Well, it's the beginning of Week 6 and you know what they say..."It takes 6 weeks to develop a habit" I believe I'm at that point. I definitely don't wake up excited to exercise (even though most days I feel better afterward). I wish I could say that was the case for me, but lately I've been feeling rather crummy. I don't know the cause...maybe weather, maybe allergies... I've suffered from exhaustion, migraines, bloating, and an uneasy stomach. So, as I said, I'm definitely not excited to exercise, BUT I do it anyway! The scale was a little more friendly today. I am noticing major muscle development in my legs, so I'll take the slow moving scale. I just wish I could lose all the fat around the hips and thighs along with the muscle development. My runs are getting longer and farther and I really enjoy that time listening to some great Christian music and people watching. I've expanded beyond just my neighborhood so that the monotony of it doesn't slow me down. Though I liked the other workout I was doing, I didn't feel it was long enough, so I switched back to the 30 day shred. I will start Level 2 tomorrow and am looking forward to the change. I'm sure I will still yell at Jillian when I feel she's asking me to do something ridiculous. I just wish she could hear me! :-)
I'm still working my way through James with Beth Moore and am thoroughly enjoying it. She always makes me laugh! I love that her daughter Melissa is adding something a little extra to this study, so I get to dig even deeper. Our class at church yesterday actually reference one of the scriptures from James I have highlighted, James 1: 5-6. It has really helped me keep my focus during my job hunt. I really feel like the Lord led me to this study right when I needed it. Don't we serve an awesome God!
Starting this week, I'm setting diet goals for myself. These are food changes I'd like to make in order to make this a FULL body restoration. It's going to be a long, grueling process as it will require much more support from outsiders. SO, if you're with me, help me keep these goals in order to develop healthier eating "habits"!!!
1. No more snacks after 8pm. Very rarely do we eat dinner this late, but sometimes there's just no avoiding it. That's not what I'm talking about here...I'm talking my late night Peanut Butter Oreos or Sour Patch Kids or Ice Cream. NO MORE!!!
2. Bye-bye pop. This one is going to be BRUTAL! Dr Pepper and I are BFFs, especially with my migraines lately (at least that's my excuse)! We typically don't buy pop to have at home because we know it would cost us a fortune as quickly as we'd drink it, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. However, every time we go out to eat, I order a pop.
