I walked 11 1/2 miles last week. Coulda been more, but this whole process is good for me. I am one of those impatient people who wants to see results right away. I want to be able to exercise a lot while keeping up with five children, a husband, and a house that is going through a lot of repair work right now. It's just not possible. My first reaction is to chide myself for not working harder for it, but I realize that's unrealistic! As much as I would like to be SuperGirl, in reality, there is no such thing as SuperGirl. So this exercising thing has been a great exercise in teaching me to CHILL OUT! ;-)
If you think of me during the week, say a huge prayer for me and my wee two year old. We've begun potty training starting this morning. I pulled out the ol' "if you go potty on the toilet, I"ll give you an M&M" trick. He didn't get it at first and immediately asked for the candy. Then when I said he had to make REAL potty on the toilet first, he had a huge meltdown and refused to put his pull-up back on. He's running around behind me right now with nothing on but his jammy shirt.

I will have my post up in a min
I'm not updating this week, Becca, but wanted to let you know I am still at it. I am thankful for this challenge! Do I get an M&M for going potty, too? I am on water pills, lol.
ReplyDeleteOK, I wanted to tell you that your blogging on excercise has motivated me to exercise again. You know that I've been into that before but I had to give it up for a while because it was becoming the center of my world, an idol. So now that I've been on a 6 month sabbatical I feel like God is telling me it's OK to get back into it again...but with a different mind set. I've been walking now for 2 weeks and I actually won a 2 month membership at Private Workout here in Flower Mound so I've been using that too. I tell you I feel so much better! Thank you for the reminder and motivation!
ReplyDeleteOops, that last post was from me I just forgot to type that in. Oh and if you see me walking around town, honk! :-)
