Yes, once again, I confess it has been too long since my last blogging entry. And once again, I will try to commit to sitting here and writing about what's going on in my journey.
Since the last time I blogged, many things have happened. I passed my NESTA certification for Personal Training and took a job with Grand Rapids Adventure Boot Camp. About a month after I started training, I found out I had to have surgery. During recovery, I have not been able to use my body as I would like and I miss exercising regularly. I have an appointment with my surgeon this coming Wed. and I hope to be given the "all clear" then.
During my time of healing, I was not able to run, lift weights, or do pretty much anything that brought my heart rate up. I did have some time to relax and reflect which was nice but found out quickly why I need my morning exercise. My depression returned after a few days home without exercise. I need to move to feel good.
I did return to training a couple weeks ago and have gradually been adding back exercises for me little by little.
I have put on a couple pounds since I've not been my normal, active self but am trying not to fret over it. I know once I get moving again, the pounds will slide right off!
About Me
- wendy
- This blog will be used to track my experiences as I attend the Grand Rapids Boot Camp Monday-Friday for the next 4 weeks. I hope that it will give encouragement to anyone who needs it. My life has been filled with many weight ups-and-downs. When I'm experiencing an "Up" as I am now, I feel many emotions. Guilt, depression, anxiety, fear, physical pain, inadequesy, shame, anger, and sadness are a few that come to mind. I know in my head that my weight does not define who I am. But I also know that when I feel these feelings in my heart, I go into a self-destructing, sabotaging mode. I am doing this boot camp because I am not at a point in my life yet that I can create the physical "temple" that I believe God has designed for me on my own. I need accountability and this class can provide me that. So, I'm asking for your prayers for me on this journey. Thank-you! Here I go!!!!!
