First, I'm most pleased with my growing habit of an earlier bedtime. Most every night I've been getting to bed by or before 10pm. That's a great accomplishment for me. The fact that I'm so tired and can't keep myself awake later than that testifies to satisfying work I've been able to accomplish each day. It's only by His grace, and I'm thankful to see yet another positive physical change in me that reflects the work He is doing in my life.
Second, I'm only .5 pound from the next decade!! Over the weekend, I saw a good sized loss. That was so encouraging. I feel like I've been in this decade for the longest time. I even started to wonder if I was just meant to live here forever. So be it, if that's what the Lord determines. Yet, I don't think it is. It just makes perfect sense that I will continue to heal, by way of the excess shedding, when I return to His best plan. It took me nearly 20 years to build this mess. Waiting on the Lord's healing is not something I should begrudge. Their is growth and blessing in the wait.
So, to begin this week, I'll set a few goals.
1. Morning worship
2. Morning weigh-in
3. Chore inspection and breakfast WITH the children
4. Afternoon workout
5. Evening worship
6. Bed by 10pm
7. Strict on the 6 Week plan
8. Follow up on Friday to check with goals list.
I'm wanting to get back into reading through Dr. Stoll's book, Alive! this week. There is so much there for encouragement and blessing. I somehow need to better budget my time so that I can fit in more reading and learning. I'm at a place right now where I have many issues arising that need my focus and attention and it's getting a little challenging to know which has priority.
The best way to handle it is NOT to give up and be lazy, though. So, armed with my list of goals for the week, I'm off to greet a perfectly Mundane Monday and make it Maaahvalous!
