I really wanted to start this new exercise program recently. It's intense, but I would also get intense results. I really wanted to do it. But everything I want to do hubby always wants to do it too and it drives me crazy. I have been "sneaking" and doing a few of the exercises in my room here in the mornings or if he is gone I will take a break and do a few. It sounds strange to say it, but I don't feel I have any real support. Oh yes, hubby supports me exercising, don't get me wrong. But don't TELL me to go exercise. Don't keep asking me if I have exercised today, and don't keep asking me what I did. That annoys me.
But I can walk, and I did get Sheeba out yesterday and after I finish this, I will get dressed and try to get her out for another walk. Don't have time to do a long walk because I start work at 7AM. With being off work 4 days, yesterday was really busy and I was worn out. Still didn't get everything done because I have to depend on others to give me the information I need, or need to work with on scheduling appointments and they don't get back with me. UGH. Even the President's Executive Assistant put me off last night because she had to go pick up her kids and will get back with me this morning on a critical meeting. But what can I do. I wait until this morning when she gets the time to get with me.
After work yesterday we took a quick trip to my youngest son's house to see our grandson and great-granddaughter who is in town for a few days. The baby is getting so big. Hubby gave the grandson his old fitbit so now we have another one to add to our challenges. I love challenging the grandchildren - and trying to keep up with them! Came home and cooked a new recipe - it was different, but it was good. Trying to stick to this new eating routine and eat better.
But come 8PM I was already yawning and wearing out. Finally about 8:30PM I think it was we went to bed. I woke a couple times during the night but slept well, I think, but when it was time to get up this morning, I just didn't want to get up. It was after 4AM before I got up and curled up in my chair to do my quiet time. I've gotten to where I bundle up with my prayer shawl and my blanket and just recline back in the chair and close my eyes until I feel totally awake (i.e., mind won't shut off) and then I can do my quiet time.
Today's quiet time had to do with Proverbs 1:1-7. Check it out. Yes, it applied to me. Yes, when I read the devotional that went with it, yes, I could relate. I am one who clutters things. My desk is not cleaned off. I am not, in my opinion, organized, yet my boss and others at work tell me I am. I certainly don't know where they get that. But I try to be. But I'm not. Sometimes I just don't want to put things away and other times I can't stand it setting out.
Our God is not a disorganized God, and He does not like chaos. Sometimes I feel like my life is a chaos, but most of it is my own doing. I can't blame God for it. It is the result of choices I have made, choices I make, and choices I will make, and choices made for me. God is orderly and precise. He arranges things perfectly. It's us humans who make a mess of things.
It's nearly 6AM and by the time I get dressed it will be light enough to take Sheeba for her walk so need to shut up and get moving. This is a short work week - 4 days - and we've only gotten through one day of it. Seems like it has been a month. Sigh. Oh yeah - I have to stop early and get blood drawn today too. Oh joy. That means I don't eat all day. At least all I have had is coffee thus far. Crossing fingers my results will be good.
Have a great day - stay organized and focused. :-) Got to get started on my steps for today!
Blessings!
