Fit in February

I love working for an employer that cares holistically about me as an individual. LAC even has two nurses as a part of its regional team, both of whom serve on what we call the "Human Care Circle." 

Last month, I joined them and a few other missionary ladies (the same masterminds behind LAC's spirit weeks waaaaaay back in April and May) to plan "Fit February." Each week focused on a different aspect of health: physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. We created a calendar of daily challenges like

Get at least 8 hours of sleep.

Tackle a long time to-do list item.

Say a new meal prayer.

Send a note of appreciation or thanks to someone.

Participation - by posting a photo in our regional WhatsApp group - in Monday's featured challenges merited entry into a drawing for one of two Amazon gift cards (which I did not win). I promised on Facebook that I'd share all four of mine after the fact, so here goes. 

Monday, February 1: Get at least 30 min. of cardio. 

Easy, peasy...and where else but at the botanical garden?

Monday, February 8: Treat yourself to a delectable indulgence. 

A leftover Superbowl cupcake courtesy of Courtney - evidently, the best part of the game if you're a Chiefs fan like her. I only watched the until the first commercial break. 

Monday, February 15: Listen to and/or sing a hymn or Christian song. 

We all know I do not sing, but "The King of Love My Shepherd Is" had been stuck in my head ever since making this my phone background, so I looked up a YouTube video. (P.S. Said background is a custom design by my friend and fellow missionary Lizz Warren. Find this month's here, along with links to her blog and etsy, Zazzle, and Facebook pages.)

Monday, February 22: Video chat with a friend or family member. 

For two busy people, Marco Polo is great! Look me up if you're a Marco Polo user, too. 

Until next time, blessings!
