It's tough to put it all down on cyber-paper. This adventure I'm on to hit the reset button on 45 years of bad habits takes a lot of concentration and thought. But man, does it feel good. Working out very consistently now, six days per week for at least 30 - 45 minutes per day. Meeting lots of lovely people and oddly enough - God's given me the privilege of a little ministry right there at the Curves I now belong to. It happened right after my last post, "Don't talk to me while I'm sweating."
Apparently, God thought that post was hiLARious, because the very next day one of the girls at the gym ended up talking to me about a problem she was facing, and God gave me the right words that night. And the night after that. And the night after that. And last night. I'm humbled by the thought that He's rewarding me with a ministry right there, where I seem to be spending so much time. He is truly awesome.
The other cool/weird/mildly interesting thing that's happened in the last week is that more and more people are learning about this journey that I've started. I guess when you walk around all day with a BodyBugg strapped to your arm, people ask questions (right, Joy?). :-)
In a way, it's a good thing because it holds me accountable to a lot of people who are watching. But, it's also a bad thing because it holds me accountable to a lot of people who are watching. I still don't have the guts to share a blog post on FB, but maybe someday.
Being intentional takes a lot of effort. You have to fight for it. If it's important to you, it's important for a reason. End of story, no need for justifying, whining or pondering. This is what I tell myself. It's not about all the drama that usually goes on in my head when I'm thinking about life. It's about, "get your butt up and start moving." So I do.
