Improving in fitness

Its been a long battle getting this area of my life back on the track it used to be on. As most of you read from other blogs I got side tracked there for a couple of years and let a lot slip away. These past 6 months have been a real up and down battle in discipline for both exercise and eating.

My eating habits are improving in a huge way over the last couple of months. Now over the last 2 weeks I've been really disciplined. After hearing Mark and Jenn Paul speak a month ago about this subject it reminded me how important this area is! My weight is finally going in the right direction as well :)

Running is still off and on for me. Would love to be consistent once again. I still have that fear when I'm out there I'm going to somehow find another hole to step in or a loose stone that i'll roll my ankle on. But the good news I am out there doing it. Now the gym is amazing right now. My workouts are back the way it used to be a few short years ago. Seeing a lot of changes in my body. I'm back to having a solid figure and I'm loving it!

A lot of people are asking me what events I'm training for and my answer is nothing. I'm just enjoying this for now. I am looking at VA half marathon though and probably the Crim. Also I'm doing the Holland century bike ride in 3 weeks, which reminds me I should probably get the dust off my bike! I keep thinking about a few different events but right now God has me working in other areas and racing will have to take a backseat to His current plans for me :)

However I would love to encourage you to take this part of your life more serious. We seem to come up with waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many excuses as to why we can't. If you need workout time, take your scheduled TV time and put workouts in that time slot instead :) You won't regret it. When your body is operating and fuctioning properly because you have fed it well and worked out other areas in your life will greatly improve.

Get in shape and God bless :)
