October 26, 2008

Well I just had to go back and finish yesterday... but its cool lol... I had an amazing day yesterday for so many reasons. I spent the whole day with my best friend with whom, in the last week or so, I have been able to work through a whole lot... I had such insanely incorrect thoughts and perceptions in my head about what she thought about me, that she would judge me, and I had been such a terrible friend myself. Such a terrible friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is just the beginning. I have to work my way backwards and make some things right with some other people as well.

Here's to a new journey of sorts.

A quote from todays devotional: "Salvation is the miracle of a moment; growth is the labor of a lifetime."

I love these... I encourage anyone who reads this to check it out http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb.shtml

There's a passage from the Bible and a few short paragraphs about it... I think they're really down-to-Earth and REAL about what being a Christian is all about. That's part of what I have to work out with some people. I have been giving a very bad impression of what being a Christian is about... in my struggles I have complained about certain Christians, claiming that they were judging me, when they weren't at all. I've complained to the wrong people. My perceptions on things were completely askew. Completely. I was the one who was judging. I didn't feel good about myself; I was the one with the issues, and somehow, without even realizing it, without making a conscious decision about it, I decided to make my problem and my issues THEIR problem and THEIR issues. I was the one who wasn't being a good friend. IT WAS ME the whole time!

So I have to set things straight with them and with myself. I closed the door to them for a while and made completely and utterly false assumptions about them while that door was closed. I then spread those assumptions to other people to get them to be on my side. In reality, I had only convinced myself in my head that those assumptions were true, and I twisted every word people said to me to be against me to use as evidence in support those false assumptions.

MAN do I have issues. I know what I need to do, now, though.


Today's Workouts:
Women's Health Ultimate Fat Burn w/ 5 lb weights during the intervals. It was a LOT easier than I remember! I must be getting stronger :-) YES!

+ the 2 mile power walk from the new Walk Away Your Hips and Thighs dvd... I was not impressed... I used 3 lb weights for the first part, then went to 1 lb, then took them all off cuz I am pretty tired (no doubt from the crap I ate yesterday!!)

I plan to get in the 20 minutes legwork later.

Breakfast:
1 banana before workout, 1 apple mid-workout...
later 1 cup black beans, 3/4 cup rice, a pinch of shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and some chopped cilantro.

Lunch:
one low-fat/low-cal hot dog, with chopped onion, ketchup and mustard.

Dinner:
the same thing I had for breakfast. it is so good! And with so many different colors in the bowl, its sooo pretty, too

Dessert/snacks:
1 vanilla ice cream after lunch, 1 stick Extra Dark chocolate after dinner

Water:
done good

Daily Vitamins:

Nightly Vitamins:
