MAJOR Slippage!!

Gerry and Trina and I got brand new phones last night.  Our first smartphones!  I will move all my Palm functions to it.  My Palm is dying.  Trina got a new-er Blackberry and loves it.  Traci wishes she could have one just like it.  Traci's is an older model Blackberry.  Gerry and I both got a Motorola Android Astrix.  It is brand new...only on the market for a few days.  We all love them.

God worked things out for me today in that Gerry commented last night
that the day I had planned for today was too much, seeing as I was going to
be traveling all  day tomorrow.  There was a snowstorm today!  No school for Trina ,
no lunch with A, no midweek even because the building in which we meet  is a school board building and was closed.  So I had a very restful day.

BUT, I squandered most of it playing with my new toy.  I love electronic toys!  I could have done spent my time much more productively!  I didn't exercise, I didn't eat until dinner.  But I got household chores done too. Bed got made, laundry got put away, dinner got made, dishwasher got emptied.  A meal is cooking in the crock pot and Gerry is going to deliver it to a family that needs it.  The house is relatively clean for when I leave in the morning.  (I hope it looks decent when I get home!) My smoothie is ready for the morning.  And I am pretty well packed.

It is 9:15 pm now on Wed.  I leave the house at 8 am Thursday.  I said
good night to Gerry tonight and realized he would be gone to work before I get up and go tomorrow.  So I told him I would see him on  Monday night!!

 I am so excited for this trip to see my friend!

What happened to me the last couple of days??

Not sure why but the last couple of days have not been good at all when it comes to my eating and exercise. (I never miss a coffee, though. I almost always have 2-3/day) As a matter of fact, the last 2 days were awful!

Yesterday, if I recall correctly, I didn't eat until I had a sandwich late in the afternoon. And I did but one set of exercises.

Today was even worse! I ate a small piece of cake at church and then did not eat again until dinner. And I have not done any exercises yet today and it is 8 pm. You know what, I am going to stop typing to do a set right now!

OK. 1 set done at 8:04 pm.

I'm not sure why I did this. I am feeling pretty good, happy that Traci is home. Maybe it's the blah weather. There is one thing bothering me this weekend that I am not going to share publicly. I need to have a conversation with someone and let my feelings be known. :)

But I also need to not let someone else's behaviour affect how I treat myself! God commands us to take care of our bodies.

1 Cor 6.19-20

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

So.....


My smoothie ingredients are prepared for the morning. And I am going to do another set of exercises tonight.

I obviously need some help. I would really appreciate anyone reading this to ask me how I am doing with my eating and exercise....anytime. Please hold me accountable. Email, Comments on my posts, Facebook messages or posts to my Wall are all good. Thanks!!
