I guess that’s the question you’re probably asking. I’ve never gone this long without blogging. The answer is a little complicated, yet simple. I’ve taken some time to do some spiritual growth. I’ve been reading and studying the bible and reading “The Purpose Driven® Life
.” A month ago, I had to find my bible buried in my trunk, and I never imagined that now I’d be attending church every Sunday. But beyond that, I’m on the Church’s 51st Anniversary committee as co-chairman with my Big Little Sister. AND…I’m teaching a fitness and nutrition class at the church that starts on Oct. 12th. Can you believe it? I told God, I was ready to work, but I meant at a law firm, but clearly he thought I meant in the church. Lesson Learned: Be Very Specific what you pray for, because you just might get it!…
The only physical activity I’ve done is the last week was my one personal training session with Lyle. I just didn’t have the urge. Last Night, my body felt so stiff and “blah” that I made up my mind that I had go running this morning. It was a beautiful 68 degrees outside, when I went to the park. I put on all my gear (I put on my Nike + Thing in my new shoe pouch
, my new shoes, my waist slimming band
, my Belt
to hold my keys and phone and my iPod
.) However, despite all of my technological preparations, I was only able to run for about 5 minutes before everything started hurting. When you don’t run, you lose it so quickly it almost seems unfair, last week I was running up to 20 minutes! But I guess something is better than nothing. I did a total of about 2 miles. I also finally signed up for the Get Fit 4 Christ 5K that Lyle wants us to run on Oct. 10th. Will I be ready? …I had an okay day, as far as food was concerned.

Stacy, one of the first steps is believing that you can do it. Like I always say, if I did it, ANYONE can. Good luck, and keep me posted. I want to hear all about your 5K when you finish. 🙂
