Well...it turns out that I'm not a strong-willed as I thought I was.
Weight: While it's true that I cut back a lot on what I ate this week, there wasn't a marked improvement. I am reminded that it's important I change WHAT I eat as well. I also didn't have a lot of time for exercise. I will try and find more time this week.
Prayer: I did take more time to pray this week. I also found myself being a lot more conscious of the need for it. There wasn't, however, a particular part of the day that I committed to prayer. Therefore, it still felt like an afterthought. I don't want God to be an afterthought. I want God to be the first thought. I don't mean that I'm looking to be overly pious, but I do think that my ultimate happiness and fulfillment can only be found in submitting to God's will for me. I will try and use my daily drive-time as prayer-time.
I'll try and update this every Monday. Next week I'll be less of a coward and actually tell you what the scale said. If my scale had a personality and a face, it would have given me the disappointed look my mother used to give me when my actions didn't match my potential. You know what look I'm talking about.

Although there was no major improvement on my scale either! (you'd think the salmonella weight loss thing would have stuck around)
ReplyDeleteI did go to the grocery store and bought good, balanced things to eat. Orin and I haven't been out to eat since last Thursday - (trust me that is HARD!) we are going to try to not eat out the whole month of September.
(I hope I told Orin about this...)
Oerin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support. The more people I have around me doing this, the better. Maybe I should look into the salmonella thing.
