Day 2 of 23 Day Trial

Yesterday’s morning routine ran a little overly long and it seems that most everything wound up running far later into the day than planned, I believe that the routine will smooth out and prove quite beneficial to me.

I feel like I was more focused on getting things done than normal.  I wound up having time to read some other peoples posts and leave comments.  I didn’t need to make a mad dash out the door (and I had everything I needed ready).  At most importantly, I felt a calmness and confidence throughout the day that was subtle, but was certainly recognizable and was welcome.

I was a bit bummed this morning when I stepped onto the scales.  I was up a full pound to 263 pounds.  This is the danger of weighing one’s self every day.  The body does fluctaute its weight and I would probably find that my weight is down a pound or two if I way myself later this morning.  I know I ate properly yesterday and trust that my weight will be moving in the right direction, but it always a bit of a blow when you see the scale move in the wrong direction.

I got over the let down fairly quickly, once I started the Rosary. Its hard to get remember other emotions when your concentrating on trying to learn the words of another language.  Then I moved into the exercises and by the time I finished those I was in a good mood and I’m ready to take on the day.

I will not always announce my 3 Most Important Things of the day my MITs as many will be personal but today I will put them out there to see how this concept works (It is part of trial to set these every day.) The first task moves me towards the personal goal of writing a faith article so today I will brainstorm for 15 minutes on the subject listing anythng that I might want to share or research for the article.  The second task moves me towards the work related goal of improving our enrollment, I want to attend a seminar series that focuses on strengthening leadership within the school and addresses tactics to improve the marketing of the school. Today I will make sure that all necessary forms are faxed to the district so that I can get this seminar paid for.  The third task is also work related and it is to make sure my in-box is empty.
