Well, I woke up early enough to go to my exercise class and I had every intention of going. I made Jeff his lunch for work this morning, lettuce wrap sandwiches with ham and cheese. We chatted while I drank a cup of coffee and he ate his omelet. Jeff is on a low carb diet and he is doing fantastic he is down 20 pounds. I on the other hand struggle with my weight, I'm up I'm down, I still keep plugging away at it, I'll never give up. I am a skinny woman trapped in a heavy body dying to get out. We prayed together like we always do every morning before we start our day. It's nothing fancy, no long drawn out words, just from the heart. If you have never have done this with your spouse, I would highly, highly recommend it. It really will show you both what's on your spouse's heart and mind. It's one of those intimate moments you share with only your spouse, just the two of you taking to God, from the heart. To start your day off this way will only draw you closer to each other and to God. Anyway, I saw Jeff off to work, and I went on the computer, intending to only going on for 10 minutes which turned into 25 minutes. Now I was running late, I threw on my work out cloths took a look in the mirror and realized, I could not leave the house without some kind of makeup on, I looked scary! So, I put some paint on my face, struggled to find my sneaker, got my tote bag together and tried to find my Zumba Sticks. I could not find them, I looked everywhere. I was darn sure not leaving the house without my sticks, today would be the first day I was going to be able to use them. Well, now I am officially late for class. I looked for them in the car, under the seats nope not there, back into the house, living room check, dinning room check, kitchen, check, bedroom check, all my tote bags check, heck, where can they be? I'm not leaving until I find those boogers! Back to the bedroom, closet there they are on the floor under some of my shoes, I grab them and off I go. I'm driving down the road now here comes the tricky part; my mind starts working at talking myself out of going. " DeeDee why are you going you are now 25 minutes late, you are going to be 35 minutes late by the time you get there?" I say to myself, "well a 30 minute workout is better than no work out." Yeah, that's right, I'm still driving toward the class then I look down at my gas gauge and realize I have less than a quarter tank of gas and I am thinking shoot, I need to make this gas last until Monday. Jeff and I are going over to Margaret and Joe's house for dinner tonight and we will be going to church tomorrow. "How can I make this gas last for all these trips, I can't." Now this is the point where I turn my car around. We are on a very tight budget and we really don't have any extra money right at this moment to put in more gas. I say to myself, "I will just do my work out at home." I will let you know how that works out! I decided to be really good for breakfast and I made myself a fresh pineapple and blueberry Greek Yogurt Parfait! Yummy!
