Melona week 2-

Well, Ladies, I am once again astounded by your self-control and commitment to be a better you! Keep up the good work!

So, I had a pretty good week this week mentally, but physically I sabotaged myself quite a bit. I just didn't feel like changing what I was doing. SO, I rebelled a little. Friday, I was feeling a little more motivated, but we celebrated our 10 year anniversary and what better way to celebrate than w/ good food!

SO, Grrr! Still no weight loss and still completely my fault! Well, mostly. I did have a visitor this morning, so maybe next week will be better.

I have really started analyzing my habits this week though. I have come up w/ a few things that I feel are really hindering my progress.

1. I have been neglecting the things in my life to keep myself spiritually fit.

2. I need more sleep. Staying up until 2 am every morning w/ my SIL to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be fun, but is not a necessity. I'm not 20 anymore & can't sleep until 10. I still have to get up at 7 and be Mom.

3. I am mentally exhausted, physically pooped and frankly, a little depressed since the move.

I feel that these 3 have really been impeding my progress to weight loss. Because of these things, I just don't have the will power or the even a great desire to keep my weekly commitments. I just don't care enough about myself lately. SO, I am starting a few new goals this week which I am hoping will help me to keep the other commitments I have made.

1. Daily scripture study and prayer... The Lord cares about all my righteous desires, I will go to him for help w/ to keep my weight loss commitments. I truly believe he wants me to be healthy.

2. Go to sleep by 12 am every night. (I will eventually scale this back to 10:30 or 11, but midnight seems a good place to start... Buffy may not be a necessity, but I really enjoy the time to bond w/ my SIL).

3. Take a shower EVERY DAY and get out of the house w/ or w/out the kids at least 3x this week (in addition to going to church).

4. Eat less, move more :)
