I was so conflicted about something today. One of those things happened, that may not be a big deal to anyone else, but it was, or had the potential to be, the straw that broke the camel’s back. All’s I have to say is thank God for the words I heard yesterday at church. If I didn’t hear what was said, if that message didn’t come across to me clearly something very important may have come to an end…ok so maybe I’m being a little dramatic but the thought did cross my mind.
My hand is still swollen but is a bit better. Seems like a banged it up pretty good during batting practice yesterday. We decided I wasn’t holding the bat tight enough. The area between my thumb and index finger is swollen and real tender. It did cause distraction during tonight’s workout; but then again so did the bugs, so I tried real hard to ignore it. The workout was a good one, it was challenging, and it felt great. We will all be experiencing lots of soreness tomorrow. J
One of the biggest problems I have when working out is my head. I let the workout get to me to easily and that causes me to struggle through it. I take rests when I need to, but then I find myself taking a longer rest than I should because I’m telling myself over and over again that I can do it; I’m literally stalling myself, it’s ridiculous. After the workout is over I could kick myself or over resting. I need to stop thinking and just do! My mind is my worst enemy, it always has been. Ok, so I know this, how do I fix it?
It was great to have Brent back and to work out with the girls tonight. I only work out with them once a week and they are my favorite group to work with. I missed last week because I wasn’t feeling well. Brent shared some of his experiences with us from his mission trip. I’m really looking forward to hearing more about it during our Bible Study Wednesday night. There are so many things he taught me and made me think about that has changed the way I live my life. I have been humbled, and I’m finding that is where I feel most comfortable. It’s almost relieving to feel this way. Most of my life has been based on materialistic things, what others think, what they say, and how they feel. Living life like this is sloppy; it’s living for all the wrong reasons. The more I think, the more I pray, and the more I learn from Brent and the other’s I’ve surrounded myself with, the more humble and comfortable I become and, with that, I’m beginning to feel safe.
The water intake was much better today. I did my gallon, got my exercise going back and forth to the bathroom J it’s tough for me to drink all that water but it makes me feel good. The eating has been good to. For my own 31 day challenge I took pork out of my diet, well I put it back in and I am experiencing puffiness and pimples. Another great thing about Paleo is that you can really pinpoint how certain foods affect you. I’m thinking that pork is not my friend as much as I thought it was…oh wellJ
