Hello loves.
I've recently started running as a form of exercise. For the past month I had been going running every morning. Since I went out-of-town and had family to visit here at my home before then, it had been about three weeks since I ran. I knew that my body was out of shape but I refused to give up on my goals so I pressed through my feelings and FINALLY made it to the track today. And my body feels AMAZING. So worth it. I just want to encourage you, just keep running, keep pushing through. You may be going through a dead season where you don't FEEL like it, but don't give up on your goals; your second wind is coming, your strength is coming.
Just GO. There will be tons of things you need to do, tons of thoughts will cross your mind to keep you from exercising and meeting your goals. But you have to just put those things aside and GO. Make it a priority to get your temple into shape. We are vessels that God uses to spread His Word, and if we are unhealthy then it makes it that much more difficult to do what He wishes for us to. Our body is our temple, therefore we must keep it clean and tidy, in every way, inside and out.
The natural types the spiritual. When you feel weary like you can't take another step and you feel like you are completely surrounded by darkness, just keep running, keep pushing through. You cannot go by your FEELINGS, they deceive on a daily basis. Your second wind is coming, your strength is coming. Don't give up, God is right there.
Much love.

I am a living witness that pushing yourself is worth it!! I lost 25 pounds from it last summer and I just now recently gained 6 pounds from my slack but I will be getting back on track Lord's willing soon! Before I slacked, running was like a drug for me! LOL It became something that I LOVED to do especially when there's a light rain outside!
ReplyDeleteYES. I love it! And stay encouraged, you'll lost at least 2x what you gained. I believe in you. xo
