Vacation Bible School.  This week it has been walking around the most beautiful college campus I have ever seen in the United States, The University of San Diego, and around the surrounding area.  Wow!  It makes me want to go back to school and just learn everything!

But, as I think about my workout in terms of life and how it can fit in, I see that every health challenge must become a way of life.  Whether we are spending time in the gym or simply executing our daily life necessities, we can be intentional.  I can't help but get excited about how the last month and a half have helped me prepare for my life now!  I know I would not have been able to withstand the rigors of the level of activity I have been experiencing, if not for the new discipline in my life.  I want to encourage you to not give up!  I know I say that a lot, but I need to hear it, so I am assuming you do, too!

Diet-wise, I have been sort of eating what has been provided. I have missed a few meals, but I know I need more discipline, and I have been lax in asking God for His point of view on meals....I repent!!

Keep it up! I know you are feeling better!  I have been wondering how many of you would  be interested in meeting somewhere to do a fun run/walk in the fall somewhere in the middle of the country, or the middle of Texas??  Let me know. I have a few pals who are interested.  I would be fun to meet some of our cyber-friends!

Goodnight for now. God Bless. Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!  Anna Marie
