Today has been a mixed emotions kind of day. I always love Sunday. Sunday for me means going to church with my family. It means worshiping with some of my favorite people in the world. Today I had to work in the library so I didn’t get to spend as much time visiting with folks between 1st service and Sunday school. I did get a chance while in the library to eat my apples and yogurt. Then after church I took my kids to get some breakfast from Biscuitville and then came home. No Biscuitville for me. . . and I was fine with that. My sweet children even eat all their breakfast and cleaned up any proof of biscuits before I came back into the kitchen.
Then after I got home I fixed my breakfast and tried to get some things fixed on the computer. Needless to say all that did was make me frustrated which made me want to eat. Today – this is where the difficult part of my day began. I couldn’t get what I wanted to done because I couldn’t get it to work. I felt the need to eat and eat something salty and crunchy. However, I would not let myself give in to that. I got to say this is the first time in a week that my flesh reared its ugly head. I became one grumpy mama. I finally got up and fixed me a salad with salmon pieces on it and after that I decided there was only one cure for my grumpiness and that was a Sunday afternoon nap. However, I had already wasted a lot of my afternoon so I knew it wasn’t going to be a long one. When it was time to get up so I could head back to church I was still grumpy and still tired. I just decided to grab a bottle of water and head on to church.
After getting outside and driving I did get to feeling better. It kind of reminded me of how some people sooth a crying baby by taking them on a car ride. The more I drove the better I felt. I said to myself I am going to have to remember this the next time I need a pick me up. I will just have to get into the car and turn on some Third Day and open the sunroof and drive. Mental note to self – driving soothes the angry mama as much as the crying baby.
After choir my husband and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things we need to make all our meals for the week. My husband has complained about how much food I have bought this week and I couldn’t help but ask him how much money did he spend eating out? None! Enough said!
Well even through the ups and downs of my moods today it has been a successful day. I did not give in to my craving flesh. I am proud of that. I pushed through it and stuck to my plan.
Today my menu has been: apples, Greek yogurt, eggs, turkey breast, tomatoes, salad, salmon chunks, oranges, and fajita chicken tossed salad (no chips just salad) w/ salsa and fat free sour cream, Greek yogurt.
I am sad to say other than running around my kitchen preparing dinner and lunches for tomorrow I didn’t have any exercise today. However, it is the day of rest.
