What a loss of a day! LOL....for real! Today was...how do I say it....TRAGIC? OIY! Started out good but didn't ebb and flow like the last 4! Temptations set in, temptation won! *ugh* That's ok though. I know that there are no real excuses for my lake of obedience. I do think that being in this cold, dreary, snowy, icy environment does NOT aid in applying discipline! Tomorrow will be better....tomorrow we begin our defrost of the last four days! We will actually get above freezing and the snow will most likely be gone, at least the most of it. Snow I don't mind, I LOVE. Ice...not so much. There is no love affair with the ice. NONE.
Anyways....been couped up in this house for four days with a 16 year old, a 13 year old, a soon-to-be 3 year old and my sweet little 9 month old who has been playing war with a fever. She wins some battles but the 'war' hasn't ended yet. BOO! Did I mention that tomorrow WILL be better!! LOL We woke up this morning and had FIVE inches of SNOW on the ground! YEAY!!!! So we bundled up and out we went for a much needed breath of fresh air! My Abigail was so much fun....we made a TON of snow angels, we marched (her new thing...marching behind her as she chants march, march, march like we are in a marching band or something~ no idea where she got this from), she threw a lot of snow at me, I chased her, she chased me...it was good times. Came in and started doing laundry and the next thing I know there is water ALL OVER the floor....and I mean ALL OVER. Thankfully it didn't get to the carpet...just the tile. I'm not going to get into that but I will say that it took a while to clean up! *sigh*
Breakfast! I actually ate a bit earlier today, around 9:30...had the same as yesterday. 1/2 c Oatmeal, 1/2 c milk, 1/2 c water & 1/4 c blueberries. It was really good~ again!
Don't really remember eating 'lunch'. I know I snacked a lot of the day when I wasn't really hungry and KNOWING I wasn't really hungry. It's a bad habit to break but with prayer and learning to control my will power (with God's help) I can get there. I'm only 4 days into this! Old habits die hard....ya know? :/ Plus with everyone being home from school and work my 'day' is really off.
Dinner was around 6ish and we had whole wheat spaghetti with ground beef in the sauce & french bread. It was a good dinner.....the bread was a little too good. ;) However, I did NOT stuff myself. I got up feeling satisfied....I was just satisfied with the one thing that doesn't go well with healthy eating and losing weight....CARBOHYDRATES! I'm praying that God will take the desire for those (and chocolate) away from me! :)
Not to sound like a broken record, but TOMORROW.WILL.BE.BETTER!
My very fitting verse for today:
Romans: 4:23
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
If I can just learn to trust in Him, rely on Him.......for everything...what GLORY awaits me!
Shelley, I am too familiar with the stuggle that accompanies the "Battle of the Bulge". Your blog is an inspiration to a long-time warrior in this fight! Some days it is a victory, other days a set-back! Thank God that He is the One who fights our battles (when we allow it)!
