Wk 3, Day 6 (Sat, 10-Aug-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• Spending some time in Worship to God before I begin working.  Starting my day off with God really sets the tone of the day.  Dear Papa God, keep me focused and disciplined on all the things I need to do with an excellent attitude that honors YOU!  Let me be a blessing to my husband and kids, a ray of Sonlight to them!
• Am determined to get my husband's Immigration paperwork completed today.  I must be focused and disciplined.
• Was able to upload to my new 160 GB iPod a lot of stuff, but some things had errors and I'm not sure why.  I'll have to do this another time because that was not a part of my plans for today to spend hours figuring that out.  It's to do my sub jobs and get the Immigration stuff done.
• Going to also focus on not drinking any fluids (like water or anything) while I'm eating and not drinking anything until at least 30 min. after eating.  Drinking impedes the digestion process as well as possibly raising blood sugar levels, which I definitely don't want to do.  This is some I definitely need to focus on.  
• Chewing on my left side, where I got my root canal and crown hasn't been 100 percent.  I will do some EFT later this evening on this with Stacey Vornbrock's protocols.
• Two nights I got enough rest/sleep, which feels pretty awesome!
• I finally got some work done on my husband's Immigration stuff.  I have to add some financial stuff, then we sign the forms.  I've gathered all the documents we need to include in it, the checklist of stuff the lawyer told us about.  I hope to make copies on Monday, as well as get our passport photos then.  Then we will mail out and hope Immigration processes the stuff quickly!!!  Praise God I did not allow anything to distract me from getting this part done.  All the forms have been printed out.
• When I went to get my sub con work, found that they had given me too much work.  I doubt I'll be able to complete all of it before 3 pm Monday.  
• This was a day of relaxation mainly for my husband.  He'd been working hard on his consulting work and have taken the past 2-3 days off and hopefully will be getting back to the programming he needs to do.
• With all the greens that we eat, we all are having more bowel movements.  Good deal!
• I'm feeling way more wiped out than I thought I would be from the workout.

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, probiotic, MSM.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup) more room temp water unless during workouts, which that is iced cold.
• Did my workout.  Yay!  This was the 6th workout in 6 days.  It felt great!

SLEEP:

• 12:00 am - 7:00 am (7 hrs) - I wished I could've slept longer but I was no longer sleepy, so I guess that's all my body wanted.  Lots to do at home today.  

FOOD JOURNAL:
Breakfast Snack (8:30 am) - The other 1/4 of my dinner last night - the quesadilla the kids made for me.

Sorry I didn't realize this was blurry until I uploaded.  For a better pic, look at yesterday's dinner.

Lunch  (1:40 pm) - romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, red onion, cucumber, yellow grape tomatoes, avocado and homemade cilantro-lime dressing with some of the chicken tenders I made a few nights ago.  This was the last of it..  Also had a greens protein smoothie (spinach, ice, water, cinnamon, ground flaxseed, stevia, banana).  I split this with the kids who did their karate and workout also.

Daughter made this.  Very yummy.

The last of the chicken tenders from a few nights ago.  Yummy.

 Dinner (6:40 pm) - Brussel sprouts, sausage, bacon, onions, lots of garlic, shredded carrots for color, cayenne pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder  

We learned to use the chopper thing we got at Goodwill not too long again to dice/chop the brussel sprouts, as well as the onions.  This made the chopping go way faster.  Yay!  My husband did that.  I cut the meat, he did the veggies and cooked it.  I love cooking in the kitchen with my husband.

Dessert (8-9:45 am) - I had 3 oatmeal raisin cookies.  I've been wanting some for over a week.

Notes:  I messed up on some of my times for the different exercises because sometimes I would forget to start when I started the exercise, so there are some overlaps.  I was going to do 30 reps of each exercise, but once I got into the workout, I realized that was too much.  I couldn't wait for this workout to be done as it was a challenge.  When I'm in better shape, I can make it harder and do more than 1 round.
