NAMES OF GOD STUDY - Wk 2  

The God of Might (’El Shaddai)

• I still haven't started.  

THOUGHTS:

• My husband has had these awful cold sores in his mouth.  I've told him a simple and cost effective treatment that has repeatedly worked for the kids and I is to gargle with salt water.  He could speed up recovery by a week.  He's stubborn and said if a doctor didn't say he, he's not doing it, so he gets to suffer for days now.  He also refuses to go to the doctor.
• Really bummed when I went to put on my Polar Heartrate monitor and it was dead.  I called Time-Tec when they opened.  Thankfully the time zone change now makes CA time the same as ours.  They are paying for shipping, and just as well.  I went to the UPS store and it was expensive for ground with insurance - about $17 with $3 of it being the box.  They should receive it by end of Wednesday.  I guess I could've driven a few miles more to the post office and it probably would have been $5.  So, now another week without my heartrate monitor.  Will just do yoga stuff.
• The kids are balking at drinking the apple cider vinegar, especially our daughter.  But, it's good for them and I think a lot easier to drink 2 tsps in 8 oz water than consume the garlic.  Each thing that I have them do is good for them for different reasons.
• Yesterday and today my husband tried to tempt me with sour cream potato chips, which I love, but since doing the EFT, I have zero desire to eat the chips.  Earlier today, the 1-2 hrs before dinner, that would have been a really good time to chow on chips, but I kept busy doing my work and waited until dinner time to eat real food.  As he's eating now at 9:30 pm, I have no desire for it.  Also, taking the ACV (apple cider vinegar) helps, too.
• My eating was good today and I didn't have to resist not eating any junk.  We have some cookies, chocolates, candies, and chips at home, but I had zero desire, which is really good.  I hope to daily have time to do some EFT to help here.  It feels great to not have these uncontrollable cravings.  Little by little.
• My husband has gotten quite a few calls from Indian technical recruiters and I'm usually the one answering the phone.  Honestly, I have a super hard time understanding what they are saying on the phone, like really hard time and I know if I can't understand, my husband won't be able to understand them.  Anyway, it seems like they don't really help and all they are doing is collecting resumes and information but not doing anything.  He's talked to more recruiters today locally, like phone interviews.
