Hello World,
I have had some great workouts this week so far. Yesterday, I had a great 5.5 mile run in my neighborhood. It is definitely related to this new garmin watch. I have the 350, not the 450. I plan on purchasing that one later, maybe after I complete my first 26.2 miler. With this watch, I love being able to see my mileage and pace as I run. It is great. I have been getting up at my regular 4:30 am time, I put on my reflective vest and hit the streets. By the end of my run, the sun is up. The only thing about the street versus the gym is I don't get to read my scriptures. When I am at the gym, I put my scriptures on the treadmil or the eliptical machine. Even when I lift weights, I put my scriptures on the weight rack. So, I guess, I will have to make sure that they get read during my administration time at work. Yes, I have established a time to be at work. 7:30 am...PERIOD. I need this time to prepare for the day and just to get myself together. I am going to add devotion time into this hour. This does mean that Lil Fred will have to go to school a little early, but he will be fine.
I gave myself the day off today. I didn't run or lift weights. I just wanted to sleep in. So that's what I did. Tomorrow, 5.5 is the goal. Hopefully 6 miles. I only have an hour to complete my run before I have to prepare for work. So I am going to work on my speed so that I can accomplish more mileage in my hour.
Tonight, I am listing all of the good that has happened over the last 12 months (personal as well as business). I am needing to see the good. I get down at times and focus on the negative and how far I still have to go instead of looking at where I am now and how far I have come. I know that I am looking on the outside, but it sure seems like God makes things very easy for some people. I don't seem to be one of them. I have to work and work hard for everything that I have ever had. This gets frustrating at time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have more experience and character than a lot of those that get things the easy way.
I am starting a study of the book of Phillipians. Chapter 3 is awesome. Paul is talking about not looking behind but pressing forward to things ahead. I am also still reading the How successful people think book and it also talks about looking at the big picture..looking ahead and not behind. This is my challenge for the next couple of weeks. I am going to practice on seeing the big picture. I have created mental pictures of myself at my goal weight and I have mental pictures of my business in 5 years. The challenge is remembering to pull these images when the day gets long and hard. But I am a success and I thank God for each of my successes. Okay...night, night. I am off to read Phillipians...World, you should read it too.
