Day 1: Thoughts, Prayers and Cravings
OK, so I made it through my first day of competition eating plan and waking up at 5:25am to press play, Oh my goodness I don't know but I bet you can relate tell me I can't have something and I think about it all day long. I was not hungry, but my kids have left over Valentines hearts with chocolate candy in them I literally wanted to toss them out because I wanted them so badly, but honestly I didn't my mind thought I deserved just 1 right! Mind over Matter for sure.
My devotion today was focused on Solomon in Ecclesiastes 1:12 - 2:11 searching for more that he had, a man full of wisdom and treasures untold, anything He wanted he had except that one thing the thing that made everything else in his life feel empty and lonely. To look around and continually seek something you can't see but earn for greatly makes one live in that place of here but not here, my mind is reaching and thinking of more of the empty space that is inside I know who wants to fill it but I am still searching and I feel I need to seek more to be more and to do more I feel I was made for more. I guess my question is what will truly fill this space of more and will I be satisfied when I find that thing I'm looking for or is it really nothing and I should stop trying.
My prayer: Lord, I want to seek You in all things my desire is to understand and be thankful that everything is a blessing from You to show your love to me and as I continue to seek and search for something more my prayer is that I do not place my hope or future in my work, money, others, positions or my surroundings but I continually seek You and follow Your will that I will find true happiness in You.
Fitness: Today was ok it was a Plyo with weights day my legs hurt my head lightheaded but I made it through because I'm determined to push past excuses, for too long I just go through motions of most everything thinking of the next thing on the list. My goal is to focus on my muscles, my heart, my mind and truly see our cool God's creation is and how much I limited myself due to my thoughts and whispers of "I Can't"
Nutrition: I touched on this earlier, I thought it would be harder than it was I understood it was a mind over matter. When I saw something I would have normally grabbed and taken a bite or I drank more water and when I was hungry I ate my portioned containers. I felt good I felt energized all day and I was proud that not one thing was off even on day 1. I know I have 20 more days of this and it will test me but I also know this is help me CRAVE HIM more and the desire to grab things my body doesn't want nor need will be replaced with HIM. Cravings? No! Desires yes! we don't tell ourselves NO enough, do you agree?
I do like this idea of pushing past all of my excuses and limitations that I place on myself and I look forward to taking this one day at a day #21DFE
