Our house is so COLD!  Last night something was up with the heating&#8230; and of course the temperature dropped and it snowed a bunch.  SO the thought of getting up from my warm bed is highly unappealing.<\/p>\n<p>There is no hot water, since our heating system is connected to the heating of the water&#8230; so I guess I can let the boys sleep for a bit more.  Then there is the thought of going to the gym&#8230; do I really want to go?<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8230; I had an amazing workout.   I really pushed myself to work out at levels I haven&#8217;t before.  Guess what, no cardiac arrest!!!  I struggled with the last few minutes&#8230; but really  over all I was so surprised that I could do it!<\/p>\n<p>I felt good&#8230; really good that maybe I am not a wimp after all.  Maybe it is all so IN MY HEAD!!!  Maybe I am just lazy!  Maybe obtaining a body I am satisfied with is doable!!!<\/p>\n<p>When I began the attempting to work out about a 2 years ago, my rest heart rate was over 100!  I was so unaware of how BAD that was.  Now&#8230; it is at 68!<\/p>\n<p>My blood sugar levels are normal again.  I hesitate to use the word again, because I am not sure how many years they were out of whack!  I still have to take the med&#8230; but I really believe that once I beat my addiction towards comfort food&#8230; and continue to exercise&#8230; I will reverse the diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>I am so glad that God made my body so forgiving.<\/p>\n<p>I realize that as a foodaholic this will be a life time battle. But at this moment in time&#8230; I am feeling optimistic for the first time in a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I better get over the fact that I am  freezing, it is so cold and snowy outside and I am going to have to be a serious nag to get the boys up and out!<\/p>\n<p>A healthy body is calling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is 6:59a.m. Our house is so still!
