So I didn't quiet make it to getting up earlier this morning (because I was up for about two hours during the middle of the night), but I did get up and do my thirty minutes of yoga! Right in the middle of my third downward dog I came to the startling realization that I am no where near 16 years old anymore. By the time I got to the dead pose I thought I was going to die! I'm proud of myself for actually getting up and doing anything, much less the entire workout.
I also started reading in Proverbs. Chapter one was very interesting; all about the basics of wisdom, that "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline" (v 7). It also reminded me that my parents are the ones who taught me what life is about. It told me to remember the lessons of my parents because they would "crown me with grace and clothe me with honor". I like being reminded that my parents are wise and that I should listen to them, I sometimes forget that in my "adult" life.
Matt and I ran by Wal-Mart to pick up some healthier food (instead of MSG filled, highly processed cafeteria food). Breakfast will consist of fresh fruits and an organic granola, oat, and honey cereal! For lunch I will have lean turkey meat, raw veggies, and probably more fruit! My snack will be raw unsalted almonds. Supper will be normal food like stew or meatloaf and all the trimin's although I will watch my portions so that I don't have to much of a very delicious home-made thing!
Hopefully the next week will go as planed with an hour of workout and Bible study every morning. Keep your fingers crossed for me... I have never made it an entire week before! I hope this is going to be the first!
