Hitting up the gym

Posted by admin on March 31st, 2008 — Posted in Losing weight

Lately I have been talking up the fact that I am back in the gym and that I can probably out lift all of the guys in the student ministry. I enjoy comparing the size of my forearm to the biceps of the guys in our ministry. For me it has been a lot of fun shedding some extra lbs (I have a long way to go) and it has also been fun showing off my bigger arms.

I want to make sure everyone understands my motivation for getting back in the gym. No it was not just to bench more than the guys in the Student Ministry. For the past year I felt that I really was not living out my mission statement. I want to love God with my EVERYTHING! As I was adding weight and getting fatter, I was also getting lazier. I didn't feel like I was loving God with all that I am because I was not healthy.

Now that I am hitting up the new Golds Gym my energy level has increased and I feel that I can be more productive for MY GOD. Being in the gym has also given me another opportunity to make some friends outside of the Church.

THE reason I am hitting up the gym is for God's Glory. I desire to love Him with my everything.
