Day 16 (Benefits)

So like I was saying before I have to lay off the RushFit schedule because it is causing some problems with my knees.  I still plan on doing it but just not as often.  Today I did weights, but just basic stuff.  I did a lot of push-ups and did some exercises with 40lbs dumbbells to work the arms and shoulders.  Still broke a sweat and got my heart rate up which is great.

I did notice today that I am actually seeing some benefits too.  I am starting to see some definition coming back to my body which I was pretty happy about.  I even flexed a little bit in the mirror LOL.

On another topic I also read something I wrote 3 years ago about my relationship and understanding of God.  It was a little disappointing because I realized I was going in the right direction before but at some point turned off the path.  My path before was focused on love, and doing all things in the purpose of love and a higher calling.  I have left that path and started to just chase stuff.  Material things started being the bigger picture.  I am glad I read it, and right now it is a reminder that again I am back on the right path.  Though the thought pops in my head that I could have been much further if I had not strayed.  That is life though, and things happen for a reason.  I am stronger, more focused, and know more of who I am now than I ever did three years ago.  I knew what I needed to do three years ago, but now I understand why and learning how.

It is all a blessing, the good, the bad, the struggle.  Martin Luther King Jr. would not be who he was without all the struggle that he went through.  Pain exposes soft spots, some call it weakness, I call it an opportunity to grow and be more.
