Workin Out
So Dawn and I got memberships at Gold's Gym a few weeks ago. It's pretty funny when I think about it cuz we're such inactive people. But that's why we needed to. My goal was to get from 194lbs to 179 lbs before we leave for Mexico on Sunday. I weighed in today at 181. 2 lbs left and 5 days. Pretty sure I can do this. After our vacation my goal is to get to 170 and stay there.I am really noticing a difference in how I feel throughout the day. I have more energy and I'm way more focused. I'm getting more done. I used to think that I was too busy to work out, but I'm getting way more done. Plus, as I'm on the elliptical I've been reading and just finished my second book this month while I jog.
I know I did a massive diet change 5 years ago and lost tons of weight, which was good, but not really healthy. This time I'm losing it at a much safer rate and I'm exercising with it so I don't just lose muscle along with the fatty boom batty only to slow my metabolism and gain it all back.
I'm also now convinced that health is holistic. Body, mind, spirit. I mean, I kinda knew that to be true but never did anything about it. Someday when I'm in charge (of what I don't know, but someday it will happen) I will definately preach taking care of your body.
Christians often talk about being the temple of the Holy Spirit. I've heard so many people condemn smoking and drinking because of that, yet they don't take care of their body either. Hypocritical.
Anyway, go work that temple. God thanks you for it.

True about the temple thing and the people not working on it thing. I don't think that when people say they like their out of shape bodies...they are actually telling the truth. I think everyone does better in life when they feel better about themselves...working out included. It may sound silly...but that is why I try and always do my girl's hair. I want them to feel important and put together! Too much...who knows, but at least they won't grow dreds!!
P.s. good work getting your blog on again. I thought you had vanished.
Ironic that this post comes after a post about visiting a new Subway...
You need a good sit down with my wife :P
Grube, Subway can be pretty healthy for you. Way better than I would have eaten before.
