The Muscle Man

There's this guy.  A weightlifting dude.  He's the one everyone notices in the gym, mainly because he does those loud breathing noises with each flex of his muscles.  Then after each rep he hikes up his shorts to expose his muscley leg so he can do his pose for the wall mirror.  And I'm the one who just can't help but stare.  I've always been a people watcher.  I love staring at people, much to Antony's dismay.  I like to put myself in their shoes, I wonder what their life must be like, how they must think and feel.  Anyway, back to the muscle man.  Although he made the show of being a pro, I found it odd that he didn't look super fit, in my humble opionion.  I'm far from being Mrs. Olympia, but his tubby belly just doesn't make the cut.  Antony wanted to ask him for his expert advice and I said, "Why go to someone who says he knows all this stuff but doesn't have the body to show for it?  If I'm going to a trainer, I want to go to a trainer that actually looks fit."  Like at the makeup counter - do you go for a makeover to the girl who is all made up or the girl who doesn't have any make-up on and really needs it?  I want to buy from someone who's knows what they are talking about and can prove it with results.  It made me think, what are things in my life that I say I know -  principles and truths that I believe and have seen work, but I don't put into action on a consistent basis?  Ow.  I've heard the time management principles and about writing out my tasks and appointments in a daytimer type thing. I know it works, but I've never flexed those muscles before and therefore I don't see the results of a trim schedule.  So, I think it's time to get this work out in my daily routine.  In your own life, what are some principles that you know work but aren't putting into action?  Think it over - God will show us the things that we can begin to walk out to ensure we are as fit as can be!
