Wk 8, Day 3 (Wed, 11-Sep-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• I was doing EFT protocols by Stacey Vornbrock regarding my knee and soreness.  I was already tired before I started, but I wasn't able to do the EFT for very long because I just had to sleep.  Maybe I got in 10 min. of EFT before bed.
• My legs, specially calves are super sore.  My abs, back, upper arms are also sore, but not awfully.  When I get this sore, I don't feel like doing anything.
• Very behind on my sub con work.  
• I've been noticing when I eat more in the evening or too many meals a day (including snacks), my weight goes up.  Uggh.  Just a few days ago I was at my all time low for the past 6+ years and now it's inching back up.  I know, I've eaten McDonald's too many times, or even at all.
• I'm really enjoying my time with the Lord in the morning, time to pray, time in His Word, time to worship.  God is so good.  Setting my mind on Jesus and letting Him be Lord of my life.
• Enjoying time with my husband and children outdoors.  
• My husband and I are learning how to communicate better with each other.  Both of us were emotional during different parts of the day.  I was very emotional with our son (angry) and it took quite awhile to calm me down.  My husband was emotional (frustrated) with me because of how I said something, which he misunderstood my intent.  All is good.
• I really love popcorn and wanted some in the evening, but resisted.  Thank you God.

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, MSM.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup).  
• Walked to help with soreness in the morning.
• Walked in the evening with my family.

Notes:   It was in the upper 70s when I walked this morning and I was sweating as I walked.  My husband was at home asleep and it was really nice to walk alone, just God, nature and me, and the few people exercising at the park.  I loved it and it had been quite awhile since I did this alone.  Had my iPod on listening to Katie Souza.  It was a great time for me to pray to the Lord as I walked, as well as cultivate an Opened Heaven and for God's Glory to come upon me, as I interceded for my marriage, my family, our finances and health.
