Body & Spirit Days 7-11

Day 7,8,9: Friday - Sunday October 7-9:  I pretty much fell off the wagon at this point.  Friday we were cleaning the house and getting ready to go to Kearney for a mini-vacation so I didn't take time to exercise or read.  We left as soon as the chores were done in the evening.  We did go swimming for about a half hour Friday night which probably counts of some sort of exercise :)  Saturday we swam for about 2 hours, shopped, bowled, played at the Big Apple arcade, and ate WAY TOO MUCH!!  We got home late Saturday night.  I woke up Sunday with a sore throat....ugh....  Sunday after church we didn't do much - played Wichita's new board game a couple times and worked on laundry.  Sunday night we did read three days worth of Engage the Word verses which took around a half hour.

Day 10: Monday October 10: I did a Biggest Loser full body exercise along with warm-up and cool down.  I read Engage the Word with the kids and Day 1 in my daily reading Bible that came in the mail today.  It is The Message//Remix:Pause.  My sore throat is getting increasingly worse.

Day 11:  Tuesday October 11:  My sore throat has worsened and moved into my chest.  It hurts like crazy to cough and my throat is full of stuff.  I did manage to do 2 miles of the Biggest Loser workout miles without dying so I guess I will survive.  I didn't read to the kids because I can hardly talk.  I didn't read to myself either :( 

So this whole thing is much harder than I thought it would be....  I want to be in shape and get skinny.... I want to be closer to God.... I want to be a better mom, wife, homemaker..... I want to be disciplined and organized.... but I really don't like doing the work that is required to accomplish them....  obviously I need to work on my will power and self-discipline..... something like my getting sick or going on vacation comes along and I have a hard time getting back to work.   I'm working on it. :)

I don't plan to work out today, because as awesome as Thera-Flu is, I know it can't be good to overwork my body when it is trying to heal.  If I feel bad enough to have to take medicine I need to be resting, but that is no excuse for not reading my Bible, so I will let you know how it goes.
