Day Three Hundred Twenty One - REST DAY

Oh man, much needed Rest Day today! My body was really wanting to just take it easy. 6 whole days of Overkill. I have been working out so much, it's insane. My body has Never Ever Never Ever Ever Ever Never had this kind of intensity before. It really blows too, I wish I could've started doing this back in April when Fyrescape first started! I should've at least done DDP yoga every evening after my 6 mile walk, but no I didn't. I just did the walk and that was it for the rest of the day. No wonder that only worked for a lil while. I needed to really push myself. My body pretty much got used to the walk, then it wasn't really getting anymore work in or burning anything. That truly does happen! That's the cool thing about Fyrescape. Not only have I dropped weight and got healthy, but I have learned so much about fitness and experienced so many things that I'd either read about or haven't known at all. Now I know what to do and not do, and what consequences are for certain things. I'm definitely going to teach everything I've learned to ppl who want advice or any of my family. I thank God for all of this too because without Him and His guidance and blessings, none of this would have been possible! God made it to where I needed to go to the hospital last April because I believe that was the Only thing that was going to make me open my eyes. I was so blind to everything! I needed a jolt and slap in the face, basically to get myself going. I'm just ever so thankful. My year of Fyrescape is almost up, then Fyrescape 2 starts. That was is pretty much going to be what I'm doing now in 'Overkill Mode', but I'll be doing more and different workouts daily. It's gonna be a wicked ride, that's for sure! I'm excited for my results come April 2016. It'll be tough, but I know I can do it. I will try to pray every morning, and I'll just keep on keepin on.

Finished my gallon of water today.

My day was spent just relaxing. We went to church this morning over at Ideal Baptist Church again. It was a great service. It's so refreshing seeing our old Pastor Fleetwood there. He was much more energetic this time around. Last Sunday he was sick and getting over the flu so his speech was really slow and he seemed like he was pretty sick. Today, man, he was happy and talking loud, just the way Lisa and I like it. So great to see that!

After church, we went and got groceries, then we headed home after getting Subway for lunch. It was a pretty good day. I spent the evening just relaxing. Exercise has been so embedded in my mind lately that this evening I was thinking, "oh man I gotta get up and do my evening...or WAIT, it's my REST DAY! I don't gotta do NOTHIN!!" lol. It's so cool. I can actually relax without having to wonder if I'm doing enough. Before all I was doing was a wimpy 3 miles and that was it. Taking Rest Days after 5 days. For what?! I wasn't pushing myself so I didn't need to take a rest day then. Well now, my rest days are earned. I'm pushing myself everyday for 6 days straight. It's really Awesome!! Today was earned and very much enjoyed. Back at it tomorrow ;}
