I have worked out in one form or another every day since i have started this blog. My main source of exercise has been riding the stationary bike in my house. I started at 35 minutes the first day but every day since then i have gone 45 minutes riding the bike. I have been averaging about 11 miles a pop. One day i didnt ride the bike but i walked a couple miles with my brother. Eventually that will be built up to a jog and maybe someday in the future a very quick jog. Today i didnt really want to work out but my friend Justin kept me accountable before i went to his house to play video games...i really didnt feel like working out but after i did i felt great and i thank him for that. I know somedays i want to be lazy but its good to know people are watching my back in this situation.
I havent been pigging out at every meal and ive found if i dont eat a whole lotta junk i still feel full with the smaller portions. SUCCESS! I can survive and afternoon without a snack. A few weeks ago i could down a bag of chips in one sitting every day of the week and not even care. But that has changed. I know i am better than that. It was really hard the other day when i had a Thundercats marathon at my house and my guests brought a few pizza's, several bags of chips, cookies galore, and all the pop in the world to quench my thirst. It was good to have another friend there staring at me everytime i went for food....didnt eat as much cause he was watching me. They left several pops in my fridge that i need to give away cause i know it is way to great a temptation for me. I have cheated a couple of times...i had a orange crush chilled in a glass bottle that i entitled myself to during this marathon. I have been drinkin alot of water lately and i am already starting to feel better from just that.
Ive noticed my spiritual life getting better also....slowly. I am gettin involved in a bible study with my brother, sister-in-law, our churches youth minister matt...and his wiffffeeee...a movie star, the professor and mary anne.......sorry i will get back on track :-) We are gonna be meeting weekly starting next month doing a character study in the book of Nehemiah. I like this approach rather than reading random verses. It will be interesting to look at characters in the bible. My mind has been more pure these past several days than it has in a long time and ive defeated satan and several of his attacks. Feels good....Im having small victories and i know i can win this war!
As i was riding the bike i was thinking about my newborn nephew and my niece....I was watching my sister-in-law holding my nephew and he was standing for a little bit then he would have to sit down....and then i look at my niece skipping around in her princess dresses and it makes me realize that it might take a while for me to stand up on my feet with this process of getting healthy...but it will take baby steps to get there. Eventually i will be running around with all the energy in the world with them kids and its going to be glorious. They are partly my motivation and yes they are the cutest kids in the world. Dont even try to argue.
Here is my niece Elizabeth Faith Brummer.
And this is my nephew Jace Legend.
