Evaluation, a couple weeks later.

I'm revisiting my rebellion list from 2 weeks ago. Let's see where I am now...

I resist getting up in the morning. (I've stopped setting my alarm clock unless there's someplace I have to be before 10 am - and oddly, I seem to be waking up around 6 a few mornings a week, so I'm just getting up whenever I wake up.)

I resist reading my Bible. (I've been reading/listening to my Bible each day. I've set a goal to go through the entire Bible this year, so I've been following a chronological plan for that and really enjoying it. The days I am up early, I enjoy having a great quiet time. The days I am not up before Eliana I have still made it a priority to at least listen to the daily reading - my phone will read it to me - and meditate on it as I get ready in the morning.)

I resist doing my daily coaching work. (I still have forgotten some days, but have not actively resisted doing the work. In fact, I have been fairly consistent at reading the scrolls, and I've been more consistent in journaling. I've been working on power sessions, and I think I'm starting to see improvement in my ability to focus on the task in front of me to get it done.)

I resist taking my pill. (I have been much better at taking my pill, and the couple times I missed it until later in the day it was not a matter of rebellion, but of forgetfulness. I am working on that morning habitual routine so I don't even have to think about it to get it done.)

I resist eating a healthy breakfast. (Breakfast has gotten much easier. Protein is a great way to start the day.)

I resist taking a shower. (Don't know that I've fought with this the last couple weeks, though I probably did a couple days and just don't remember.)

I resist emptying the dishwasher. (The dishwasher has "magically" been emptying itself lately! While my breakfast is in the toaster / microwave, I start emptying the dishwasher and find that it only takes a couple minutes. Then it's done before I even have time to think about what an awful task it is!)

I resist doing a load of laundry. (I have been MUCH better about the daily laundry the last couple weeks. The weekends throw me for a loop, so I will have to figure out how to deal with them, but I'm making progress, and even Leif noticed!)

I resist making my bed and teaching Eliana how to make hers. (Yeah, still hit and miss on mine, and totally ignoring Eliana's)

I resist doing my work early in the day. (When I get up early, especially, I get a lot done early in the day. Still hit and miss on the other days.)

I resist exercising. (Yeah, still resisting this one.)

I resist cleaning the house. (Yeah, this one still needs work, too.)

I resist planning meals. (Been doing better at meal planning this last couple weeks.)

I resist eating a healthy lunch. (I was going to say I'm doing a little better, but I think today proved that wrong. I'm still working on this.)

I resist making dinner. (I had a huge success in this area when I wanted Leif to take me out to dinner! I told him I didn't have any plans for dinner and he said he'd let me know when he was done with the project he was working on and on his way home. In the meantime, I looked around for dinner items at home and by the time he got home I had a delicious, healthy meal ready and on the table. I even had freshly baked cookies for him for dessert! It wasn't so hard after all!)

I resist making business calls. (In the last 2 days I have booked 6 appointments!)

I resist loading the dishwasher. (Been doing that all through the day lately, and all I have to do at night is run it!)

I resist putting Eliana to bed. (Still resist this. She's getting pretty good at putting herself to bed when we tell her to. I am taking the time to read her a book, though, so that's getting closer, I think... )

I resist washing my face. (Erm... still resisting this one.)

I resist picking out my clothes for the next day. (Hit and miss... tonight I put together quite a few outfits so I could have things pre-assembled to choose from. Also helped Ellie pick out her clothes for the week so it's not a battle when we have to get out of the house in the morning.)

I resist going to bed at a decent time. (Again with the hit and miss. I've been managing to get to bed by 11 most nights, and that has actually been good. I'd like to be a little more consistent, though, as I think it would help the next day go better.)
