Working Out

I snapped this picture yesterday when I was working out at the gym. Specifically working out the hamstrings...need to strengthen them.  It was Saturday afternoon and no one was in the gym(the gym attendant not included, lol).  It was so weird.  I guess everyone was making the most of their Saturday.  I had already been at a swim meet in the morning and out for lunch with my mom...so my day had already been very full.  Since I had some free time I headed over there with Bryn and we worked out for an hour.  I rode the bike for 5.57 miles...my fastest time yet and then I worked the machines.  It sure felt good.
But the reality is that working out has become such a normal part of my life. I average 5x a week...and most of those days I workout 2x.  I love it and I think I have become mildly addicted.  I guess I like the way it feels.  And of course I love the results.  My body responds very well to it...obviously.  I am in the best shape that I have been in my whole life...and the smallest since 10th grade in high school.
One negative is that I had an injury with my leg.  I believe a pulled muscle in the back of my leg.  So I haven't ran in 1.5 weeks.  I hate it...because I have come to love running.  Never thought I would, but I do.  I should be able to start up the week.  It has slowly been on the mend.  While that has been healing I have been doing some cross training, so I don't lose the momentum that I have.  So, what have you been doing lately?  What is your workout routine?

Gratitude Friday

Image
Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
