It is crazy for me to say that this has been an incredible week for me so far?! I feel like it is a rare thing for me when I have a week that has been so difficult in multiple areas but so rewarding and growing at the same time. God is so good to bless with me with people around me who are able to look beyond my sin that I have committed against them, to see Jesus, who already died for my sin. What a beautiful thing some relationships can be! I am feeling so blessed this week. =)
Also, I have worked out 3 times this week so far. Little accomplishments friends, little accomplishments! Tonight was insanely tough! It was at least 2 hours of working out and then literally ended with an hour on the ellyptical. Like feet numbing, sweaty, exhausted goodness. And when I say goodness I mean after the timer hit "60:00" and I got to get off the machine. I will feel it tomorrow and am excited to feel sore. Sure, I will most likely complain here and there about not being able to get up out of bed without feeling like I want to die, but I know that that kind of workout regime is what I need to do to seek the results I'm hoping for. Less than 6 months til one of my best friends weddings and I have so far to go. But I am hopeful. This is just the beginning and it will get easier.
We watched the Biggest Loser last night after community group and I always love watching that show. It is always so inspiring and motivating to me. I have always said I would love to be on that show and know that I would kick some major butt at the competitions. Most of the people on there are not competitive at all and it is maddening!! It is a game people!! They were chosen out of thousands of people for an incredible opportunity to change their life and they complain a freaking lot! That being said, I was able to get some perspective on my own working out and complaining. I was just reminded that I shouldn't complain about the pain and how hard I think my workouts are. Because they usually aren't. At least when I work out on my own. There just really isn't a good reason for me too. Pain is good and challenge is what I need. Tonight however, was great! Having people to work out with is great! Great, great, great! Also, since everyone I live with thrives on competition and whether or not we'd all admit it, and I can't totally speak for them, I know that for me, there is always some way I secretly compete against everyone. All in good fun though. Most of the time =)
Looking forward to the rest of the week and what it will bring! And yes this includes the Broncos vs. Patriots game on Saturday. Go Broncos!!
Here's to the times we are able to fight through and not complain!
