Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum....

I went to workout today after church and lunch. Picture this in your head....I have my tank tops, yoga pants, and new shoes on. I have my hair pulled up in a Pom Pom and a crazy headband holding all my bangs back. Not at all attractive, but knew I had to pull those bangs back on week two. Sweaty bangs are not attractive. On week three, I had to buy weight lifting gloves because I got a callus!!! I am not going to have callused hands...just not gonna happen. So I am quite a sight when I go to the gym, but I don't care! 

My normal workout schedule goes like this...

10 min - warmup on the treadmill

40-50 min - weight lifting (the pretty term is strength training...but I call it weight lifting)

30-40 min - treadmill

The gym has a cinema room. In the cinema room it's dark like a movie theater. I love it being dark!! Nobody can see my struggling to run! They play a movie every day....it just repeats every 2 hours or so. I have watched great movies...Grease, the Notebook, Iron Man....etc. Well, today was the best kick butt movie ever!!!!! ROCKY II!!!! 

The movie starts with the theme song and the Rocky vs. Apollo Creed fight. When I say the theme song, I mean THE THEME SONG!!! I love that song! I play it for my kids at school during testing week. When you hear it, you think you can do anything! I did the impossible today. I ran 1 minute..walked 2 minutes. 8 TIMES! So I ran 8 minutes!! A.Maz.Ing!! 

So not only am I fired up today after running 8 minutes, but I am reminded that music plays such an important part of my life. For those who don't know me, I'm a singer. I've been singing since I could talk. And music inspires me! I teach music to 400ish elementary students each week. I love my job more than anything. It's my goal to instill a love for music in them. But today....THE THEME SONG reminded me that nothing is too great for me! I can run 8 minutes today....and 18 minutes in a few days!! I just have to keep my eye on the fight ahead of me and remember I am not running alone! I know God is beside me at the Gym and he is helping me fight for good health! I can't do this without Him! 

Luke 1:37 says, "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
