I'm Baaack

After several months (about 5) of not exercising/blogging very much I am on my way back. Of course duck season just ended and turkey season doesn't start for 2 months, so I get a little time to try and get back into some shape for turkey season. however, the last week has not been a good one to start getting back on track. during the last week it has not been out of the 30's much, last monday there was quite a bit of snow on the ground, it also rained a day or two this past week, and in the last 2 hours we have gotten 2 more inches of snow. i have a hard time getting motivated when it is cold and wet.

however, despite the cold and wetness i have found a place to exercise. in my house. funny how i used to do my steps all the time before i started running and now it seems too simple, not enough of a challenge. i figured, though, that it was better to do something than nothing. so, i went up and down my steps here at the house for roughly 25 minutes with my 15lb vest on and jumped in place for roughly another 5 minutes. not too strenuous but it was a start. i also did some stretching, hopefully that will help the pain i have been having in my back (losing 20lbs would probably help more).

thanks to everyone who has been greatly anticipating my blogs for this year, i hope you will continue to read and comment.

thought of the day: "don't you ever wish you were someone else, you were meant to be the way you are exactly, don't you ever say, you don't like the way you are, when you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far...i think that you could be, whatever you want to be, if you could realize all the dreams you have inside." this is a quote from a song by Joey Mc Intyre (not sure if he wrote it or not). for those of you who know who Joey Mc Intyre is, Ii probably lose credibility, however, i think it is a great quote and a great song. i think we all have to realize we are who we are and we have to focus on the talents God has given us. However, there is another song that ends "make that change." (Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson). so i think we need to change the negative, human downsides to ourselves (selfishness, envy, etc.) but our physical parts we should, well , nevermind, this is way too complicated for me to explain all of this without a face to face conversation. just trust in The Lord and let Him lead you and you will be fine.
