Today's Good Things:
Great day eating-wise (spot on for calories)
Very active shopping day
Blessed by the Lord's provisions!
Finished the race (to Sunday, that is ;-) )
Today's Not So Good Things:
Can't really think of any :D
I'm dubbing today, "Resistance" because it was truly a test for me in that area. When I am out for a shopping day, it is so easy for me to eat poorly. Today was a 10-5 shopping day with the whole fam. It was super fun, exhausting, and a huge blessing to have so much to unload when we got home.
While out, I Resisted:
> all of those yummy chocolate bars and treats in the checkout lane
> pizza for lunch at Sam's (we chose Subway instead..yay!)
> purchasing impulse items based on how I felt or what looked good. I stuck to my list. :-)
> unhealthy treats/snacks for the fam and bought bananas instead :D
> reading all of those awful tabloids...BLECH!
When I got home, I Resisted:
> veging out on the couch to nurse the babe while everyone else unloaded. I got busy preparing dinner and helping with the work. (even though I was *very* tired and my feet were making it known. ;-) )
> veging out on the couch while the clean up crew worked. I got busy helping in the kitchen, prepping food, and tidying the house in preparation for our day of rest tomorrow. Ahhhhhh, I love a freshly swept and vacuumed floor. :-)
I'm tired. I'm ready to veg now, that's for sure. But, I feel so great that I "finished the race" to Sunday morning. Tomorrow will be much more enjoyable for the efforts of today. Thanks, Lord, for strengthening my Resistance. :-)
Wonderful job Tracy!!!!!! Just WONDERFUL!!!! I am so proud of you! Those are BIG accomplishments!!
ReplyDeleteGood job on a great day!!!!!! We were shopping yesterday also and had a good day. Sounds like you made a lot of positive, conscious choices and I can totally picture you sprinting to the Sunday morning finish line with your head up high! Way to go!
