Fit Friday: January 31

FINALLY some movement on that scale. Down 1.7 for the week.  But, wow, I have been s-t-u-c-k forever in this decade. What a pain.

This week I feel like I've been derailed a bit.  We did a lot of unexpected running and activities that left me not quite sure how to get in the rest of life.  It also left me feeling the effects of winter where the walls are closing in and you would rather just not face it. 

Exercise was the first thing to go. Sad.  And, I'm betting the farm that that's the biggest reason I lost my motivation and interest in keeping up with life.  I stopped working on my goals, stopped meeting them, and stopped enjoying the benefits. 

Lord, I'm grateful you continue to work even when I give up.  There has been much my mind and heart has had to wrestle through this week and I guess I figured that warranted a rest for my body. Yet, you continued to work at healing and cleansing me physically while you were at work in my mind and soul.  They cannot be separated. You continue to show that to me. 

Thank you for the renewed focus and desire to press on.  I've made it past that middle hump in this decade and finally feel some hope to climb into the next.  There is just something about being in the middle that leaves me feeling slumpish.

Here's to a great weekend.  A weekend filled with those things that bring you glory, bring us health, bring joy, reveal your mercies, and reflect your goodness in our lives.  It's a beautiful truth for me to think on today that if I simply enjoy the goodness of what you have created for me to enjoy, my body will continue to change and grow as you created it to do.  Even this strange bug that seems to be going through our family with sneezes, headaches, and sniffles cannot take hold in a way that it would before. Thank you, Lord!
