New Week

Hola!
I looked back at what day I had last blogged, it feels like it was only a couple of days ago, but holy smokes-- it was a week ago! I just can't believe how insanely fast this week went by, especially since I had an incredible amount of work to do (I still do).
I still hate tracking. Like, with a passion. Almost more than I hate packing. And if you know me, that's a lot.
However, of the seven days, I tracked all but two. And that was yesterday and today.
In happier news, I did four Glorify sessions this week. I wasn't feeling the best Friday, so I didn't do it Friday but I did get up and do it Saturday. First off, I loved having it in my planner. It was visual every day. I couldn't cross it off if I didn't have to do it. I don't know why I haven't done this earlier. I mean, I plan things all the time. Second, I love calling working-out Glorify. It makes me more motivated to do it. Woo-hoo!
So I did both of my goals (almost)! Woo! This week, if I have time (maybe Friday-- we don't have school), I'm going to write a blog about my scale... It's been a long time coming and it sort of makes me frightened to write about it. But it's been inspired by another blogger, so we'll see how it all comes together. :)
Goals for this week!
1. Go to bed before 11 pm each night.
2. Eat vegetables or fruit before each meal.

I think that's enough for this week. I'm going to continue drinking water and doing Glorify. We will see where this week takes me!

Happy Holy Week! (That's sort of an oxymoron; oh well!)

Tracking

You guys, I really, really, really, really, really (words cannot describe how much) hate tracking food. It's not just the writing what I put in my mouth down, but it's everything about the concept. I hate having to remember to write food down. I hate having to have paper in plain sight to help me remember. I hate having to write down "ice cream" and "cookies." *sigh*
This has been a complaint about one of my goals. 15 days to make a habit? And I'm only on day two of tracking? Gag me with a spoon. hahah

In other news, the whole Glorify thing has been working awesome. Two days done. :)

Spring and Things

So. Blogging.

Life has just been incredible insane these past couple of weeks. The week before the last I had an awful week. As in, words cannot describe how down I was feeling and angry I was situations I could not change. Nevertheless, I am in a much better place now. :) Last week we had spring break. I went to a speech tournament at the beginning (I got sixth! Woo-hoo!). Then I went home. My family is moving, so over break I did a lot of cleaning, and then a lot of homework. I'm still not as ahead on my homework as I would like to be (it's going to be a lot until I graduate. Oofta.). And now I'm back at school. So that's that. Let's get down to business.

I decided that I needed to start planning my work-out times in my planner. As in physically writing the times down that I was going to work-out, because if I don't, exercise might not happen. I wrote it in for the week, and it seemed to go pretty okay today, so that's awesome. I also didn't want to just write "Work-Out" in my planner. I don't know, I guess it just made me a little uncomfortable. So I had to think of a way to plan it without specifically saying that I was going to break a sweat while losing my bum-ness. I decided to call it "Glorify." Why? Well, I'll tell you.

1 Corinthians 10:31 "For whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God."
Our bodies are temples, and I decided that it's about time that I started to treat mine like one. Every move we make, we do it for the glory of God. I think that by calling my work-out time "Glorify," it's reminding me that I am not just working out to get healthy, I am working out to build up my temple. To build up the place where the Holy Spirit dwells. It also helps to give me motivation when I know I'm doing something specifically for the Lord-- to glorify Him. He's the one that's given me this body, and He's the one that I need to keep my eyes on. I think I might even change the name of the blog to Glorify. Not tonight. But maybe sometime.

I will continue to set goals, because that helps me in major ways. So. Goals.
1. Do all of my Glorify sessions this week. (I have four written down, with a fifth one on Saturday that may or may not happen).
2. Track what I eat. (This one is so hard for me, so I'm going to keep it at two goals this week).

Thanks for reading and taking the time out of your day to support me. I love you all!
