Focus...
I'm not gonna lie. I need an accountability partner or team! I went into a dressing room this afternoon and wondered... How did that happen? I know, really. I shouldn't have been surprised! I haven't been treating my body like it is a temple of the Holy Spirit! I have used desserts for the wrong reason. It's time to get focused! I have never had a real problem with my weight, but I've noticed my jeans appear to have shrunk...(not!)... and are a bit uncomfortable!
One of my favorite authors said this recently, "All excess is rooted in emptiness." I need to be satisfied by God, not desserts! I need to get up early in the morning to get my workout and my quiet time in before I leave at 7:00am! That is going to be difficult especially as it is dark and our weather is about to get nasty! So... I thought if I get this in writing I will be motivated to stick to it! I need to get downstairs in the morning and get on my Elliptical machine for 30 minutes!
Do you see the song on the top of my entry? It is a song that motivates me and I probably shouldn't admit this, but I'd have it playing when my kids were in high school on their way to swim meets and other sporting events! We love that song! I also thought it would be a great one to be played at my funeral! I know, I'm weird!
Thanks so much for being my accountability partner! Feel free to ask me anytime how I am doing with it! :)

Ok, so i have been working on the running thing and last week i did 30 minutes straight. But I haven't been back to the gym because of our trip to NYC then recovering from the trip...so, here I am asking you to be my accountability partner, because I REALLY want to run the Turkey Trot with you at Thanksgiving! I think I can do it! So what do you think???? Let me know!

Oh how I understand this post. When I started real estate school a few years ago, between class time, a full work schedule etc... fast food became a staple and I gained some pounds and got out of shape. I had always been an athlete (as a young girl up into college I was a gymnast) and worked out as an adult. Some friends of ours introduced my husband and I to a new workout passion - cycling. My husband and I purchased some hybrid mountain bikes and after a few months of riding found out how much we enjoyed it, and then realized we wanted to ride faster and harder, so we graduated to road bikes. Fortunately he is my accountability partner and we ride w/ a group at least 3 times a week. I lost 13 pounds the first year and got back down to my fighting weight! hee hee - I will pray for you as you begin a workout program. I know it's difficult. I never understood how it can take so long to make a habit and such a short time to break a habit. With God ALL things are possible. Make your workouts a priority - He wants you to take care of that temple His spirit is housed in!
God Bless You!

First of all I think you look great and I admire you for getting focused and I loved the quote, "All excess is rooted in emptiness". I pray that you have the time for your workouts and quiet time and that God will give you an abundance of energy!!
Love the song. :o)
Annie...you look great, always have, but I totally understand wanting/needing to get in better shape.
I'm with Kristen and the biking, you would be very proud of your brother. We love biking now! Maybe you and Lincoln should try it. Evening workouts are a lot better....cuz 5a.m. is WAY to early.
You go girl!! I will so keep you accountable if I could manage to keep myself accountable!! Why is it so hard?! Its just plain hard sometimes.....
I'm proud of you. I won't ask how you are doing because I might feel guilty because I won't be doing!
And...I'm going to San Antonio! Finally told Kim that I would go. Already doing the Louisville thing in early August and just felt weird about doing both. But, I'm dying to see all these amazing girls...we may not want to leave.
Focus, focus, focus. Let us know how its going. I'm so proud of you....maybe i'll be inspired now.
Blessings...
I'm with you Angie! I just began my walking one mile again this evening after supper. Chris leaves at 6 in the morning, and as you said it's dark. I function better in the dark in the evening than the morning. So I will ask you how you are doing...and you may ask me. My goal is just to begin working on the next three pregnancy weights...I have lost all my Sydney weight. Yay! One down, three to go :)
Blessings on you Sister!
Love,
Holly
Good for you for putting it into writing! I love the elliptical. I don't use it nearly enough, but I love it! I hope you give updates from time to time. :-)
Oh... I am so there with you. I need some serious accountability when it comes to my eating. I don't have the problem working out at the moment, I am a bit addicted to the gym, but the eating thing....WOO- I hear ya there!! Love ya sweet siesta!
Ang,
Girl I'm totally with you. I too have not stuggled with my weight but things are flabbier and it is totally my fault. I think b/c I do not have to try I have become lazy.
I just need to exercise b/c I feel so much better when I do.
Ok now you have me motivated!
Much love,
Kim
You go girl! I'm feeling the same way. Love the song! It just makes you want to exercise, doesn't it?
Hugs!
Kat
you crack me up!
Hi,
I'm visiting you from Annie's blog. I hear ya and I'm working on the same goal--being a better steward of the body I have.
Blessings in Christ--
