Yesterday I woke up after sleeping in a bit and noticed that it was bright and sunny outside! YEAH!! I took a quick shower and headed downstairs to feel how warm it was. I stepped outside and the sun felt amazing! I decided that I would take a little time to myself to enjoy laying out and soaking up some rays. I put on my suit, put out my reclining chair, grabbed a few towels, got a drink and took a book outside and settled in. Less than 5 minutes outside, the sun decided that was enough for me. :(
This is what I got instead of sun
After shivering for several minutes trying to wait for the clouds to pass, I went inside and then found out why I was so cold...
BRRRRRR!!! (At least for laying out!)
Back inside I went to relax instead. I opted to spend my time watching movie trailers on Apple TV. I LOVE movie trailers - I get upset when I miss them because I am late to a movie and am a little disappointed when they are finished so the main showing can begin. There are some good movies coming and some strange ones!
Our church had their fall kick off for Jr. High ministries so we went a little early and when we entered the main sanctuary, I felt like I was entering a tree nursery!!
I LOVE our church and thrive on going and growing each week :) So much so that I was back again this morning to volunteer at the kids welcome desk.
As I write this, I am less than an hour away from September 10th - my 40th birthday! To me, age is truly a number but as the minutes tick, I am struck that this number is a pretty big one! I had such high expectations of what I wanted to be like when I turned 40 that I am not going to hit, but I have now changed my resolve to make 40 my year! That weight I have been fighting with - I will win! My priorities on faith and family - they will take top marks! Making time for myself to improve (work out, meditate) - I have to do it!
But since I had one last day...
My husband took the family out to dinner since my birthday falls on a Monday :( My daughter has a volleyball game and Monday in our house is usually a packed day anyway. So I ate far too much!!! Not on purpose, but for some reason, even though I didn't want to keep eating, I did! UGH!!! We had mexican food for dinner and then Graeter's ice cream for dessert. I opted for the S'Mores sundae and honestly felt sick after about 10 bites! I never get a sundae and this one was loaded - chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream, marshmallow, hot fudge, waffle cone pieces and whipped cream! I came home with a bit of a belly ache and even threw 1/2 of it away. I figured that since that was kinda my birthday dinner I may as well do it up because the year of 40 and getting fabulous starts tomorrow!
Fall kick off - back to school, sweatshirts, a new season for me as I turn 40 and a kick off of really putting time into improving myself. I have "tried" to lose these hateful pounds that I have battled for 2 years but if I were truly being honest, I haven't been as diligent as I need to be. So now the kick off has begun! I will do what is needed as I have now put it out there :) Stay tuned to see how my body and mindset take shape.....
