My tutoring has started up again after the Christmas break, as has all the girls' home education groups, leaving me little time at home for everything I need to do, including exercise. It's now Wednesday, and I for the third day in a row I have no managed to BodyGroove, as I have not had 30min spare. Technically, that is a slight lie, because I could have tried to wake up earlier, or stay up later, in order to fit it in, but I am someone who needs a lot of sleep. But, I'm not giving up on it. I do enjoy it, I have noticed it working my muscles and I am losing weight. I just need to squeeze a bit more out of my day.
I am eating well at the moment though. The 2B Mindset is firmly implanted in my brain. I am easily drinking my 90oz of water daily, and for the past 3 days I have had "mix and match" salad for lunch, from the prep I did at the weekend. I have discovered I didn't prep enough, as I ate the last of the cut cucumber and pepper today, and ate the last of the hummus. I still have portions of vegetables that I can use for the remainder of the week, and some couscous left, but when I meal plan this weekend coming, I will need to prep even more food.
So far, I have managed to keep on top of the Bible readings - I'm aiming for 50 chapters a week. We had our first meet on Tuesday, and we discussed the verses that spoke to us, and spent some time praying for each other. Even though we're going at a much faster rate than I anticipated, I think I will get a lot out of the next 6 months. I had planned to use my study Bible for the readthrough, but I find that I do most of the reading when I am taking my younger daughter to bed (we need to stay with her until she is asleep). So, I'm reading the Bible on my phone, highlighting the verses there, and then going through my actual Bible to copy up my highlights. Only on the second week of the year, but it's working so far.
I'm also reading less than I would usually, as a combination of not having to wait for my children all the time (some days I leave them at dancing or gymnastics whilst I do other things), or because I'm using waiting time to do something else, like writing right now! I do have 3 books on the go, though: 1 Christian inspirational, 1 non-fiction, and 1 fiction, so I haven't stopped reading altogether - perish the thought! - just getting through books a bit slower than usual. That said, I am starting to really get into the fiction book I'm reading, so I may end up giving up a few hours sleep for that.
Note to self:
If I can give up sleep for reading, I can give up sleep for exercise.
I am important and I am worth it!
