Changes

I was raring to go the other day, got off on a good start and then - WHAM! - struck down by a UTI. It seems like every time I really get going, I get sick. BUT, I have kept up with my workouts, so at least I'm still on track. Tired, but on track.

I finally went to the doctor and got meds, too, so I don't feel near as bad as I did, and we caught it before it became a kidney infection, so there's that. The only thing I'm behind on are my book club readings, and my daily Bible reading - I'm almost a full book behind in that area. I'm hoping to remedy the book club readings over my lunch today, and the Bible readings throughout the evenings the rest of the week. I'm stuck in Numbers right now, and finding it hard to get through.

Anyway, this blog is about working out, not reading. On Sunday, while waiting for dad and his friends to finish up working on a friend's Jeep in the garage, I asked Zach to help me with my sit ups by holding my feet down. We made it fun by kissing each other on each rep up, so it made the 30 sit ups not feel like such a chore. I even did push ups in the same manner, just for fun. I also found a motivation photo and put it on my phone. There is nothing more motivational, though, then hitting your goals, and I did just that when I tried on the dress I'll be wearing this weekend for a wedding we're going to.

We are going to Mississippi this weekend for Zach's cousin's wedding, and I'm hoping the hotel has a gym in it so we can work out a little while we're there. I love spending time with his family, but we do a lot of eating and drinking when we're together, so I always feel like I took an off weekend when we meet up. It's a 9 hour drive from where we live down there, too, so walking would definitely help work out the kinks from sitting all that time.

So, some changes I'm making in my own life are these:
I would like to be closer to Christ, and I've been trying for a while to be a more positive person, as no one likes being around negativity all the time. That gets boring, quick. I have made it my goal to put up one positive post a day, as well as one blog post chronicling my workout journey, and one faith post. Otherwise, I'm hoping to stay off of Facebook. I'd like to read more, crochet more, and just do more of what I enjoy. In doing so, I have to get off of the social media. Today's positive post is up, this is today's blog post, and after lunch I'll post the faith post. Happy Tuesday!
