Alarming...

Well when my alarm went of this morning my first thought was why is my alarm going off so early on a Saturday!?! Then it hit me..it's Monday and I have to go to work! Man oh Man. But I really only have to work two more Monday's until my summer break. So I guess that's not too horrible. Next Monday is a Holiday and the day before school gets out I am talking off because of time I've earned throughout the school year. But you know it's a short weekend when on my first day of the week I think it's Saturday.

And tonight I did absolutely no packing at all. I cleaned up in the kitchen, took a bath, drank some root beer, and worked on a project of something I am making for my co-workers. So just in case they come and read this I'm not going to say what it is yet..but it's extremely cute!!

But this week I am going to make every effort to make it to bed at a decent time. And since it's after 10 I better get a move on it...

get it?

a move on it?

I crack myself up :)

Real life

Well I'm glad the first 9 days of the year were awesome. I have spent the next 14 days wishing for a redo button. That was a fast reality crash.

Due to unforeseen events my church closed last week. And my life has once again gone into a tailspin. I found out Tuesday of last week that the church was closing. I spent Wednesday evening packing up the church and Thursday moving it out of the building. Saturday night I tried out a different church. It wasn't bad. Just different.

But it's not what I was expecting to start out the year with. I wasn't expecting to be churchless 10 days into the new year. I wasn't expecting my Pastors to have to move away so that he can recover. I wasn't expecting to have to find a new church. I mean really. I was planning on moving in a year or so to a different place and going to a different church there. But I already know that church. I don't have to guess or church shop around for a church.

It hasn't fully sunk in yet. I love my Pastors. I truly want whats best for them and for their health. But I wasn't quite ready to fly out of the nest yet. Haha. I was pretty dang comfortable.

Which leads me to think that this just might not end up being a comfortable year :) And that's a little scary of a process to think.

It's like I said on facebook after it all happened. God I don't know what you are doing...but I know YOU. His plans are to prosper me, not harm me. His plans are to be right beside me, not hiding from me. His plans are to lead and guide me, not leave my hanging to my own devices.

And while I haven't made it to the gym, due to long nights and less sleep. I really just am trying to not make myself sick. I haven't let my eating go completely. I think today has been the worst day out of all of them. I have had way too much bread and milk. But for the most part I've still kept myself in check for the majority of the day. And that's at least something.

So I'm not even out of January yet, and I feel like I need to start over haha! I guess life just might not be going the way I thought it was. So here's to a new adventure!

Wednesday weigh in week 96

Well I knew that magic wasn't going to last forever LOL!. The scale was back up today. I was actually quite frustrated because each time I weighed myself it said something different. So I said forget it and went back to bed! Literally. I called in sick today. After something to do every day and night for the last two weeks my body just couldn't take it anymore. I have been feeling crappy for the last several days. And I just stayed home and rested today. I did finally get the scale to say the same thing twice so that's what I went with. It was nice to have nothing to do today, but I will be back at the grind tomorrow. One of these days I'm going to make it to the gym that I joined that I haven't gone to yet! Haha. I did notice that it hasn't come out of my account yet either...so at least I didn't lose out on any money ;) My goal is to go at least 3 times a week. It's only 21 a month. So that doesn't seem all that bad to start out with. Bare minimum I want to at least go and sit in the hot tub tomorrow night! That's part of the reason I joined the gym in the first place!

But for me? I'm back to bed. I never did nap today so I'm ready to actually go back to sleep...and hopefully this time my brain will shut off enough and let me do it!

Back troubles...

And 4 days into to my two week workout challenge....

I am sitting here with an ice pack on my back. This morning as I leaned in to get something out of the freezer and tried to stand up. Well I couldn't stand up. My back locked up and has been in pain since. I can't sit, I can hobble at most, and I can stand but it's uncomfortable. I hate how this seems to happen when I get serious about working out. I'm wondering if it's BECAUSE of some of the strength training workouts that I have just started doing. Maybe I'm doing them wrong? Or maybe it was the 38 "squats" I did in a minute yesterday at a work training that we were pretending to be like kids and see how long a minute was? We were sitting down and standing up from our chairs. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that was a squat. At any rate. I'm injured. 3 workouts and 4 days into my plan.

This wasn't my plan.I was telling my co-worker the whole list of things that I had to do today. the bank, the store, the post office, and the ups store. Not to mention the things I have to do the rest of the weekend.

Rest just wasn't in my plan. But maybe that's God's funny little way of telling me it is in my plans. I guess some of the other things will have to wait. Someone else might have to go after the bread. The ups and post office will have to wait until Monday. Unless I'm feeling amazingly better tomorrow.

Maybe it's time for that book...maybe it's time for that sermon...maybe it's time to rest...
