People will always say "you have to MAKE time" for working out. Well, there is only so much time you can make out of 24 hours. Lately, being a homemaker, wife, and mother has been like having two full time jobs., and I don't want to fall short on my most important duties.
So I brought my frustrations to the Lord. I must say, I'm always so distracted when I pray, but I remember expressing my depression about my fitness to God at some point. Sometimes the Lord knows that we are trying, and even if we aren't great at praying, and can't seem to focus, if we pray with real intent, He hears us.
I know that the Lord knows my desires. He knows that I want so badly to be fit. He knows that I don't have an extra 45 minutes every day to go to the gym. He knows that Michael cannot take the kids for me for an hour every day while I work out.
So He answered my prayer for help. How? He provided a way for me to get a treadmill! FOR FREE!!! Check out freecycle ya'll. Someone in my area is getting rid of their treadmill. So now I can get my cardio inside and at home.
The Lord loves us and knows what is important to us. He cares about our physical health. He wants us to "run and not be weary and walk and not faint." (Doctrine and Covenants 89: 20)
I am so psyched about our new treadmill! I just have to figure out how to get it to my house...
That's awesome! Good luck getting it in your house!
