This weekend was Belmont Abbey's homecoming which was very fun and exciting. We saw a lot of old friends and their new babies. Needless to say I never got around to writing my Friday post I promised.
I have been juggling opposing ideas in my head this past week in regards to my health and fitness journey. I suppose I am a little disheartened and I am not quite sure why, exactly. I am about 9 days away from completing my first 30 day fitness challenge and I am proud of myself. I have been sticking to my workouts and they have been challenging me. I feel good! But this weekend I didn't strive to eat healthy and allowed myself several "cheats." I knew I had to be okay with cheating if I was going to allow myself and I feel ready on this beautiful Monday to pick up where I left off. However, those little thoughts creep into my head asking me if I will be strong enough to continue. Will I keep working out after I complete the wonderfully structured 30 day challenge is complete? Will I just do the challenge over and over again even when I need to move on to a more difficult challenge? Will I be consistently motivated to cook healthy meals for me and my family every day? These challenges are hard and I am afraid of failure. I want to be healthy and fit and truly balanced. I think what is missing is my prayer life. I feel anxious about many things. "Martha, Martha, you are anxious about many things...And Mary has chosen the greater part." Ah-ha. I cannot keep this journey to myself or do it alone. I need to keep Christ at the center of this journey. I need to keep considering His will as I try to answer the questions I have and as I try to conquer my challenges. Just like motivating myself to prepare healthy meals and exercise daily I struggle to pray with purpose every day. This is something I need to add to my fitness and health journey.
