Up and at it early today. It is hard to believe that school starts back for teachers in two weeks. My goal right now is to get up at 7 next week. Get up by 6 the next week and get up at 5 when school starts back to continue this exercise plan that I am on. I know if I get up and go ahead and do it there won't be as many things that get in the way. It seems like if I try to wait until the afternoon, I just don't have the energy and appointments, meetings, etc get in the way. This way I will hopefully be more faithful to it. Getting up at 5 sounds impossible and I will have to guard bedtime. But I am going to try.
I feel really strong right now. I feel in control. I have had times in the past where if I got as far off track as I did this weekend and had things coming up where I felt like I couldn't control it, I would just keep putting off getting back on track. I am so proud of myself for coming home from girls weekend and getting right back on track. I am not even worried about the meal today, because I know that I can come home and get right back on track. That one meal is not going to make that much difference. Besides seafood is good for you.
I don't have to eat the whole plate, but I don't have to feel guilty if I do!
I don't want guilty feelings associated with food. They don't help! God is not setting me up for failure. He does not want me to feel guilty about what I eat. He wants me to be strong and healthy. He wants me to feel good. He will help me to stay on track!
