I have been neglecting this blog for no better reason than that I've just been busy with life. Preparing to move to Korea, talking an online TEFL course, and impending minor surgery, job searching, church obligations, life obligations, etc, etc, etc...
But one of the things that makes my life so busy is that I've been working out at the gym for 5 weeks now. Tomorrow (or should I say today since it's after 1am) will begin my 6th week. This is huge for me! No, I haven't lost those 15 pounds yet. More like 5, but I have lost inches, gained some muscle and am doing my heart a huge favor. I have been eating breakfast every morning (huge again for me) and I've been constantly exceeding my exercise goals. And surprisingly, I've been having fun! But most importantly, I'm doing this to honor my God. My focus is right. By my own effort I fail, but God in his mercy lifts me and gives me the strength to stick with this. Many times while I exercise, I put on my favorite songs and worship God. It's phenomenal and most enjoyable!
Now I should head off to bed so that I can get up to exercises tomorrow!
