So I didn't get up and begin exercising like I had planned a week or two ago. Now it is a month before we go to MN and I really want to see some changes going on. I did my grocery shopping over the weekend and have good meals planned for myself. I am praying for God's strength to say no and walk away from the things I know I don't need. I may want them at the moment but I am not going to give in to it.
I got up at 5:00 a.m. today. Worked out with Jillian (Level 1) for 25 minutes. It always feels so good to exercise. Then I filled my spirit with the love of God and had TAG time with Him. I have begun a new devotional book called Solo and I am sure impressed with it so far. It felt so good to start my day with exercise and God. Truly the best way to jump start a Monday.
Tonight is very busy. I have made lasagna for the family to have for dinner. I am trying to go leaner than that though, so I am going to make myself some fish and a salad to have for dinner. I didn't weigh, measure or count my calories today. I take that back. I did measure some things and I will continue to do that for my portions. I'm just not writing it down and counting it right now, but I will. This week is focused on getting back into routine of working out and reading my Bible.
Breakfast: Blueberry smoothie with 1 T flaxseed, scrambled egg in 1 t olive oil (tastes so yummy!).
Lunch: Spinach salad with cheese, croutons, dressing; slice of chicken/artichoke pizza deLight and an apple.
Dinner: is going to be....4 oz tilapia, a salad and possible some rice (or maybe just a slice of bread to get my fiber in) and a glass of milk.
Snack: Whole wheat wrap with peanut butter.
Welcome to my crazy week! Tonight we have Back to School night for Matt, tomorrow night is football for Matt and Wednesday night Steve and Sarah have their Bible studies. We won't actually eat dinner together at the table again until Thursday night! This is only temporary though. Football and Steve's Bible study both end in October and then things will calm down a little. I have to admit, I am loving it! ♥
