Continuous
Our family has started doing this silly thing the past few days, well most of the family. Yesterday it was Short Man, The Queen, and myself. This morning Little Man joined us. We have yet to see Tall Man and of course The Princess is studying abroad. We started exercising. I know it is crazy.
Anyway, for the most part, I feel like I am in pretty good shape. I rode my bike to work almost every day this summer. I used to swim on a regular basis. So hey, getting up at 5:45 in the morning and doing a little strength training, cardiovascular, and abdominal training should be a big deal. Well, I was wrong. I am dying. My body is screaming all sorts of obscenities at me. Then getting up and doing it again today was even worse.
I ask the stupid question, why is that? Why can't we just pick up where we left off? Isn't it funny how somethings are that way. I have been on vacation for the past two weeks. Yesterday, I jumped right back into the grind and worked a 12 hour day. When I got home, I was tired and there were times that I really wanted to just take a nap, that is what I had been doing while on vacation. So even though I felt like I was picking right back up where I left off, I really wasn't.
Everything we do in life is that way. If we become idle, give up, or stop our continuous progression, we will loose what we have. This is true with our education, language, testimony, or even staying in shape. If we don't continually strengthen it, work it, use is, and/or apply it to our lives, it will eventually waste away. We will find ourselves having to start all over again to get where we once were.
Don't let what you have go to waste.
