I need to start exercising more. I need to drop fifty pounds to stay healthy and make the most of my life in this world.
I go back and forth on my commitment, though. On the one hand, my body is a temple of the Ruach haKodesh and I want to treat it as such. On the other hand, I don’t want to slip into pride and vanity.
However, whether it’s walking, swimming or doing ellipticals, I don’t think pouring some time into losing weight would be a bad thing. It could even help.
On the other hand, all that time working out is time I’m not studying Torah. See the problem? I need a better balance, though, before this extra weight really costs me something.
