Happy Friday. It is a happy day in the Buschel house because it is grocery shopping day. We have been trying to stretch out how often we go to the store and we made it 10 days. I think that might be a record in our house.

Poor Josh, he is the one shopping today and my list is so long. We are also picking things up for family members so that adds to the list but honestly most of the items he is buying are for us. Our kids are so excited for more apples and oranges. It seriously the simple things in life right now like fresh produce that are bringing smiles to our faces.

YouTube Follow Along Version

You can also follow along with me on YouTube. I filmed a slight variation on this workout last night. And oh my goodness I was such a sweaty mess.

I used to worry so much about having to make sure everything was perfect until I shared it on my blog. Right now I am just so grateful for this outlet that allows me to be creative and focus my attention on something else other than the news when the kids go to bed and Josh is on shift.

Have fun and happy sweating!

Here is the upper body workout I did this morning…

I repeated this 2 times. It is an effective but short workout that packs a punch. The pike pushups get me every time.

After I finished I walked a 1/2 mile around my backyard before the kids woke up. I am trying to move as much as possible during the day. I have worn a path in our grass from all the walking.

When I was walking I listened to my bible readings for the day. I am currently using The Gospel Coalitions Read The Bible in a year plan. The sun was starting to get higher in the sky as Psalm 24 was being read.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,
    the world and those who dwell therein,
for he has founded it upon the seas
    and established it upon the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not lift up his soul to what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek the face of the God of Jacob

Psalm 24

I felt so much peace after listening to this. I love how each year when I read the bible a passage will stick out to me like it never has before. Seeking God is often a daily struggle for me. I wish that weren’t the case but that is the truth. It is super easy for me to find things to fill my time with but I have the learned that the best way for me to spend my time to is to read God’s word. I may not understand everything I read but I do have more peace because I filled myself up with encouragement and grounded myself in a wisdom that comes from the maker of heaven and earth.

This workout is part of the Free 1 Month Plan that I put together.
