30FOR30

(1)I can't remember exactly what I did I could go look but I know that I exercised everyday. I really don't have to struggle to do the exercise. I think I must be a bit unusual in that I actually like the way I feel when I am lifting weights and my feet are moving and my blood starts pumping and my breathing starts speeding up-it is like I am on a high. So I don't have to struggle to exercise.Plus I have been doing it for about 7 years. I always enjoyed it on some level.




(2)One side of me feels great, I am glad that I have the energy that I have and I really think it is because I speed my heart up when I exercise. I am glad I am able to face life in the middle of our hardships and sorrow I still am able to see the glory of God all around me. (I think I just got off track):)



(3)Honestly I can't see next week being any different-I will exercise-Sometimes I will do more than other days. I love to use a pedometer when I exercise, and I try to get it up to 10,000 steps a day. That is just a personal challenge that I do not meet every day but I still try.



Summary-The purpose of me keeping a blog and having blog mates is because it keeps me accountable. I want to be healthy, and of less importance I want to lose weight. However, the blog does not keep my craving for certain food  down. When I am hungry I eat healthy, when I prepare a meal it is well balanced. Once a month or thereabouts, my craving gets uncontrollable. I really have to fight myself to keep it managable. Sometimes I lose the battle, I insist on winning the war. I will not give up. I just wish that controlling what and how much I eat was as enjoyable as exercising.

Josie I am  really enjoying the thinking that I do when I answer the questions.  I don't think I do very good on keeping the answers on topic, because there is so much I want to say and it seems like all the thoughts are screaming type  me- type me.
 
Today I mowed for almost 95 minutes.  I loved the way I felt in the fresh air, and it was cool and my heart was beating in a good controlled way.   Tomorrow I will either finish my mowing or I will hoe in my garden. 
 
My other garden is doing really good.  The deer is leaving my plants alone since I sprinkled hair down.  Mr. Jack told me in a few weeks to soak some rags in ammonia and put the rags out around and the deer will leave the vegetables alone.   Someone else told me to sprinkle our urine at the end of each row in the garden and that will keep them away.   Sure is some interesting home solutions out there.  I can just hear grandson now pointing to a huge jar of stinky yellow liquid "grandma what in the jar and why does it smell so bad?"
 
BE SILENT
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT GOD TO SPEAK
IN THAT GENTLE AND INWARD VOICE
WHICH MELTS THE SOUL, WHEN YOU ARE
MAKING SO MUCH NOISE?
BE SILENT AND GOD WILL SPEAK AGAIN.
