Yay...a good day!

Mar 21, 2018

Today is going to be a GOOD day and the beginning of a BETTER journey going forward.  I came across this verse yesterday in one of my devotionals and it really made me think…...
 
A wise woman builds her house.
But a foolish woman tears hers down
with her own hands.
Proverbs 14:1
 
I saved it as a screensaver on my phone so I will see it often and hopefully keep me thinking about what I am putting into my body, a/k/a my house. I found a devotional that speaks about food struggles, different ways we think regarding food, etc and it has a 21-day challenge that goes with it on weight loss Gods Way.  I’m reading it and so far, it’s pretty interesting…it can’t hurt, right.  If I can work on and change the way I see food, think about food, etc then I should be able to beat this head hunger game that my brain loves to play with me. The day is young, it’s only ?1 p.m.? but I’m still doing and feeling great and am REALLY determined to make this work. I’m not even worried about going home after work today which is really a change.  I think some of that has to do with the fact that I really didn’t have the best night.  It all started at my doctors appt yesterday.  I had an EKG done so they could just make sure that my depression meds aren’t causing any interactions with my sleeping med.  She comes back in and said that everything looks good except she felt my heart rate was low.  It was 56 which may be a little low but I exercise and I’m not overweight anymore so it does tend to be lower so its average for me now.  LOL…never thought I’d hear it’s too low. She proceeds to tell me that she wants me to cut the dosage in ½ of my sleeping med and try to wean off it to see if that helps. Really?  I just increased my dose a month ago because I was still having a hard time to sleep. Melatonin doesn’t help me at all and we’ve tried other meds that either don’t work or they think it could counteract with my other med. Normally, I go to bed between ?7:30-9:00? and get up ?around 5:00 a.m.?  Last night I didn’t get to bed till almost ?11:30? cause I just wasn’t tired and was wide awake ?at 4:00?.  So much for weening off the sleeping med.  Ahhhhhh!  My plan for today is to get home from work, take a shower, eat my dinner, read my devotional and finish updating this, then head to bed. I’m too tired right now to worry about food, lol.

Well I finished my day and guess what… I’m under my calorie goal, yay! I got home from work and of course my husband and son were arguing which is nothing new but thank goodness they have Cub Scouts tonight so I can have a little bit of quiet time. I came in and grabbed a little container, which is about just under a quarter of a cup of my omega-3 trail mix and sat down to unwind for a few minutes. This was about 5:15. I put away my things from work afterwards and went to take a shower around 6 o’clock right after they left. By the time I got out of the shower, got dressed, cleaned up after myself did the dishes and then made my dinner I finally sat down to eat around 7:20ish. It’s almost 8 o’clock now and I’m exhausted so I’m not even thinking about eating anything. I’m going to finish writing up my thing here, read a little bit in my devotionals, make my tea, my nighttime tea that is, then I’m gonna head up to bed so hopefully I’ll be able to get some sleep tonight which I’m sure I can because I’m exhausted. Hope everyone else had as good of a day as I did.
