Ok, so after I did "the Shred" last night, I just started aching. :( I knew I would shortly after I blogged 'cuz that dreaded pain usually comes 24 hours after the work out. But, none the less, I headed off to the gym this morning and jammed for 45 minutes on the treadmill. Kept a pretty steady pace and played around with the incline.
So, now it's time for my "Shred" date for tonight and I just don't know how I am going to do it. Don't get me wrong, its not that I don't want to do it, I just HURT! My baby sister encouraged me to look at my self naked in the mirror and look at a picture of myself at my skinniest. The thought of myself naked is scary enough, but her humor is just what I need - I think.
Anyway, despite the pain, I am going to Shred now. If I don't leave another post after this one, you'll know I died doing it! (Ok, we both now that isn't going to happen!) So, as Paul urges in Philippians 2:14 - Do everything without complaining or arguing... Off I go - fake smile on my face and all.

"Learning to be content is an education process, as is all learning... It would start with acceptance of present reality and hopefully move toward genuine contentment." - Luci Swindoll
Life can be so hard, frustrating, and so daily! Women face disappointments, disarray, downfalls, delays, drawbacks, and doldrums. It's unavoidable. But that's life! The trick is to face life's twists and turn with grace.
It doesn't come naturally, and isn't learned quickly. But it can be learned!
This blog is a raw look inside my heart and mind as I attempt to allow God to cultivate a heart of contentment in me. I will be using it as a journal of my life process. You will likely read here about the good, the bad, and ugly - but my goal is to make it the genuine me.
This particular blog is all about me. While I am basically letting you into my most personal thoughts, I hope that you will take interest in this in a productive way... perhaps you will be motivated to pray for me, challenged to encourage me, or maybe even inspired to reflect or take action in your own life. While you may read something here that you find "ugly," I respectfully ask that you refrain from leaving hurtful comments. Again, this is a raw look at my journey - I prefer not to be criticized in this arena.
