Today, was a good day. I ate a healthy lunch (miss on taste factor), good fruity snack, nap, then great (HIT) dinner..so awesome. My workout today was good. I was a little anxious and worried, but I had to tell myself, "no, let's do this!" Weird treadmill turned me over to the elliptical. Kick my TUSH! and hard! I only did 15 minutes, but it just kicked me. I like it. I liked it ALOT! It was hard, a battle, sweat dripping off my nose. I haven't felt this kind of intensity in over a year. My brother would be proud. I was imagining him standing beside me and the machine, cheering me on with his big grin on his face full of joy, pride, and support. Every time I tried to stop, I had to reject it. All of my co-workers were cheering me on and saying how proud they were of my efforts. All eyes were on me, but my eyes were on God; helping me push through my mind thinking that pain is forever. NO! Pain is temporary and in the end well worth! I got down of the machine, with wiggly legs, with the biggest feeling of accomplishment. I enjoyed that feeling. I want that feeling again. God is Good! If that wasn't a good ending to a day, then I have a better one. After the awesome R.are women's meeting in the cafe, I met up with some of the most awesome people I have ever met in my life to spike it up in some volleyball in the sand. The best friends a girl could ever want. After THREE AND A HALF hours of playing..with maybe a five minute break, I was sweaty,tired, and "sandy". Once again the feeling of accomplishment hit me on the way home. Today, I learned that in the mist of sweat, tears, and even sand all over you, the blissfulness knowing that you have pushed yourself beyond what you could normally do is a blessing in itself. Blessings.
