Wow, I've used this blog to give myself accountability and encourage myself to stick to my goals. I didn't really think all my loved ones would hold my nose to it, and follow up with my to make sure I'm going through with things!
Yes, you may notice that Day 9 - 11 are mysteriously missing. I think you can guess what happened. I fell off the wagon. Or is it that I'm back on the wagon? Not really sure how that works. I'm either back on the wagon of Laziness, or I fell off the wagon of Good Habits. You decide.
All I know is that this routine I'm working on is so easy to grasp in theory, but so difficult in application. Especially with a schedule like mine. Not that there is any excuse. But working late nights and early mornings has really strengthened my self-justification of certain bad habits. I feel I have to eat out, for instance, because I'm on the run and traveling every day. But in actuality, I could still make better food choices regardless. Or giving in to my Dr. Pepper monster just because I'm so tired (yes, I get that if I kicked the habit I wouldn't be as tired from all the sugar crashes, so don't try to 'educate' me).
Anyway, as you can tell, this isn't a happy blog about how much of a difference I can feel from all these changes. Mostly, this week, I feel I've taken on a few too many changes at once, and my body revolted against all of them!
Happy blogging. Maybe tomorrow, I'll sacrifice my Dr. Pepper day, resist swearing altogether, go to bed early, and get up and study. Then I'll pop a Prozac and write something positive!

You are too cute. I had an off the wagon moment last night. There is too much to do and too much to want to be in this life. I like the spirit of this blog though - you do the little things (as much as you can) because you know that the little things eventually work out to be big. That's where the hope for change can kick in. God has given us that hope. It's a comforting thought (that the little things you are doing aren't in vain) as you try to make a difference in your own life and really in the lives of other people. Pretty soon you won't be doing these things because you have to write about it on your blog - but because you have a new desire to serve God and his children. Pretty cool story I'd say. Want to go to lunch sometime?
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile. It's good to hear I'm not the only one who finds the process personal perfection overwhelming. :) You of course, are making a very specific effort, whereas most people don't even try. Keep trying.
