the death of laurels

perspective is everything...

i continually struggle to become what i'm should physically, but there's 1 big problem that i keep running in to...

it's so much easier to look back & compare my current state w/where i was rather than that w/which i'm attempting to ascribe. this is the beginning of justification through rationalization by seeing the improvement made regardless of starting point. instead of pushing through plateaus maintained to feed the flesh, i often choose to remain there, slowly dying all the while.

this physical truth isn't a mutually exclusive reality. it bleeds through to the spiritual as well. all too often i get challenged, feed, grow & awaken only after a sustained & debilitating slumber.

as long as my heart beats...

here's to the death of the laurels upon i often rest...

& putting the hand to the plow w/an eye down the row, rather than that that lay behind...

just in case you're wondering:

5'10"

240.4lbs

30.6% body fat

i don't really care about weight all that much...

i'd just like to get under 20% body fat...

i'm really convicted in this area & feel that i've been a poor steward of the body that he's given me...

sorry for the shock...

Hey stud,

Glad to see that you are taking care of yourself.

I like what you said about being a wise steward of your body. I think that is a nice way of looking at it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Keep us posted on the progress.
