IN 60 DAYS
Zumba, Yoga, aerobics, a low carb diet…in 60 days. Yep, that’s what the doctor said. Well, maybe not quite like that but close enough. My blood work came back and my cardiologist said I need to “tweak” some things in order to get a few more numbers down. So, after my trips and recovering after them, it’s time to do a wellness program specifically geared to my heart condition. So, I decided to have fun doing it. It wasn’t pretty ( ie: doggy down & shaking my hips to the latin tunes..yes, you can laugh because I did when I got into my car!) but I did it. As for the low carb diet…that brought me to tears. I needed to work with a dietician or nutritionist but I couldn't find any that wasn’t via zoom. And quite honestly, this was the most important part of my wellness program. Until I reached out to my good friend. With all that she has to do she came to MY house and we worked on an eating program for my specific needs. Sometimes we just need to take a detour in order to take better care of ourselves. In so many ways I have been “off balanced”. It wasn’t until I retired that I realized how weary I was. Are you tired, feeling “spent” but don’t know how to change it? You still have to pay the bills, take care of a loved one, stay in a marriage that is exhausting…or find a reason to get up another day. And then there was Jesus. He says to “ Just lean into Him, casting all your cares before Him, and He will carry your burdens and give you rest”. Sounds so easy right? What if it was just that easy? Well, my challenge is for 60 days. I’m choosing to lean into Jesus, cast my cares on Him, and let Him bring me to the other side. How about you? Are you willing to give it all to Him and see just how faithful He will be? It’s time now for me and maybe for you too. And so I’ll get out my yoga mat, shake my hips, and love every bite of that carrot ( well, maybe the celery because as it turns out the carrot has more carbs!) and me and Jesus are going to finish this race…anyone heard of “pickle ball?” Don’t laugh…that’s next! See you on the other side…
