Today's Good Things:
Had a lovely time of bible reading and journaling
Got in my Morning 15
The second floor is Deep Cleaned and Decluttered! (2 bags+ of trash and 1 bag for the thrift store...yay!)
Met my water goal
Logged my food and exercise
Ate within my eat to lose goals
Ate raw fruits or vegies at each meal
32 minute workout on the wii tonite
My sweet husband joined MFD so we are officially weight loss buddies now. :D

Today's Not So Good Things:
Baby was up twice in the night, so I missed my wake up goal...by A LOT.
I was not smart and missed my bedtime goal by a lot too.
Add the two above together and you get one T.I.R.E.D momma who was not as patient and gentle as she should have been during our cleaning sessions. :(
Missed my afternoon 15
Didn't get in my 2 liters before my tea this morning.

All in all, I'm rather impressed with my day. I feel like I've been dragged through the mud, but I was still able to keep moving and even get in my workout tonite.  Actually, I needed that workout. After struggling with my bad attitude and some other b.a.'s today, it felt good to escape into some physical exertion. I wish I would have gotten myself out the door to shovel some snow or at least play in it today. It would have done wonders for me to have gotten some fresh air.

Tomorrow is a new day and tonite is a new night. I have a glimmer of hope that I could get a full night's sleep, allowing me to wake at an earlier hour, allowing me to get to my morning routine sooner, allowing us to get our cleaning chores done before lunch, allowing us the opportunity to get outside as a family and enjoy the fresh air and newly fallen snow, allowing myself to be refreshed and ready to take on the rest of this week. I'm glad there is Hope. :-)

I'm pleased with the course this week is taking. I like the plan of "cleansing" from top to bottom. I'm thinking I may start this as a tradition for the week after Christmas. It sure is wonderful to walk into my tidy bedroom tonite and enjoy the peacefulness it holds. I can't wait to conquer the main level tomorrow. I've been having a hard time ignoring the messes that have erupted down there. ;-)

I also enjoyed my time in the word today. I didn't get to any time of reflection yet, but I'm eager to continue seeking the Lord in that area.

Okay, off to sleep for this lady. I really am feeling worn out since the baby has been sick and not sleeping well. I don't know how I've been able to keep up as I have, knowing in the past I'd have never been able to accomplish so much with so little sleep. Truly, the Lord is at work enabling me to walk in His strength.
