Proverbs 31 Pushups

Today, I'm twenty-eight. (I figure if I spell it out, you won't be able to read the number.)

I don't feel old. I'm not really that old. I'm simply enjoying the "other" side of the twenties.

I can still get on the floor and back up again. I can jog. (Well, it's been a while. Not sure about that one.) I don't wear floral blouses and pull my pants right beneath my boobs. I have never been able to see, so glasses aren't new, and I still have all my teeth. Yeah, I'm totally still young.

Today, I also began working out. Again. This is seriously difficult. When? Where? How?

Plus, what are my motives? Get in shape for weddings I'm in? Get in shape to have more energy for my hubby and Caleb? Get in shape, so I don't scare off young children at the beach? Oh wait. All those should be secondary to: Get in shape to glorify the Lord with my body.

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)

I did 60 pushups, 100 crunches and 100 lunges/squats. (Notice, I didn't spell those numbers out.) Not too shabby for an out-of-shape-late-twenty-something-mom. Happy birthday to me! 

I'm going to have me some Proverbs 31 arms by September. "She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong." (Proverbs 31:17)
