And the honeymoon is over...!

Well, it's been three full weeks of working out. Today I rolled over and made an obscene gesture to my alarm clock. That was particulary unfortunate because it's set to the Christian radio station... Does inadvertantly flicking off the Christian radio station have any bearing on my relationship with God????

Then a wonderful thought came to...a day off! Yes! I've read that it's a good idea to take one day off a week. Brilliant idea, whomever came up with that one! But then the guilt set in. Rita, you'll lose your momentum. You'll eat all day. You'll gain 10 pounds. As the day wore on, I started to realize that those fears are just that...fears. We can be controlled by them or we can take a rational approach - a day off is good for muscles. Eating a little more one day is just that - one day. Can I tell you how freeing that is? Just to know that it's ok. Getting that straight in my head (thank you, Holy Spirit!) made me want to work out tomorrow even more! So I'll be up and at the gym at 7 for an hour bike or so and then I've managed to convince a friend to hike up at the Delaware Water Gap with me. Now I just need to convince myself! LOL

Another week and it will be four full weeks of working out and eating healthy and going to bed early. They say habits take 6 weeks to form. I'll let you know.

Thanks to family and friends for prayers and funny sister poems!
