Fit Test 2

Wheehee!

We did the Fit Test again this morning (holy goodness, has it been two weeks already??). It went really, really well! Was just as dead tired and drenched in sweat at the end, but everything was an improvement. Once again, my body kicked into gear and was able to push through the entire workout without getting dizzy or queasy (yay!).

It truly is amazing to me how we're made to adjust SO quickly. After only two weeks, my body has realigned itself so that it can push through these extreme workouts - and push harder than the last time. Psyched!

And now begins the crazy month of June which involves traveling almost every weekend, which will invade on my workout schedule a little bit. Sigh. Thankfully, there will be a lot of physical activity along the way so we won't be completely void of the much needed movement. Hopefully I'll also be able to take advantage of the hotel's weight rooms where I can play around and do stuff. I may even be persuaded to take the 20 minute Insanity routine with me as I travel - just as a backup plan. ;-)

Also, for those of you who do read this and have left me notes, thank you so much for your encouragement. It really does mean a lot and does inspire me to keep pushing harder. Health is important - no matter what stage of it you're at.

I keep realizing that I need to make sure that I'm not making "health" or a strong body an idol in my life, however. It's a daily process to keep it all in perspective and to say that regardless of my physical appearance, I need to use what I've been given to the glory of God. Have I made progress? Most definitely. Did I do it? Heck no. After six years of this battle, I can completely and irrefutably confirm that there is NO way Jose I could be doing this on my own.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song. - Psalm 27:8
