So this week I got my tooth pulled on Tuesday and therefore
I was not able to work out on Wednesday or Thursday. But I did work out Monday,
Tuesday, Friday & Saturday. So I got 4 miles in this week and added more
reps to all the strength training. I am not hurting that bad (other than my
behind...ha ha) with adding the reps so I will add more this coming week. I
feel that I am doing a good job at keeping up with exercising and not giving
up. I used to hurt real bad one day because I overdid it and then I would just
stop because I didn't want to hurt that bad. So now I am taking it slow and steady
as to not overdo it and quit without any results.
I am still getting up at 4:30am and working out before I go
to work. I am trying to eat healthy and for the most part I do but sometimes I
eat a larger portion than I should. I have kept away from the chocolate other
than nutella which is so good!! Please keep praying for strength to wake up
this early and make it through my day, for strength to make the right food
choices and for safety as I exercise.
On the emotional front...
Wednesday was my 3 year wedding anniversary and I still can't
believe that Jimmy was not here to celebrate that with me. I did make it through
the day and that is another "first" that is over with...Thank God!! I
think I was able to let go of Jimmy a little bit more...not that I want to I
just know that I have to. I did change my relationship status on facebook which
was one of my goals and that was very hard but I wanted to make sure to keep
with my goal or I knew I would never do it. I feel that I am letting him go as my husband at this
point. This is hard but it part of the process of grieving. Please keep me in
your prayers that I continue to let go of him but not his memory. That I go
through this grieving process in a healthy manor.
On the Spiritual front...
I am reading the Bible everyday still and praying more. I
could do better on each of these fronts so please keep praying that I will take
the time to pray each and every day and to study His word each day as well. I
would also like to ask for prayer in knowing what the Lord has for me for the
next step in my life. I am sensing that He might not want me to stay in Houston
long term but I don't know where He is leading so please pray for clarity and
peace about where He would have me to go. I am also thinking about going back
to school for my masters in Social Work to ultimately be a therapist please
keep this in your prayers as well, which school to go to and also the money to
get the education.
On the Creative front...
Today I turned a regular notebook into a Scripture memory
verse notebook that looks pretty. I made this for a friend to encourage them to
memorize Scripture. I also came up with an idea for another prayer journal that
I will also give to another friend. I am not pushing the card making right now
but I do have a goal set for this if I do not feel like it before and that goal
is after I get back from my vacation in July. I think that maybe what I will do
is make Jimmy a birthday card when I get back from vacation...the last card I
made was for his casket and I have had a very hard time making them again so
maybe if I make one for his birthday it will be full circle and with over a
year past it will be less painful. Praying for the healing in that area in
order for me to be able to create cards again!
