The Wall

I think it is fair to say I hit my wall this morning. I believe the combination of getting up at 5:30 in the morning most of the week along with pushing my body to its physical limit has finally taken its toll. I just couldn't do anything this morning. I mean nothing. My whole body is in pain. My brain is exhausted. I'm done. And, you would think that the weekend would be my saving grace, but it isn't. I have to get up early for Carson's first soccer game on Saturday. And, I have Church at 9 on Sunday. In other words there is no rest for the weary. I will have to get up at around 5:30 every day but Wednesday next week, so I can make up my boot camp class from Saturday. I know that these are just growing pains. I know that my body is just having a hard time adjusting to this new schedule and all of the work it is having to do. I just wish I was better with change. You know, it is a funny thing. My New Year's goals were to get healthy physically and to find the Spirit in everything I do, but I haven't even tried to combine the two. The fact is that getting physically healthy has everything to do with the Spirit. I know that my new diet is really what I should have been eating all along. I mean, it is a little more specific than the Word of Wisdom, but it is very close to what is outlined in the Scriptures. More than that I know that the Lord gave me a temple to live with here on Earth. It is my job to take care of it, so I can receive the promised blessings. And, of course this isn't easy. The right thing is almost never easy. But, beautiful blessing are promised to those who choose the right things. So, as much as I would just love to throw in the towel, I am going to do the right thing and keep pressing forward. I am looking forward to the day when I will run and not be weary!!
