DAY 644 STRENGTH TRAINING... IT'S CALLED LIFE...

My DH was hospitalized again today and will be there a while. *sigh* On my Fitness Forum we log our daily Cardio and Strength training and an Assessment for the day.  Some days I've put "none" on Strength and today I reconsidered that entry, it wasn't entirely true.  You see I've had to be physically and emotionally strong to get through each day for a very long time peeps.  Not all strength is developed via weight training.  Quite often strength training, well, it's called LIFE!  There's an old saying that whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger... I believe this to be quite true.  We're in training every day, whether we realize it or try to be intentional about it or not.  Sure, I've now incorporated some weight training to develope a certain amount of strength, but most of the strength I possess has certainly been developed in other ways.  Ways I didn't always choose or appreciate, sometimes ways that tested what strength I presently had while developing it to be even stronger.  There have been days when I've felt that I've been pressed above measure and beyond strength... only to find that I'm actually stronger than I've given myself credit for or realized because I've endured and gone on, tired at times, but still moving forward.  My hope for each of you is that you continue to have the strength for this journey each of us is on and reach your destination so that you finish ... and finish well.    Hugs, Dawn

Dawn, I think it should be called "Weight training for the soul" and yes, we live it, like it or not, everyday.

Keep on keepin on sweetie, we have no other choice!

All my best,

AMEN. We are going through a really stressful and tough time with our adult son, and I feel like I am gaining emotional strength day by day just because of being forced to live through something like this and gain the inevitable experience & wisdom it brings....thanks for the great post.
