Week 1 - New Paradigm, Old "Issues"
1 week into committing to track my food and follow a simple program!
I'm excited to say that Troy has been doing well, tracking his food, I think... he's always on his phone, so I'll say that is what it is...
I've been about 80% with tracking my food this week and stayed under my calorie target for the food I tracked. My "cycle" is on so I'm retaining a little weight, I feel confident that the scale will move significantly next week.
I asked Troy this week "What can I do to be a better wife?" He proceeded to go on a 7 minute tirade about how I "interrupt" him, by asking questions, when he's talking. My questions disrupt his train of thought and he can't get his point out.
Full disclosure: I was NOT happy about his complaint. I listened and didn't respond, I had several questions, I didn't ask. I could have told him all the reasons I ask questions, to get clarity on what he's talking about. I realize, he doesn't care about my understanding, he just wants me to listen.
SO I listened. My intention when he's talking or ranting in the future, is to take note of the questions I have and wait for him to finish he's train of thought.
I have learned enough to know that some things are worth fussing over! Honoring his desire to rant, is a simple and easy request to comply with ... In the grand scheme of things, it is not at all significant.
I'm enjoying the regular exercise and mindful movement. I've incorporated some animal protein back into my diet, didn't miss it, truth be told.
I got up this morning at 4:30am to do my Miracle Morning, for the 1st time in AGES! It was great! I followed on recommendation about brushing my teeth, it kept me from falling asleep during my quiet time! Yeah! I read the first 28 pages of the Miracle Equation and started planning my Missions, basically goals with a higher level of intent behind them.
I'm excited!
'Til Next Time!
