This past week I have gotten up at 5:20 each morning, but on my shorts and hiking shoes and have done a quick 3-mile hike before going to work. It has been the best! I feel good in the day. I am more ready to do my job. Today, I was off and slept in. I made it all the way til 2:00 pm until I was itching for those muscles in the back of my legs to burn as I climb that steep hill. So I changed into my brand new workout clothes and went on my hike.
My time was the best of the week, (I think being awake for a few hours helped with that) and feel so alive right now. And I feel like I am allowed to eat a protein shake afterward which is a win-win (I'm pretty sure I love protein shakes more than milkshakes and they are overall really good for you-- this recipe is 1/1/2 frozen banana, protein powder mix, mega greens mix, peanut butter and almond milk)This time out in the woods has been good for me. I first started to help tighten up my mushy legs and to help melt a few of the many pounds I gained this past winter. But, it has been helping my soul the most. I need this hour a day to use my muscles, to be quiet, to listen to podcasts. Putting all of those things together does something inside of me that changes me in a very positive way. It brings me closer to the Lord and lets me be open with my relationship with him.
