Sometimes Accountability is Embarrassing...

So this 365 day project thing has been very fun so far. I thought I should write an actual post today instead of just having pictures all the time. So... ah this is embarrassing... well since the New Year started I have really been trying to be healthier in food choices as well as in exercising regularly. This is NOT an effort to be rail thin but really just about being a good steward. God has given my a life and a physical body and I want to honor him by the way I treat it. So for the past I think like 3 weeks now I have been on the treadmill running and walking at least 3 times a week sometimes more if I've had the time as well as doing some different strength training things. So today I decided to see if I could run for a whole mile. This was a pretty lofty goal, I am pretty out of shape and I don't think I've run a whole mile since like 10th grade. So the good news is....I DID IT! I ran for a whole mile! I was so excited and it was a great sense of accomplishment. The embarrassing and kind of hilarious part of it is... it took me TWELVE MINUTES AND THIRTY SECONDS...lol. That's ridiculous. haha. So I'm posting this publicly to hold myself accountable. I'm going to be working hard to get this time down and weekly giving an updated time that will hopefully be lower than the whopping 12:30.

So any-hoo check out 1 Corinthians 6:19-20- Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.


School starts tomorrow so I am headed to bed but I hope you all had a fantastic Monday and I will catch you later!
