It is interesting having two personal trainers. Alex has a great knowledge base and is a Super Saiyan encourager but my Father truly knows how to engage my heart and keep me going. Pretty sure alex has prayer in his arsenal of training tools too because I certainly feel them (along with the prayers of so many others). Right now I’m in baby boot camp. Apparently I got a date at Home Depot with my older daughter hehe how cool is that? (She gonna need yer prayers, I’m worse than a kid in the store 😁) In the midst of the ‘busy’ and the trials that life tosses at us deliberate fitness is hard, but I’m lifting @Elise Purcell @Coach Alex VanHouten @Coach Jess @Better Daily fam as my examples of a functional active fitness and a persistent plan of attack that has no quit in them ♥️ hope that made sense, pain has my brain scrambled, but I’m smiling through it. Haven’t broken any bones this week and my toe is healing nicely woot! My favorite thought today besides my thoughts of y’all is this: being on your feet and getting steps is good.... yer moving ya old bag and that’s more than ya been doing, but..... moving without focus is just aimless wandering, walking these hills is accomplishing way more than just moving. The pain is different when I’m engaging the muscles and actively focusing on them. My steps need to remain purposeful, and engaged. I need to remain focused even outside of my daily walks. My rest days... I got my 5k steps, or nearly so but it felt different. I feel stronger, even as all my blood work slides downhill lol but on rest days I miss my Fathers company, I miss the active muscle engagement, I miss the ‘suck’ I choose, I also miss the moments in my walks when heaven walks with me. Maybe that’s the sweet thing God was pressing on my heart when He was pressing the lessons of kairos, chronos, and aion. He often has multiple reasons for those lessons, but I’m listening and waiting to see what He has for me ♥️ Somebody thinks I’m made of sterner stuff than I know, and this week he’s been right 😉 But it’s getting colder and life is pulling at me.... even if I don’t manage impressive numbers I still plan to get out there. Don’t want to lose the things I’ve gained but I’m hoping winter is just a flirtatious wink this year lol Maybe when I thaw out I will find I truly was made of sterner stuff than I knew but long underwear with a drop drawer seat might be a grand Christmas gift 😜
