Project early to bed early to rise started out pretty darn awesome. . .I was so motivated by my thursday post that I actually woke up at 5 on Friday morning. .(which was three days BEFORE my challenge was supposed to start!) kicked some serious butt with Jillian Michaels for an hour, ate awesome. . did devotions. . it was sa weet. I was turbo powered all day long:)
Then came the weekend. .. an awesome time at the cabin where I swam, got my heart rate revved with some butterfly. . .there was a chip incident but that's cool.
Then this morning the official start date of my two week challenge, I calved. (I guess staying up till midnight reading for my 6 hour board meeting today kicked my 5 am wake up call in the chops:(
What a mental battle this is??!! Changing routines is h-a-r-d. I'm reading a book right now called "Who Switched Off My Brain" by Dr. Caroline Leaf cause that's what is feels like these days. . and i'm learning some super cool stuff about using thinking strategies and exercises to change the makeup and connections of the brain. .. it's crazy research. . .and the science community is dumbfounded and amazed. . of course what they are proving what the Bible has been saying for hundreds of years. . .renewing the mind is a Biblical principle. I love it when science comes up beside the Bible and says "Hey ya buddy old pal. . .don't I know you from somewhere?" Then the Bible is all like. .."ummm yeah. .. I've been trying to tell you that for ages dude;)"
Yup. . .judging by my Bible meets science commentary. . might be time to hit the hay. . .tomorrow is fresh. . .I'm not giving up. . it's all about chosing every day to make a better decision in every moment possible. I sucked wind . . but I'm hitting the floor and doing 50 pushups before bed and setting the alarm for 5 bells. .. giddy up:)
Jillian. . we have something to talk about. .
. 
so much about this makes me giggle. and i agree. : )
