I haven't posted in over a month, and here I am posted twice in one day...within minutes.
Ha! I have stuff to say, and time to say it...it just didn't fit with my last post.
I called up Paradise Fitness to get information about fees, etc. I really want to get back on track working out more. Now, I enjoy zumba. But $5 a pop...or $40 for 10 classes...or $50 for unlimited a month...is a pretty big chunk of change for me right now. And when it's mostly cardio, and I want to do more toning, I'm wanting something different. Yes, there is a zumba toning class...but it is only Wednesdays from 530-630. I have church at 7. Not a good time for me. Yes, there are bootcamp classes that are not really cardio...but they are usually at 7 pm. I don't want to sit around for 3 hrs. after work, unable to eat, waiting to work out from 7-8. I come home hungry and want to eat, yet need to be in bed by 10 or 1030 at the latest. I don't like that scenario in any way, shape, or form.
To get back to what I was saying...I called up Paradise Fitness to see what the rates were, etc. The girl I spoke to invited me in for a complimentary walk-through and work-out or whatever. So I'm going Friday at 10 am. Ha! We'll see about this...if I'm going to start paying for something, I want to know I'm going to be doing it! I was doing very well for awhile, until it got cold. I was walking almost every day...even on Saturdays! (Miracle!) So I want to get back to that. I thought about doing something at home, but let's face it...I haven't been able to make myself stick to anything at home!
So...we'll see. All I know is, I never felt better than I did when I was doing something every day. So since I quit, I've started to feel very gross. I think my body can tell it's not getting the exercise it needs...and I think that daily exercise really was helping more than I thought. Because I can definitely tell a difference now that I've stopped.

A Little Piece of Me
There are so many times I want to sit down and write something. I get bits and pieces. Usually just one page worth of inspiration. Then I end up with 50 random sheets of paper with different thoughts that I have no idea what to do with.
I've always wanted to write something that would/could be published. I've never really told anyone that, but it's something I've wanted to do for awhile. Problem is, I'm not sure how to go about making that happen. The truth is, I have always loved writing and I'm inclined to think that God must have put that in me for some reason...but I'm not sure what to do with it.
Maybe I should hold on to any random pieces of paper I find when I clean stuff out. Inevitably, whenever I go through stacks of stuff, I find at least five. I usually look at them and throw them away. I think maybe they are like puzzle pieces, and one day I will have enough to put them all together. But then I re-read them and think, "How in the world could all of these go together?" Then I throw them out.
Maybe from now I'll hang on to all of them...keep them in a folder or something. Because maybe those sheets are just like my life...I'm constantly getting bits and pieces from God that don't always make sense. But they really are puzzle pieces. I may not see how they all go together, but one day, when I'm finished with everything He has given me, I will look back and see the whole picture and finally understand how all the pieces fit together.
Perhaps I need a little more patience and faith...patience to know that anything worth doing usually isn't finished overnight...and faith that one day I will look over everything and finally see how it can all fit together to create something that will touch someone's life.
