Magical Mondays: 2/3 of the way there!!

Why are Mondays so magical? Anytime someone starts a goal (especially one we really don't want to do or one that will take some hard work), we start it on a Monday. I decided to start three of my goals today but was only successful with two of them. I was proud of doing at least the two because holidays are normally out of the question for starting goals! I went for a run/ walk (sorry Ruthanne) today. I want to exercise five to six times a week. I got up at five today to do my eight mile run; thanks Jordan for getting up with Kate last night so I wouldn't talk myself out of running. Then during Kate's morning nap, I read my scriptures. It was great to be reminded that we are indebted to the Lord, yet He still gives us blessings. All He really asks of us is to keep His commandments. Why then do I struggle sometimes? That really isn't hard and it makes me so much happier! I love the gospel so much and am grateful for the testimony that I have. I will continue to try and do better every day. I will also use the Atonement daily. I want to have a strong relationship with Heavenly Father, that I don't go a day without talking to Him! My third goal was to eat healthy. It lasted until ten, which is when I finally ate breakfast. Lol. It was almost healthy. I had oatmeal and then decided I had to throw some chocolate chips in there. It wasn't even that good but it was a must. If I decide to not eat healthy that day, I MUST eat everything that is unhealthy! I really need to change my mentality and be ok with eating a sweet here and there instead of binge eating all the time. Needless to say, the day got worse and worse with eating unhealthy. It ended with Lauren buying me a dirty Dr. Pepper and a cookie; thanks Lauren!! Well, tomorrow is a new day. I will not wait for another magical Monday to restart my goals. We will see how it goes. Hopefully I can do all three tomorrow!
