Headaches Come in different forms

Well over the last week or so, I've been fighting off migraines. I've had them all my life, but can count on one had how many I get in a year, but over the last week its been crazy; I've got a Dr's appointment to ask some serious questions. Anyway, I went to work out with Rocky this morning, headache and all and it was painful- the lights, the noise, the motion, but I fought it out and finished, but I think Rocky was being kind because it just didn't seem like he pushed me that hard- or it could have just been that I was so focused on not banging my head on the weights equipment to kill the pain I just wasn't focused on the workout. Needless to say I didn't make it to work, so I'm at home(late afternoon now) resting up for tomorrow-group workout with Rocky. Come what may I'm gonna push hard.

Only 1 more week and even though people are telling me they can see a difference, I don't, might just be paranoia speaking. I know I will continue this once I am eliminated, if eliminated, but the contest, lets face it, is in all our heads. Its hard not to think about it, but I'm trying- really need to focus on just living better for my family and my students - that's what I got into this for.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Mathew 17:20

Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible. - St. Francis of Assisi

The Gym-It's Not just for Exercise

With my new goal to keep my blogs short..er, here goes. Went to the gym yesterday after work. Tuesdays are hard for me to squeeze gym time in because we have church on Tuesday nights so time is tight - but I used Monday (holiday) as my day of rest and didn't want to miss 2 days in a week - oh and by the way Missy, I agree with you 100% , down time is the hardest-God Bless my wife for stocking sugar free jello and tons of fruit!! Anyway(so much for shorter), I squeezed in a workout yesterday and I saw a friend in there and we got to talking about God as we worked out-which is a a work out in itself for me because there is the obligatory gasping for air between "God is great" and "Amen". Now this is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened and as I was thinking about it last night, I had to ask myself "how many people around me and my friends heard us talking about Jesus?" So now I have a new addition to my prayer before going to the gym - "Oh gracious and heavenly Father, please don't let me die on the elliptical, or at least not fall off and whack myself with a rotating pedal, but if I do, give me the opportunity to tell someone about You between gasps of breath and whacks of the pedal....Amen"
