| A body in motion... |
Stays in motion, right?
Well this body has been idle for far to long.
Have you ever seen a train "take off".
It strains and shutters under it's own berth quite awkwardly.
But once it's barreling down the line there is no stopping it.
 |
| No Excuses!!! |
Well, frankly, I feel more like the train just taking off.
I pour my heart into 1 or 2 days than have the day of rest only to find it twice as hard to pick up where I left off. I keep telling myself, don't focus on the change you see on the outside, focus on how good you feel about yourself for doing what is best and good and right to take care of your body. That helps a little, so does reading motivational quotes on Pintrest. What helps most is just asking God to give me the strength and endurance I don't have on my own.

| Let's Dance, But Not Dirty |
It truly amazes me the way God provides. What I hate more than a daunting workout is straight up cardio.
I abhor running, I all but fall asleep in cycle, I have not a single competitive bone in my body.
So I said a simple prayer.
"God, help me find a way"
Do you know, the next day I was sharing my struggle with my husband and my son, overhearing our discussion, interjects with, "Dancing is good cardio mom, we should have a dance party every week."
Huh
Now, I most certainly would not shake it in a zumba class, I have the coordination of a bat with no radar.
But for my son, I would do just about anything.
For two week's now he has been my DJ and dance partner for no less then 30 minutes.
Prayer Answered
Time to get back into motion.

I generally plan on Wed when I have 30 minutes before mass chaos begins.
I shop on Fri so our family menus (posted on the fridge) run from Fri to Thur.
How do I keep it all straight without pulling my hair out? I use Pepperplate.
This site/App keeps all my recipes, super easy to upload from other sites,
my shopping list which automatically uploads, my weekly/monthly planner,
AAAND (with best infomercial voice I can muster) So Much More!
(Nope I didn't get paid to say that either.)

Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.
