Me and two of my girlfriends are doing a 12 week work out program. Currently we are on week #3. I am also trying to eat healthy....trying being the key word. The first week was the worst part of working out. Part of our program is 5 minutes of walking lunges and 7 minutes of abs. Now you may not think that 5 min. is long, but try walking lunges for that amount of time. You will quickly come to realize that 5 min. can seem like an eternity!! Needless to say that after the first workout we could hardly walk! The abuse we had done to our bodies was criminal, at least it felt like it. Now that I have started to get used to it, its not so bad. The hard part is eating healthy. Its so hard for me to deprive myself of a piece of pie, or some warm homemade cookies, or a brownie...can you tell sweets are my weekness? I feel like I actually need to eat it. Its almost like a drug. As a christian we are supposed to be filled with the fruits of the spirit. Well these consist of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. For me the hardest one to manage is self control...although patience is a close second. Having two small boys makes me really have to practice my patience...but that's another blog. Anyways, back to self control. I don't want to tell myself that I can't eat that cookie or that I have to workout. I am trying to practice self control and make myself. I really want to be a much healthier person, not only for me but for my family. I want to be a good example to my kids so that they will learn to be healthy and strong.
Anyways this is a real struggle for me and the battle wages on. Who will win....me being back in a size 9 jeans or the yummy chocolate chip cookies...only time will tell.
