Shake it up

As you know, a few in our household have been trying to change our outward appearance. It has not been easy. It is something that we have to keep working at. Some days it takes all that we have to walk a way from the computer, TV, dinner table, or bed. Some days it is almost painful to put on work out clothing and do things to our bodies that we would not think they would do. Several months later, we are seeing results.

However, we have reached a point that we don't seem to be progressing anymore. It is hard to find justification to keep moving forward. It makes it really easy to justify sleeping in, watching TV, or cuddling up with a good book. But then I know that I feel guilty. I know that I should be doing something.

I have been thinking about this a great deal as of late. I am not feeling this lack of progress in the physical area of my life. I feel like I am floundering in other areas of my life as well. I have become stagnant. I find myself coming down on myself because I am not home teaching the way I should, I am not studying scriptures enough, I am not keeping my journal up, I am not balancing. I feel out of sync at work as well. Sometimes I feel like I am losing touch at home.

What do I do? Some times I don't know. I have determined that I just need to keep moving. Just like any thing else. I have do something. I can't stop. I can't give up. It does not matter what it is. Homework, prayer, study, learning, or working out. I just have to keep doing. The urging that I feel to stop is just the devil and his minions trying to make me as miserable as they are. I need ignore them and move keep doing what I need to do. We all do. Shake it up and succeed no matter how hard it may seem or how stagnant it may seem. Just keep going.
