Today is the day that Mark is to hear about his job, but not until the afternoon. We prayed that morning and have others praying for us. Good news is that he received an offer and accepted the new position. God is so Good!! This rollercoaster of a ride has been - at least for me - peaceful. Ever since I read "do not worry" in my bible four weeks ago, I have not worried. I've trusted that God would make a way and He has. He deserves the praise and the glory.
The difficulty about postponing exercise is that the blahs of the day often sidetrack even the best of intentions. I have a bad habit of turning off my mind by watching TV. That is what happened early this morning. I woke up with an hour that could be spent exercising, but I watched a TV that I had recorded. Notice I said 'recorded' meaning I could watch it anytime, but I chose to use my prime workout time to find out the latest events of fictional characters. What a waste. Then it dawned on me. Why not do both. I used my amazon gift card to purchase an earlier full season of a show I started watching in season 3. Each show (without commercials is about 43 minutes long). I brought my KF to the gym, turned on the latest episode, plugged in my headphones and used the elliptical machine while I caught up on my shows. It was great. 500 calories burned while I watched TV.
When I got home, Mark came upstairs to chat about the day and he brought nachos. Nachos!! Seriously? As he crunched away, I gave in to temptation. So when I weighed this morning, I expected that the late night snack of such a salty food would have added at least a pound or two onto the scale. It didn't. Down 2.2. Who knows, but yeah for me.
I got a chance to read Karen's post-cleanse blog post, and I'm so thrilled with her success. Great loss and I'm sure those peanut M&M's were worth the wait. I am also looking forward to making my own homemade lentil soup. Shared her recipe - and it looks delicious - although my first thought was "do I have a pot that big to hold all that soup?" But, I'm sure I do. This past week I've been eating well and exercising daily. I just have to keep doing the right thing and it will ultimately pay off in the end.
