Excuses

It's cold outside. My throat is slightly sore. I'm tired. I need to go grocery shopping. My foot, leg, shoulder, hand is sore. I have a headache. I don't have anything clean to wear. I don't have time for that today. I have an appointment. I pulled a muscle. I didn't sleep at all last night. I need to organize the playroom, kitchen, living room. I need to finish a project. I just don't want to go.

There's so many reasons I can talk myself out of going to the gym.  Unfortunately, excuses don't burn calories.

Beat My Body

After working out today I was thinking I really need a shirt that says, "I beat my body and make it my slave" (1 Cor 9:27). I tell you, more then once I wanted to give up. I wish I would have remembered that verse while on the Elliptical. I HAVE to have something to distract me or not only does time stand still, but my patients gives out. Yesterday was one of those days; I finally left after 45 minutes rather then an hour. Today I did my full hour.

This may have been counter productive, but after leaving the gym, stopping by the house and getting a shower, Kaitlyn Joy and I went to Chick-fil-a. I ordered their Caesar Wrap combo with fruit and it was really good. It's pricey, but I would recommend it.
