Week 9 - 75D/Off the Rails
I kind of guessed this might happen but sometimes you never know, until you know.
This week everything kind of went off the rails. We did a LOT and a huge lesson I have learned about myself (I’ve known for a while, but this week certainly solidified it), is that’ I’m not super great at discipline when I have a lot on my plate. I make excuses, I justify and I let myself (probably too often) off the hook.
Our friends are here visiting and like I mentioned yesterday, when you have people visiting it is always a schedule disruptor. I am not a person who likes to say NO or likes to be the one to ruin everyones good time, so when these things happen I often will sacrifice what is going on with me because disrupting everything so I can make sure I maintain my challenge is super uncomfortable for me.
The only thing I’ve really kept up with is being off Instagram. It’s really easy NOT to look at an app, much easier than DOING other things that might interfere with various things going on in our lives.
Even though I was not perfectly disciplined during this time, we made memories. We played hours of games and laughed until our cheeks hurt. I started a new Bible study at church. We encountered our first mouse in the house. Paul got his closet organized and we started on the bedroom wall that I’ve had in my vision for a long time. We booked our first CRUISE!
It was a great week even though I technically failed at our challenge. It’s OK and not OK all at the same time. I may have failed, but I learned something. To me, that’s a win.
