Day 086: (Heavily Modified) Makers Diet - Day 01

If you've been paying attention to my facebook wall, you'll notice that I've been walking at least a mile everyday for a few days now. I plan to do so everyday, as well as pick up doing pilates again. If all goes well, I'll be on day one of that today.

You'll notice the title of today's entry says that I'm doing what I'm calling the (Heavily Modified) Maker's Diet. It's modified in the sense that I'm doing this on a budget. No outrageously priced cheese just because it has "organic" written on the package. No fluoride free toothpaste. No free range chicken. Otherwise, it's the Maker's Diet that many of you are already familiar with.

The next six weeks are going to suck.

Day 073

In an attempt to make this much more realistic, I'm going to scale back my updates to just one a week. I think that the thought of doing this daily is a little overwhelming ans is contributing to why I don't keep up with this more often. Start expecting updates on Friday or Saturday every week.

I'm in Ephesians now. Most of this habit building. To be honest, I feel so drained in other areas of my life that my Bible reading usually amounts to me merely doing the action. I try not to beat myself though. I am improving in this area, even if it's slow. Baby steps.

The exercising has officially fallen off of a cliff. I have many excuses: cold weather, a lot of over time, spending time with Caspian and Melissa. None of these are good excuses, however. The weather is supposed to warm up this weekend. This should get me outside a lot more.

I've started playing words with friends, which has been a nice substitute for something a little more meaty (and pricey) like Brain Age. Look me up if you want to play. PattyCakes1984.

Thanks for checking up on me and for all of your prayers.
