NAMES OF GOD STUDY - Wk 2  

The God of Might (’El Shaddai)

• I still haven't started.  

THOUGHTS:

• I've read a number of things where healthy people do not drink ice cold things in the morning.  Often they drink room temp or warm water first thing.  So, each morning now, going to drink for the first thing 8 oz of room temp water with the ACV (apple cider vinegar).  
• Also having protein first thing helps me be satiated more throughout the day than if I had a muffin or some sort of pastry.  My body loves the protein, but sometimes I just get lazy.  Thankfully most mornings I do have my protein, which usually is in the form of eggs of some type.
• One of the things I love about the spring and summer is the abundance of fruit and prices come way down.  However, I do not enjoy the heat.  And I absolutely love the longer daylight hours.
• While driving to my annual eye appointment, I got to listen to some EFT as well as while I waited for the eye doctor.  Making good use of time.  I think doing the tapping for these past few topics, today and yesterday, it's uncovering some things I haven't really dealt with fully and some cravings have come back, like wanting chocolate, some sweets, and salty things like chips.  Not good, but this means I need to deal with these things and get rid of them, so I can keep moving forward. 
• Woke up with a headache and have had a headache all day, and some points worse than others.  Drinking water, going to use the tens unit on my back and ice down my upper back area, which is where I store stress mostly.
• I thought we would get my husband's ssn and dl updated this Spring break, but that's not going to happen.
• Good news and bad news from the eye doctor.  My eyes are in good health and my near sightedness has remained unchanged or nearly for about 7 yrs, maybe slightly better.  However, the doctor insisted I really need to get bifocals.  He's suggesting progressive transitional bifocals, which would look similar to regular glasses and no lines.  Transitional would allow my glasses to become sunglasses when I go in the sunlight.  However, the cost is too much for me and I will just opt for new progressive bifocals with clip ons.  No vision insurance and it's just too costly to do the transitionals now.  But, maybe later in the year?  That is on my wish list.
• Today is the last day of my 45th year and tomorrow I'll start the 46th year of my life.  I really didn't feel old until the eye doctor told me I really needed bifocals.  It really is hard to read the fine print and to have to use a magnifying glass.  But, I guess everyone will experience that when they hit their 40s.  So, that's not really bad news.  Just a fact of life and growing older.
• Time-Tec received my heartrate monitor, as I tracked it on UPS.  They were not happy when I spent nearly $18 shipping it back to them and they didn't want to pay for all of it.  I insisted that I wanted the full amount back because had they done the battery replacement correctly, I would not have had to spend the time or money to ship it back to them.  But, they said I would have to wait 2 weeks to get the money, which I honestly think is bogus, but I didn't want to argue with them.  They said tomorrow they will ship the watch back to me, which I'm guessing I won't get back until either Saturday or Monday.
