Well, I did it--or rather God did. B/C I just HATE, DESPISE, REJECT, LOATHE mornings. This morning I was at the gym at 5:20 for a 5:30 Barbell Strength Class. I know I am going to like this-- as showering and getting ready at the gym got me home and ready for time in the Word by 7:02. I set my coffee pot to brew at 6:50---so I had a nice pot waiting for me when I walked in the door.
However---I am hurting already. My friend who is seasoned and trained met me for the class this moring which was great b/c I wasn't nearly as intimidated. My schedule will be Wed/Fri Barbell Class and Tuesday/Thursday Cycling Class w/Saturday doing random work no class and Sunday/Mondays off.
This is a goal. Not a be all end all for me. The more of a habit I make it...the easier it will be (I hope) but 5 a.m. was REALLY early today. To incorporate excercise into my day...it almost has to be that time. Oh..I just realized---you may not know-we are trying a Lifetime Fitness membership to see if this is something that will work. The kids have been loving swimming and rock climbing. Anway--off for quiet time. Pray that I can do this if you think about it. I didn't get to bed until 12:30 last night (or rather this morning) so--that has to change b/c I KNOW I need more than 4.5 hours of sleep each night!
Have a great day!

Bless you for your willingness and for getting up and putting your best foot forward. Thank you, JESUS for making it possible!
I'm cheering for you!
Thanks Gretchen! Im excited--and trying not to live in fear that I won't be able to persrvere for the long haul! I sure WANT to and have the desire to! Keep cheering and pushing me on! I need it!
Hugs to you, friend!
Karen
p.s. Someday we HAVE to meet and I want you to meet my kiddos! How far are you from the Christian Science Museum? I want to come down to it--haven't checked into hotels or anything...but if you are close enough....maybe, just maybe we could finally meet!?
Karen,
We are a little over an hour away from the Creation Museum. That would be lovely. You would be welcome to stay with us -- or rather I could get you a cheap room to stay in on campus (they have a super nice hotel). I'd be happy to hang out with you and your brood and show you around Louisville. Do you know Ellie and Evan McIntosh? They go to my church.
Have you been making it through the week? I've found some days are better than others, and I'm just letting myself enjoy the grace for that.
Talk to you soon!
Just wondering -- have you looked into the book "Pink and Say"? SO GOOD!
No, I have to order that book from the library. I will this week!
Staying on campus cheap would be good! Evan and Ellie are our teaching pastors kids. Ellie used to babysit our kids the first couple years we lived in Michigan! Ellie is a doll--we love her very much. Evan was already away at the Masters College when we moved to MI--so we don't know him very well.
Well, I will have to plan my trip to Louisville then! I didn't know the school had a "cheap" hotel. What is "cheap" I prefer thrifty, ha ha, and that is how we choose to live so...I like that word! 1 hour is close! Yeah, Im so excited!
