Y’all know I start the year with a vision board, right? I also got on the Vision 101 course, by Terri Savelle Foy. I have to admit the Vision 101 course is fabulous and it’s shaking my world.
Last year I was doing my hour of power by 20 minutes of reading or listening to something motivational, 20 minutes of journaling and hearing the Father’s voice, and 20 minutes of exercise.
So, Marty and I decided to join Planet Fitness in the town next to us which is a wonderful place. The price is right, it truly is a “no judgment zone,” and they have these little extras after you exercise like the water massage, a vibration booth with ultra violet rays, and tanning for the people that want it.
My new dilemma is to figure out how I can do this hour of power first thing in the morn with driving to the gym, working out, and driving home included. I was exercising with YouTube before. Two times this week Marty went ahead to the gym and I stayed home and did things my old way. I asked him if he missed me at the workout and he said that he likes it when I go.
I have to dig a little deeper and go for a little more change now. I am thinking that if I get EarPods, Earbuds, Airbuds, or Airpods for my Bluetooth on my phone and go ahead and get unlimited data on my phone, then I can kill one of the twenty minute things while I am doing my exercise at the gym, and do the journaling before I leave to go exercise in the morn.
It’s ok to change things up a bit, because lots of times if we don’t change things, we get stuck in a plateau in our weight and in our workout. Change is good!
At first change seems hard, but it is always good to be stretched out of our comfort zone. It makes us feel fulfilled in the process. Whatever you do, don’t resist change.
There is good, and there is better! What I was doing before was good. But what I am getting ready to do is going to be better. There are also some new connections and exciting things starting to come our way and I will be sharing them soon.
Another goal I have for this year is to send a blog out once a week. They should–I mean WILL— be coming out every Friday. That is called accountability and actually so is my working out with Marty.
Accountability and Change are good!
•I will be accountable!
•I will change.
•I will have a good attitude while I am doing it!
•I challenge you to do it too!
•We got this!
•See you soon!

Excellent advice!
Thanks Deanna❣️🥰
Ironically, Mickey and I have started going to the gym together as well. But since I go to work very early (I leave home at 5:30), we have been doing this in the afternoon. The down side is that I feel rushed afterwards to hurry up, get dinner on the table, do normal things to prep for the next day, and get to bed. When I feel rushed, I get stressed. Changing my routine has not been easy. But going to the gym is a good thing. And it allows us to spend that time together. It has only been a couple of weeks. So I think once I get settled into the routine, it will get easier. Thanks for sharing your journey and encouraging us along the way! This post is just what I needed today.
Thanks Bridget, we will get this figured out!!😍
One thing inevitable about life is change!! We know all about it. Change keeps me from stagnation, which I am thankful! Seems like there is a lot of change these days, change for the good! I think change is brought about to prosper us and not harm us. I love these blogs and they usually run parallel to what I go through in life. Good job Jill!!! We appreciate the blogs!
Thank you❣️😘🌸
