Day 47 and being tired

Goals

1. Closer relationship to God- Today was II Corinthians chapter 8. This chapter Paul is telling the Corinthians he knows they have problems, but they still need to give to others that are doing worse. After all he tells them, didn’t Jesus give up absolutely everything for each of them? Consider what Jesus gave to us. It is hard to wrap your head around that kind of sacrifice. Doesn’t it out our stresses into perspective?
2. Get Fit/strong- today is upper body day. I decided to skip Wednesday as a rest day and will do 3 upper this week.  I was tired today but ended up doing a full workout and t was good. I began with close grip bench press 3 sets of 10, upright row 3 sets of 10, pull downs with 90 lbs 3 sets of 10, presses on the peck deck for 3 sets of 10, incline military press with dumbells 15 lb , 3 sets of 10, skull crushers with 20 pounds 3 sets of 10, and reverse flys 3 sets of 10 with 10 pound dumb bells
3. House Organization- washed some throw rugs that have been in the basement
4. Write- 15 minutes
5. Camper Reno- did not get to this today

Being tired.

Today I am tired. I got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep. I felt my phone vibrate so I checked it and had a text from my son that lives out of state. He has many health problems, and I got a text that said “died last night” so of course I was straight out of bed and called him. His very old toy chihuahua Biscuit died in her sleep. I talked to him a bit and said I was going back to sleep. I didn’t get in from work until 1:30 am and was still tired. Well I did not go back to sleep and started to think about all the stresses I have in my life. So of course I ended up getting up and what did I tell myself? “ wow you are tired today” big mistake right from the get go. I talked to myself a bit to get in a better mood. I made myself go out to work out and the weather was so nice, 55 degrees. So I started working out and got in the groove and did a full workout. This works for me when I tell myself I am tired. I tell myself just go out and do your compound moves and then I get into it and do a full workout. I knew it was a mistake to tell myself I was tired. I think this is an instance of me focusing on my problems and not on my God. Once I move my focus good things happen and I am more motivated. Keep your focus on your goals and not how you feel. Your brain will talk you out of working out and tell you just take today off and do it tomorrow. Even if you do a limited work out, no work out is a bad one.
