Savoring

So today the book talked about one of my weaknesses--savoring food. Taking tiny bites and really paying attention to flavor, texture, and all that great stuff. It says that when you savor food, you usually don't end up wanting more of it (specifically talking about sweets). I was really proud of myself because yesterday, Angela made these chocolate chip brownie bars which looked bomb. I was eating my apples (sigh) and they were just staring in my face. I decided to have one, but I chose the smallest piece on there. Usually, I would have taken one of the large,middle pieces because those are my favorite. But I took the small, end piece and enjoyed it much more because 1. I felt like my way of thinking had changed and I made a good decisions and 2. I could actually enjoy it without feeling guilty.

My body has been really sore lately--part of it is my period which decided to come late last night. So of course my lower back...my whole back...is pretty achy. And my feet are achy as well. I'm thinking it's the whole never having a time to sit down at work thing haha. Which is great. I'm kinda glad I'm on my feet and working hard. I just gotta make sure I take care of them and make that massage appt!

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 'Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor' 'Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?' For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen." Romans 11:33-36

Romans 11 contains a lot of talk about Israel and being grafted in and things like that...which honestly, didn't interest me very much. I'm starting to feel less guilty when I don't "get" something from my Bible reading. In fact, I don't really feel guilty at all anymore. When I was younger it seemed like it was always my quest to FIND something and to HEAR something, but sometimes you don't. Sometimes it's just the dedication to the relationship that keeps it going...not the sparks or exciting moments. I did like the above verse. :)

Alrighty, I need to work out. They say working out makes your period/cramps feel better. I will test that theory today. Oh, no school tomorrow but I work at 7am. Ah. Adam wanted to see Avatar with me tonight, but I really want to go to bed early enough so that I can wake up and kick but on my workout. So we'll see what happens. I do get to take some teen girls shopping which will be f.u.n. ok, peace out.
