Hey Gang,

I’m posting today as part of the “Fitness Fridays” blog carnival hosted over at PursuingYahweh.Net.

I FINISHED THE REGIMEN. That’s right – 8 weeks ago I jumped into what was left of the 12-week session ran by Eric Taylor here on St. Simons Island.  It was grueling and painful.  After the first regimen I could barely move for 3 days.

Yesterday was the end of the 12-week session (8 weeks for me) and though I was unable to do the “official measurements”, I know that I’ve lost around 10 pounds, definitely lost some inches, and have toned up quite a bit.  I feel better, I sleep better, and I feel better about myself personally, emotionally, and spiritually.

But it’s not over.  Eric decided to continue “Regimen” through the summer, so I’ve committed to another 12-week session.  I’ll have to miss 2 weeks in July due to the National Worship Leader Conference and a family vacation, but that’s OK . I’ve also recruited some of the guys from our church to come join in the pain.

So, that’s it … I rewarded myself yesterday by going to Chick-Fil-A and enjoying a large, peach milkshake.  I love peach ice cream, peach anything – and when I saw that flavor several weeks ago, I was bummed.  I had restraint and didn’t get it … but after working so hard, a reward was due.  And it was worth every calorie.

OK – so what’s happening with YOU?  What’s on the docket for your weekend?  Let me hear it.
