What I Should be Doing but I'm Not

I should be finishing the laundry, washing dishes, and preparing for bed.  Instead, I'm reading and writing.  And before that, I was eating ice cream.  And before that, I was shopping.  What better way to console myself after an unsuccessful shopping trip than to have ice cream loaded with cookie dough?

I was less than enthused about the clothes I tried on.  Oh, they were cute enough.  Just not on me!  Had I stuck to my eating plan in the winter, I might have been happier with what I tried on.  But no, I rebelled.  And am still rebelling... hence the ice cream I had a little while ago.  I can totally relate to Paul when he said "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." (Romans 7:15).

I hate that I'm not more disciplined.  I hate that junk food is much cheaper than healthy food.  And I hate that I have to eat so little in order for the numbers on the scale to be lower.  Regular exercise has been not so regular lately, for various reasons.  It's been rainy and cold, and my gym routine was interrupted by my husbands work schedule and our Relay For Life.

Ok, so tomorrow is a new day.  I will motivate myself to get motivated!  Is that even possible???
