90 x 3 = Maybe This Time...
Well, I started my exercise program again today. I hope to follow the program for 90 days.
This will be my third “official start” since I bought the DVD’s about a year ago.
Each other time I made it about a month before I sputtered and stopped.
The first time I started, I started marathon training at the same time, so after a month, as the runs got longer, I just didn’t have the gas to continue exercising on top of running and working too. The second time I started I was going good for about a month, and then started fall-term classes. The transition from my summer work/workout schedule to fall’s work/school/workout schedule proved greater than my resolve.
So here I go again. I have no real reason to expect a better run this time, but persistence has got to count for something!
Right now I am still working my 40 hour a week job, and am taking more class-hours of school work this term than I ever have before (well, more by one class-hour, but that’s still more)! I just feel like I need to try again. I’m tired of feeling tired, tired of using “being busy” as an excuse for loosing all of last year’s gains.
When, in the future, I am working a busy job, and probably raising children (who are no doubt fated to be as totally exasperating as I was as a child), what excuse will I have then? Am I willing to resign myself to being a flabby, tired, depressed dad? No! My future kids deserve better, my wife deserves more from me, I expect more out of myself!!!
I know that I CAN do this. I just need to get organized, stop making excuses and do it.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, if I can’t persevere now, in the flesh, how can I expect to endure amid deeper trials?
This period in my life may seem tough to me, but it really is a light burden. By living up to this small, easy, and temporal trial, I might prove that I have been faithful with a few things (namely my time, body, mind, and future), and hope that this effort will prove that I will be worthy of being put in charge of many things.
To God be the glory.
