On the Floor

This morning I left my house going to the gym to workout with my trainer, Erica. I started training in October to gain strength and energy. I have not been able to be as consistent as I want but I am seeing some changes in my body. This morning I knew would be a tough work out because we were working legs. The last time I did an intense leg workout I did not eat well before and got really sick.
Well, I did eat well this morning. But, about 45 minutes into the workout I felt as though I was going to pass out and/or throw up. I was really dizzy and hot. I had to stop my training and go lay On the Floor. Erica went and got me a cold rag for my head. It was quite embarrassing as people walked by to use other equipment. Soon I was able to stand again and make my way to the car.
I say all this because I was reminded that the blessing or results are not always immediate and sometimes you have to really feel some discomfort. But if you keep trying to move forward you will eventually get to where you are going.
My blessing this morning was the discomfort. It helped me realize I am not there yet both physically and spiritually I have work to do. Discomfort just proves my body is feeling overloaded. But without the trials and tests and overloading I will not achieve the best that God has for me. I would be settling for something less.


 

The blessing I gave today was snuggle time with Emily! Although I think I was blessed more than she was!
