Faith-
I keep a prayer journal. I haven't been very consistent with it, but it's a concept that I recommend! One of my personal training clients does this, & always talks about how it helps her with prayers & watching how God answers them. So I decided to give it a shot! I know so many people right now that are going through rough times- physically, emotionally, financially- and it's easy to feel like everything is going wrong as you feel like you're spiraling out of control. God is in control, and we have to remember to turn it all over to him.
Today's verse on my app is Romans 8:18:
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
It's tough to struggle. But stay strong, and rely on God. Surround yourself with family & friends, & pray. I have noticed with my prayer journal that God always answers. He answers in His way, and in His time frame! I'm not the most patient person, so it's been good for me to be able to look back and see how things always work out!
Family-
R is coming over tonight! We haven't seen him for over a week, so we're excited! And I'm missing E like crazy- going to the gym and seeing all of her friends while I'm teaching bootcamp's is tough!! Pat has been busy with work, and our garden! I am SOOOO happy that he is good at gardening- it provides lots of veggies for us! The rain we had was much-needed! E's garden section is growing like crazy! She has a cantalope growing- it may be ready before she gets back to Missouri!
Baby cantalope!!
Fitness-
It's been hot! And sticky, and muggy, and just plain old HOT!! I'm so proud of my clients that are keeping up with their workouts! It's hard when the weather isn't perfect- on a 70 degree day it's a lot easier to go for a run then on a muggy 90 degree day (at least it is for me!) Your body will thank you for not slacking off! As long as you are being safe & staying hydrated, you're doing a positive thing for your health!
My personal fitness- I met my goal with the water consumption yesterday! I'm already starting it today- I like measuring it out, at least until I am confident that I'm drinking enough! Paleo is still going pretty well- I've had a few non-paleo foods (bad, bad!!) but overall I'm making smart food choices. I haven't worked out today- I'm still debating if I need a rest day or not. My body says yes (sore knee, burnt foot) but my mind says to quit being a slacker! It's hard to meet my goals if I'm not pushing it - the great mental debate :)
Have a wonderful day, and have a great 4th of July!!
