***15 minutes on the Rowing Machine, 15 minutes Ellyptical (5 minutes forward, 5 minutes backward, 5 minutes forward), 15 minute run on Treadmill*** Day 30: I am grateful for making it this far in my challenge to myself. No sugar, no alcohol, exercise at least 5 times per week, and a daily thank you. Almost one third of the way and the body and mind are feeling better, getting used to the regimen...and now actually enjoying it, seeing it less as a regimen and more as a life style choice for myself. It comes at a time when my 15 year old is making some questionable choices in the name of "happiness and fun". It makes me really reflect on what we try to do to be happy. So often our human impulse is to escape when, in fact, living life and embracing the ups and downs brings more happiness than any "escape". The irony is that it takes most of us a lifetime of searching and falling on our faces to find out something so simple. I wonder if God just forgot to leave the User's Guide for us, or if this was always his plan. I sometimes imagine he is looking down and laughing so hard at us doing the same stupid things over and over. I sure hope there is more after life. I would hate to think we learn all these hard lessons for naught....and if that's the case...ice cream, please!
