Right after the Ragnar I stopped running for about a month and turned into a crazy person. I think I confused my body. 25 miles a week to ... nada. I was a mess.
There's a lot to be said about taking care of our body. It is the home for our spirit. I have gained a testimony of nourishing body and spirit. Both need constant nourishment or they get sluggish. Add them together and baddabing-- it's amazing! Spirit craves knowledge, scripture, wisdom, light. Body craves health, strength, power to accomplish. The body craves what you give it-- if you eat a bunch of crap- guess what it wants? If you lie around, what happens- you don't want to get up. It's our choice, our will that decides.
So I have a resolution-- not for this year. For life. I don't want to drop the ball again. I don't want to feel sluggish. ever. again. For me- for my family- for my spirit.

Sorry about the rant. Been thinking about this a lot.

I am still in the thinking phase of this plan. Hopefully, one day soon, very soon, I will be sharing your positive and realistic mindset.
But I have never really been known for being overly positive or realistic, so we'll see;)
Yes Alyssa!!! I love having an exercise e-buddy! I learned the same lesson this last summer. I think having three kids and waking up from the blur when the last one reaches a year makes you want to start exercising to return to your pre-existing state, and wow it feels good! It's now top priority, because without it I don't have the energy to keep up with family life. I totally agree...it's so worth it!
You are looking great too, might I add!!
Word of advice...don't get pregnant! SLUGGISH is what I feel on a good day!
If you ever get the desire to Swim come join me!
Amen to that!
