| Rosemary Chester, was loved by all that knew her. She made the workplace a more peaceful place. She was a woman who believed in the power of prayer. I can remember twice in my life emailing her in time of prayer. I always knew if I needed to hear the Word to wander into her office for support. Her smile and sincerity will always be remembered. She fougt a good fight and ran a good race. RIP Rose |
Ok, this morning, at 7:00 a.m. I met with my trainer. I mention the time because sometimes we fall into the excuse I don't have time to workout. Sometimes we just have to make the time and organize our lives to make it happen. I did some arm and core work, I am lifting iron and feeling stronger. Toward the end of the rep my arms begin to tremble, this is when I have to keep my focus and remember it will be over soon LOL It is hard getting up but I get up, I turn the bed a loose pray for strength and get it moving. The experience in the gym is calm, quiet and very peaceful. I ride the treadmill as a warm up when I get there and my trainer's wife is already on her treadmill, we have good conversation and then I move on to machines and in between the machines I do cardio to keep my heart rate up. At one point I reminded my trainer that I was 53 years old to let him no I am no spring chicken, his response was that means you have had more years to get ready for this. I then let him know if he catches me rolling my eyes at him to understand that I really don't mean it and to keep pushing. Folks I really need the push if I had to do all what he has me doing at home I would stop immediately, quick fast and in a hurry, like stop after rep 3 LOL So I will go back Wednesday morning for more trauma. He laughs when I call it trauma as he knows I am a social worker/therapist. Keep me in prayer people. Again I don't want muscular arms they need toning, abs need to be sucked, tucked and pulled, but I know it will take time, dedication, and commitment.
This evening I will do my Boot Camp which is cardio and strength training. My goal in this class is do the cardio with proper technique and form. During strength training I want to be able to do the crunches, weights etc correctly working to get through the reps. The difference in strength training during boot camp from my PT is that I can get away with not doing them LOL I can not do one or two, but with the PT I have to do them all.
Tonight is bible study at Nicole's ! Excited about studying God's word. We had homework too.
On Saturday I participated in Bible study training preparing us as teachers for upcoming Life Groups. This Wednesday will be an evening of excitement as we do Group Link. Group Link gives people interested in participating in Life Group a closer look at each group to determine what their own needs would be for placement. It will be held thisWednesday August 15th at 7:00 p.m. at NCBF. I have a tab on this blog that will take you to NCBF where you can obtain address and any other info.
I am so glad I made the decision to have my hair braided, there is still maintenance to be done but it is so less stressful and I don't have to go to the salon 2x monthly freeing up my evening schedule.
