Regular visits to the gym is still part of my daily routine. It is time to start figuring out ways to change things up and push my body more. My body is adjusting and rate of weight loss is decreasing. There is this women's bible study that meets at my church on Mondays. I haven't been going to the gym on Mondays and it seems I dont see Catch there as much. It had almost been a week since I had seen him. Either Im losing my mind and thinking I am seeing him outside of the gym or I actually did. This morning on my way to church, I could have sworn the guy running with this FSU hoodie was Catch. By the time I was close enough to tell for sure if it was him; I had passed him- at the same time as going through a four way intersection ( The last thing I want to do is explain to my insurance company; "thought I saw Catch and ran into another car"). Last time I got the opportunity to see him at the gym he was on the pull up bar. If Catch on the rowing machine wasn't enough to motivate me; seeing him on the pull-up bar made my knees weak. I had to look away so I didn't get caught staring. His upper body is looking really good. Apparently the time and hard work he is doing on the rowing machine and the pull-up bar is paying off.
There is a concert I would like to get up the nerve to invite him. (I never got the never to invite him to the pre-screening of The Kingsman; or leave the ticket at the gym for him); but I doubt inviting him will go beyond this post.
The concert is Third Day. I have another problem with the Third day concert. The concert is the week of my birthday. It is like a birthday (March 24th) present from my Savior; a night of praise and worship. My issue is I have a close friend whose wedding date has recently changed to the night of the concert and its out of town. Would it be selfish or self -centered of me to go to the concert? Just the other day my friend said I have a decision to make. I let her know then; I really want to go to this concert. Right now I'm so torn about this; I have prayed about what would be the right thing to do. Leaning more toward buying a nice wedding gift and going to the concert (Face the dilemma of whom to take with me later). The concert isn't until March 28th.
Speaking of selfish or self-centered; the title of today's message at church was: The pitfalls of being self-centered. To understand the relevance of the title, I have to explain what I heard on my favorite (and only) radio station last week: 88.1 WAY FM. One of the radio personalities was talking about relationships. He was specifically mentioning how he had been in relationships in the past because he liked the accolades he was receiving from a girl or he was just attracted to her. The the realization hit me; in my search for a potential partner I find myself looking for what they can do for me. I am being selfish. So this week message entitled the pitfalls of being self-centered was really what I needed. God is still working on me, and I can see that. There are changes that can be seen; and there is work still to be done. My new years resolution was to trust in my Savior. He has not failed me thus far; nor let me down. I will take this as a sign to wait and let God continue to work on me and when He is ready, in His time-He will send that right one for me.
Update on my 30 day water challenge: One thing I noticed when I watched the video of the women who inspired me to do the challenge. Her before and after photo was great. It was actually her after video. Her skin looked so good, clear and smooth. I realized it was the water. I noticed the same with my skin. It cleared up significantly since starting this 30 water challenge. It gives me motivation to keep it up.
Im still working on doing better with my eating choices. I am a stress eater. Consuming more water with meals helps; but i am going to have to do better to see more changes ( Still not up to 3 L a day).
