Today has been one busy day. I feel like I have been running myself in circles trying to play catch up. This morning my son had a dentist apt. and that put me getting to work late which kept me behind all day. Of course any time I have to take my kids anywhere in the morning it always means they want to go out for breakfast. However, I have got to say that breakfast has become the easiest meal for me to say no to when we are eating on the run. It has been so long since I have let myself enjoy a biscuit from a fast food restaurant that I really don’t enjoy them anymore. Don’t get me wrong – I didn’t skip breakfast. I had already gotten up and prepared my oatmeal so I didn’t need a biscuit. I am glad neither of them wanted fries though. Some days I do still have a craving for them.
This week is the week that our school celebrates Teacher/Staff Appreciation week. Today they had breakfast. Since I was running late I texted a friend of mine and asked her to save me some fruit, yogurt and coffee. She was so sweet to save me some. That was my breakfast. I still had my oatmeal but I never found time to eat it today. I ended up taking it back home with me at lunch and I had that for lunch. That is how crazy busy my day has been. Today was not so bad with temptations but tomorrow and the rest of the week looks to be trouble. Tomorrow will be dessert day. They will be setting up all kinds of cakes, cookies, ice creams and other sweets in the cafeteria for all the staff to enjoy. I however will need to be prepared to just say no. Tuesday is not a day that I get as a cheat day. Also, Tuesday night is when we have our Made to Crave Bible study. I don’t think I want to go to that tomorrow night and share with them all the wonderful desserts I could not say no too. I guess that is a good thing that tomorrow is dessert day.
This Wed. and Thursday we have parents who will be fixing out lunch. I know that one day is a cook out day. Hamburgers, hot dogs, & chips – they are not on my diet. I am not sure what the other day is but I am sure it will involve some kinda of sandwich and a rich dessert with a side of chips or pasta. Don’t get me wrong. I think it is wonderful that they are doing all of this for us. Last year I would have been in heaven with all these daily treats. However, this year I have my sights on something better and that something better is a smaller me!
So today I did what I was supposed to do. I got up and did my Bible study. I didn't eat the biscuits that my children or my collages ate. I ate all the right foods and denied myself all the wrong one. I went to the gym and not only did my weight training but I also rode the bike for 30 minutes. It was not easy. There were some choices that were not to hard but all in all the day as a whole was difficult. Why? Because today I had to make the same old choices again. Sometimes it just gets old. Today it has just gotten old! However, I didn't give up I just pressed through it. I will go to bed annoyed with it all and hope to wake up with a better attitude about it all. The good thing - I did what I was supposed to. I didn't give up on myself just because I am in a mood. I have accepted my mood and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Thank you Lord for a successful day - a successful - busy - annoying - bad mood kind of day. Thank you that you don't give up on me when I have a bad mood kind of day. No matter what I do you still stick with me and give me a promise of hope. I need to be able to do the same thing that you do - and not give up on me either. I need to hold on to every promise of hope you give me regardless to my mood.
