Hump Day

Nothing exciting going on. Work as usual. I had to tweak my food a bit yesterday. Took my daughter to her doctors appt in the am, forgot my food at home, could only run out for a second to grab food since I didn't get here until 10:30. I ended the day with not as much protein as I would like to have had. Since I didn't have any for lunch. My grocery store has some amazingly large strawberries. My kids LOVE them, I don't. But I am trying. I figure the more I eat the stuff I don't like, maybe eventually I will like it? Time will tell!

Tonight is life grp. We are studying Esther. One of my favorite books in the bible. Last night I finished re-reading Esther and then moved onto Job. Very sad but very intense book. I hope to finish tonight. I find that I read fast, don't retain as much as I could if I read slow, but cant seem to slow down. So I find myself re-reading things a lot. Each time I read something again I seem to get something I didn't the first time.

A few things I have noticed since giving up TV.

1. The only night it was REALLY bothering me was a night that was going crappy to begin with. I just wanted to veg out and do something mindless. I went to bed mad.
2. I am not snacking at night or even thinking about it.
3. I feel good about sticking with something longer than 5 minutes LOL
4. I am getting a bunch of stuff accomplished that I have been putting off. There is plenty to do, but hoping in the next 40 days, I will be much more organized!

Tonight I will Shred. Made a commitment to do it for the actual 30 days you are supposed to. Last night started off with a half attempt (14 mins) since my daughter woke up with hurting ears.

Your doing it and doing it well. I'm am pretty sure my guys would die without TV, at least in the winter time. Summer time I don't think that thing is on more then an hour a day. The Shred, oh my does that hurt. Once I'm done with the gym I will go back to doing that and my walking outside.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care and have and awesome and blessed afternoon.

Way to go! Isn't it a nice feeling (emotional - obviously not physical!!) to finish something you start? That is one of the reasons that I committed to Allan's challenge. I needed to finish this once and for all. Thanks for joinging the 30day shred with me. Looking forward to it tonight. I cannot do the shred when my daughter is sleeping because its too loud with the jumping and stuff right outside her bedroom - and I can't move the tv as it is mounted to the wall.
