Physically Phit

I was going to try to come up with all sorts of spiritual reasons, I was going to try to be really smart. But, here’s the real. I am going to start working out and eating healthier. Yesterday, I watched a woman say goodbye to her husband. Yesterday, I realized, I do not want that to happen. I don’t want Andrea to have to endure that. I know I can’t control everything, and Got ultimately will have to decide that but, I do know that I can do everything in my power to avoid that. Step one, healthy diet, step two, exercise.

I know, it sounds tough, but I think I can do it. I don’t really have a “target” weight loss, I just have a target. Lose this fat gut. Look good in medium shirts again, and not get winded walking up stairs. God has given me all sorts of blessings. In a way, I feel like I am taking them for granted. That’s just silly. He has let me live through everything, and I treat my body like a junk(food)yard. It’s just not smart.

So. Starting today, I am eating right. That doesn’t mean diet, it is just a lifestyle change, and I am going to exercise. If it starts as 15 on a treadmill… so be it. I will improve, and in a year, I’ll be a healthy married man.

What is God doing to me!? I’ll blog on that later!
