CMA: I Thought I was Reluctant Last Week {Cone of Shame}

This week did not go as I had hoped.  Progress was made in some areas, none in others, and some evaluating needs to be done.

My Eat Clean Goal: Intentional Eating

At home, this was a victory.  At school I am not sure what happened.  I don’t know if it was just habit of eating the lunch I brought before TEN A.M. or if I was actually hungry then, and then hungry again around Noon.  It may have been a hungry week.  It may have been just old habits.  I am not ready to abandon the intentional eating  (rather than counting and logging calories) method after one so-so week.

My Move More Goal: Exercise in some form three times

See- – - my problem is that I have ingrained myself to think of goals, and so far, the CMA goals haven’t made it to my radar.  I go through my goals for 3in30, realize that exercise isn’t on it, and allow my self to continue sitting on the couch.  And then it becomes Thursday morning, and I review my CMA goals . . . *facepalm*

My Refresh Daily Goal:

Still plugging away with the Bible studies. I have also added some scripture memorization with my son. It is for him, but I am obviously learning it along with him.  On Monday we started Romans 3:23. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.   He had it memorized by the time we left for school.  After a horrible day at school (for him) on Monday, and continued disrespectful behavior to us, last nigh I introduced Colossians 3:20. Children obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.  The change in him after we worked on memorizing it, and discussing it, and praying about it, was remarkable.    So now, in addition to my regular routine, I am using the resources from Tammy Wollner’s book, Keeping His Way Pure, and I am loving it.  (Today is the last day to enter to win a copy!)

The part that I was dreading:

When I really thought about the whole week (and the double lunches that happened more than once or twice) I really wasn’t too excited about stepping on the scale.   Last week, I weighed in 250.  This week, I am grateful to have stayed the same.

Something a little bit exciting:

If we are able to pay-off the loan on one of our cars, it will free up a nice chunk of money per month.  We are considering getting a membership to the YMCA here (which, unfortunately is the ONLY option) and checking in to see how much it would cost to have Stephen go to Jonathan’s daycare after school so that I would have time to work-out.  Maybe even start running again??   We will see!
