Have I mentioned how much I love o.zone fitness?
Because I do. I started mid-January, it is now April 3. My arms are huge! Okay, they only got a little bit bigger, but they are full of muscle instead of fat and water. I don't recognize my arms when I rub them. Or when I go running and by bicep is big enough to bounce. But beyond my arms my entire body has gotten strong.
And I am never bored. And I never have to wonder when/if/what workout is going down that day.
I love it.
I love feeling strong. I love messing around on the playground with Micah.
I can do one pull-up.
Weirdly, now that I am stronger and messing around more I realize more and more how capable I am and that transfers to my kids. Who freaks out the most when a kid tries a new stunt? Overweight grandparent or parents? Watch non-kids at playgrounds. The more overweight or old the adult is, the more prone they are to freaking out every time their kid does anything adventurous. But when I test the limits and realize the stunts aren't that big of a deal, the more confidence that I have in my kids to accomplish whatever they want.
And that does not mean I will be confident while we are around cliffs next week. I doubt I have conquered my fear of heights yet.
Hmm, maybe that is why through Christ we can rise above all. Conquer all. He has done everything and has confidence that we can recover from our own stunts. Regardless if we stick the landing or not.
