Day 6 is going well so far, but it’s only 11am.

Yesterday was mostly a good day as far as my goals go. I made prayer and Bible reading more of a priority.  I didn’t overeat (although I didn’t eat extremely healthy – yet again).  Still am not where I want to be in how I treat Marie though. It’s been difficult lately because we’ve been missing some alone time since the past couple of weeks have been pretty busy.  I definitely notice a difference in our relationship when we don’t make that time a priority. I’m probably more guilty of it than she is.  After tonight, the rest of this week is fairly open though, so it will definitely be more of a focus for us both.

Although I didn’t go “exercise” yesterday, I’m claiming at least 30 minutes of exercise.  Our yard is about 2/3 of an acre, and it usually takes a little over 3 hours to push mow our front and back yard total.  I did it in less than 2 and a half last night, and when I was done, I felt like I had just run a marathon.  So I’m counting that as exercise. My heart rate was definitely up, that’s for sure!

Each day is becoming a little easier to meet my goals.  I know by the end of the 40 days it will be even easier.  I’m looking forward to looking back over this time and seeing the improvements in my health, my relationships with God and my wife, and my priorities.
