Exercise Dilemna


Exercising is one of my least favorite activities. It ranks with cleaning up after a sick child, cleaning up after a sick dog and doing laundry. Don't get me wrong, I know how important it is and I know how great I feel after engaging in a great cardio session, yet I hate it. The thoughts of getting out there, on a walk or to the gym, is mental havoc. I want to, but I can't get my feet moving. I usually go and get a fitness magazine and maybe a new workout outfit, but that's as far as it goes.
Exciting news! I am really excited! I have exercised for two full days. I have so much energy and I haven't felt this good in a while. Now don't get too excited because I don't tend to stick to any kind of exercise for very long...therefore the topic of my blog...to have my friends and family read it and keep me accountable by asking, asking and more asking, "did you exercise today?" I may give you a guilty look or sometimes I may out right lie, but please keep at me. I am 45 and I need to look fit by 50. I can do this.
Which brings me the spiritual aspect of all of this. Our bodies are temples of the Lord. I believe this with all of my heart. I don't want to just look good, but I want to be around for my kids, grandkids, and my sweet husband. I want to really run the race well and honor the Lord not only physically but in all aspects. He sacrificed His all for me.
In conclusion, thanks for letting me share this struggle. It seems trivial, but it is real to me and might be my thorn in the flesh. Thanks for listening and remember if you see me out don't forget to ask me the question.
