... And on to Exercise

Well, I must say my last week of focusing on improving my conversation with my Father in Heaven has certainly improved my whole person. I've noticed that I am not angry all the time. (although I do still struggle on occasion) And, my mind is filled with Hymns. I find myself humming Hymns that are relevant for whatever I'm struggling with all the time. I wake up singing There is Sunshine In My Soul almost every day. It is incredible how personally my Lord knows me... music is the absolute best way to affect my spirit.

 The other day I said a prayer in the morning to have some help to remember all I needed to do and to be aware of what was most important; since I generally can't accomplish much in a day. That morning I decided to steam the grapes that had been sitting on my porch for almost 3 weeks ripening. Why I chose to do it right then I wasn't sure. I just decided to do them that morning- which was odd because I was supposed to go out to my mom's to help her make some salsa that morning (she has sciatica issues and couldn't stand for longer than a couple minutes) Then I remembered that I had told a friend I would help him go through a song he had to sing at ten o'clock that morning. So I tried calling my mom to tell her that, but I couldn't get to her on the phone. I facebooked a quick message saying I would do that and then I was planning on having a nap and going out to her place afterwards. Thankfully, my 1:00 voice lesson saw that post and commented questioning whether or not they should be coming. My goodness I had completely forgotten about that too! Thanks baby brain. So, I was able to be at home for all the things I had previously planned on doing. Prayer works, even when you feel like your day didn't go at all how you thought you "planned" it.

 So, all in all, my first goal has been NOTABLY a huge improvement in my life. My sister, who I generally see everyday, commented that she noticed I've been happier too! Hooray!

So, in writing all of these goals down, I've also noticed that I've been actively trying to do them ALL more often. Even though I had set a pace of dealing with adding one goal a week. It's great! This week my focus is adding in a bit of exercise every day. So I looked up some prenatal yoga today. I figure I need to start easy.

• 8 Minute Yoga Video By the way FitPregnancy.com is a great website!
• 10-15 minute "walk"

That's it! I use the term walk loosely. I am sooo slow these days.

It'll be more like a herd of turtles waddling through molasses... but I will perservere. It's more the habit I want to gain right now. I'm not so much looking for amazing body changing results. (Unless the baby wanted to come early... I would be looking for that)

That's it! We'll see how this week goes!
