The Early Bird Gets the worm!!!!

Sooooooooo I’d like to say Monday was a great day, I woke up with this amazing amount of energy, and I ran 10 miles…. Ha! However this is not what happened…  I woke up tired!? (Believe me.. zero motivation). I had to be to work early since it is Monday.  A 5am run was not on my list of fun things to do… in fact my bed felt great… alarm went off, I looked out the window, saw it was dark out and clicked snooze…. WHY DO I DO THIS!!!!!!!!!???? Woke up a little later made breakfast… Got ready for work and I was gone….  I mean honestly who wants to get out of a warm bed at 5 a.m. when it is cold and dark outside… Probably someone who HAS to lose 40lbs by December 1^st… Somebody like me… I should not only want to, but should

be excited about getting myself healthier and fit!!!!. This is called a sacrifice- giving up something that is hard for me to give up (SLEEP), and in the end reaping the benefits…  I think of the scripture God gave me and it keeps me going :

Psalm 119 : 3, 5 ( The Message Bible)

You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.

You’re blessed when you follow His directions, doing your best to find Him.

That’s right – you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road He set…

Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set…

ah…. Thank you God for that….  I am blessed when I stay on course.. ( Doesn’t mean obstacles aren’t going pop up… just  when they do, Find God and let him fight the battle for you.. Focus on the word of God not the obstacle.. With that being said I had 1300 calories to work with yesterday…
