Day 6

                    We first make our habits, then our habits make us!

 

I have that on my laptop as my wallpaper.  It is so very true.  I am feeling really good about my challenge.  It's becoming easier by the day.  My cravings are gone as are my bloating and fatigue.  Yay me!

Here are today's stats-

1.  Read the Daily Proclamation aloud each morning and night. done- Really trying to slow down in the morning and read every word. Done

2. Compliment someone each day and say nothing negative about anyone.   I had to compliment two people today due to missing yesterday.  I complimented a gal at Kroger tonight- she had an adorable purse!  I then complimented a gal at the gas station. I told her it may seem like she has a thankless job but without her, we couldn't go anywhere.  I told her how much I appreciate her!  She seemed shocked I would say that.  We need to say these things more!

3. Stop eating BEFORE you are full - no problem- Follow the special body cleansing program- I am eating a vegan diet. I am only allowed to steam my food. No cooking on the stove or microwave.    Today I did well-  I had a smoothie for breakfast.  I just mix a bunch of fresh and frozen fruit with water- delicious!!  For lunch, I steamed a veggie burger and veggies.  I am allowed a veggie burger a day as long as it has less then 280mg sodium.  I've been snacking on fruit and veggies all afternoon so I didn't officially eat anything for dinner. 

4. Do not get angry, curse or complain. Do not gossip about anyone- I did NOT curse today!!  Yay!!!! 

5. Give someone something material each day.- I wasn't going to go into detail about the gifts but I have changed my mind on that.  Hey it's my blog, I can  change my mind anytime....so anyway....I want to show how easy it is to make someones day with so little!  After I left Kroger tonight, I took a honey crisp apple to the gal at the gas station. I didn't know her and felt a little nervous before going in.  I was afraid she would think I was some weirdo.  (she prolly still did) I explained to her that I am doing a this challenge and I had something for her.  She was the one I complimented in #2 also.  I told her I used to work at a gas station and I know most of the time there is nothing healthy to eat there.  I gave her the apple.  She couldn't stop smiling!  She kept telling me how sweet and thoughtful that was.  She was outside doing the trash when I pulled up.  I remember doing that in the freezing cold.  It sucks!  That's why I told her how much we appreciate her.  Working at a gas station is a thankless job.  Everyone gets mad at YOU because of the gas prices but guess what!?  Everyone pays the same price!  Gas station employees don't get cheaper gas.  Just keep that in mind next time you grumble as you hand your money over to the clerk.  I felt great after leaving!  It made me think that I should give more people that I don't know gifts.  I had to give two gifts today since I missed yesterday.  I gave my step son's girlfriend a satin hands set from Mary Kay.  She wasn't nearly as excited as the girl with the apple but I think I would dig the apple more too.  It's all good.
 
6. Pray and read scripture for your age in minutes daily.- I pray for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 minutes at night. I also listen to an audio bible for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 at night.  My battery was dead when I got in the car as I was leaving Kroger.  I spend the time while I was waiting for a jump to listen to my audio bible.  I still listened to it when I got ready for bed.  I got a little extra in tonight, not because I had to but because I wanted to.  Bonus!

7. Drink half my weight in ounces of water.- done I have to drink 72 ounces of water. done!

8. If you are doing any of these stop. Stop flirting, having affairs, committing fornication, looking at pornography, or communicating with a person who is not your spouse.  Nope

9.  Wash my face before bed.  This isn't part of the challenge but I made it part.  I need to get back into the habit!  Done!
