Boot Camp Begins

Okay here it is....No New Years Resolutions here......but...I am making a few new changes and am letting the world know about it...

As I will be 40 in a few weeks, I have realized that working out is more about me being healthy for my family than anything else. Sure, I wanna look good too, but inthe past, it was all about vanity now it is more about being healthy. Too many people in my circle of friends have been ill...some even died. One of my good friends, just had a major brain surgery 10 weeks ago. She is now teaching her fitness classes again, driving and life is going on as usual for her. She was so very physically and spiritually healthy and fit before the surgery and I know
it has made her recovery much quicker. It has been amazing to watch.

So I have decided that it is time for me to get not only physically healthy, but spiritually healthier. This last year, I have been soooo burned out on going to the gym. I have been discouraged because my son is now 8 and I haven't lost all that baby weight from him and finally just shut down. I have not been motivated at all to work out and when I have worked out, I have gone it alone. So here is my plan....You can hold me accountable...

I have joined a boot camp....and sister don't do group fitness. Anyone who knows me knows I go it alone. I can't do group fitness for two reasons. I don't like to look at myself in the mirror when I work out, and I get easily intimidated by the women in there. So I am taking a leap. I joined a boot camp for the next 6 months.....WOW....Bathing suit season Look out. Tomorrow, I go early for weight and measurements...not gonna be fun. Reality check!

I am also planning on an intense spiritual boot camp. I am in a Bible Study, I get up early in the morning already (sister don't do mornings either!) and have my quiet time with God in prayer and in the word....but, I just got this new Bible that teaches you how to study it more in depth. It is the Inductive Study Bible. I spent over one hour this week trying out this new way to study and it was only on John 15! Intense. How am I gonna find the time? I am gonna make it happen daily. It is my priority. Now, it may take me 3 to 4 years to go through the entire Bible...maybe longer!

But I will do it! So there it is girls....Out there for the world to see...now I am accountable....What are you gonna make happen this year? I would love to hear your feedback...

Blessings,
