Day 3: REST DAY!

Woke up this morning TIRED!  Was not ready to open my eyes at 7:30, but finally dragged myself out of bed at 7:45.  Went to bed too late last night.  I know one of my weight loss issues is not getting enough rest, making sure I get a solid 8 hours every night should probably be one of my goals.  Anyway, no Crossfit today.  It's a rest day.  I did, however, quickly check in and weigh myself and do a body test on the Wii (I confess I really just wanted another stamp on my virtual calender).


Breakfast:
Apple
Coffee with cream and cinnamon
3 ham and cheese roll-ups


Then off to church to teach children about being still and knowing God.  How do we do that?  Why is it important? I should abide in God and He in me, but what does it mean to abide?  Then according to Psalm 91: "he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."  That sounds awesome!  But there's that abiding word again and what secret place?  Is there a secret handshake I need to learn to get in?  And oh!  What about 1 Kings 19 and the whole bit about Elijah waiting on the presence of the Lord?  "Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper." Heh!  I love that!  So abiding, dwelling in the secret place, He in me and I in Him, the gentle whisper, or as some translations put it, the still, small voice and being still to know God how does it all fit together my little nose miners?  Go, be still before your God and then come back with some answers for me!


I had missed my junior highers, I wonder if they missed me and if they did if they'd change their answer after today's lesson? :)


Teaching made me thirsty: 32 oz. water


Lunch:
Low carb burger from Carl's
Large Coke Zero


Snack:
Tangerine
Chocolate heart.


Spent the afternoon hanging out with my friend Tricia and her children as Fox changed out a door at her place.  That would be the door our dog tried to claw halfway through last summer (you would not have believed the destruction that dog wrought).


The task took longer then we imagined, Fox not being handy by nature, and when all was said and done he was pretty tuckered and annoyed with the stinkin' dog.   So off we all went to dinner and a movie, hoping they would distract Fox from ideas of selling the dog to pay for repair materials.  


Dinner like lunch was lame and we had fast food, but Avatar was awesome and I still stayed pretty much on the straight and narrow so booyah!


Dinner:
Salad
Coke Zero
A few stolen fries
A few bites of Matt's milkshake


Dessert:
Apple


Didn't get enough water today, but I'm too tired to care.  I'll be better tomorrow.  I'm off to get some shut eye.  If I'm lucky I'll get 7 hours.
