I really enjoy the blog My Simpler Life and this post really struck me:
Reason #6 to simplify your life: Your health is being neglected.
My life is not that complicated, really. Yet still these things seem to end up in last place on my priority list. I wonder why that is? Can it be that if I have time to eat well and exercise, my guilt triggers tell me that I'm not busy enough?If you don’t have time to maintain the body you have, you are doing too much. You can’t just drop your health and think that there will be no future consequences. You know there will be - you just don’t want to look that far ahead. And there are consequences right now - getting sick more often, being tired a lot, getting headaches, heartburn and stomach aches.
You don’t have to have the perfect body. You just need to care at least minimally for what’s been given to you - exercising 3 times a week, eating mostly right, getting enough sleep, brushing and flossing and getting your checkups.
Hmm... something to think about this Lent.

I used to feel like working out was taking time away from somethng - but now I realize it is giving me time back, to be better at what God calls me to....
