Getting back to working out. WII and Pilates combo still. I am seeing a difference in my ability to complete the tasks without praying for death :).
Recently I was reading about vitamin deficiencies. Being in MT most of us are sorely lacking in vit d especially in the winter. To my regime, I have added vitamins. I have been doing this for 2 weeks and am amazed at the diffence in my energy levels. The catch here has been finding supplements that I am satisfied with, for example, not made in China and not with a bunch of unneeded crud added to them. I was able to find some at the base commissary, but now I need to find a way to reduce costs.
We have been taking fish oils for a while. The oldest child has lead poisioning and I believe that this will help counteract the damage because of this.
I also have been struggling with depression for the past few years. Even simple things like showering and getting regular housework done has been an overwhelming task. The overall goal of fitness must include time with God, which has become more consistent. During the "low times" I do strive to remember that this is just a season that will pass.
I had forgotten, the exersizing and time with God are God's perfect cure for depression as the bouts are no where near what they were. Instead of how do I get through the day, I am back to looking at tomorrow. Today I am loving life!
Thank you Lord, for the insite you give, and the patience you have with my sorry self when I become so self absorbed (depression) that I forget the lessons you have shown me. I pray Lord that you will continue to walk by my side, teaching me what is important and what can go away and keep me motivated to simplify my life to needs, not wants, for the want's just clutter our lives.
