Day 1: June 27th

DAY #1


So day #1 is off to an okay start!  I'm fully expecting the paleo crash in a few days, but for now I'll take the good and happy feeling :-)


Faith:  
I started another book by Francis Chan (In the past I ready 'Crazy Love'- I highly recommend it!) and this time I'm reading 'Forgotten God'.  I haven't got too far, but so far I like it.  I like Chan's writing style, which is easy to read & understand, yet gets his point across.  A few interesting points from today's reading were the differences between Exegesis & Eisegesis.  Honestly, I had no clue what these words meant prior to this!  


"Exegesis: an attempt to discover the meaning of the text objectively, starting with the text and moving out from there.
Eisegesis: to import a subjective, preconceived meaning into the text."


Think about it- how many times do we already have an idea stuck in our minds, and we just search for things to support it instead of finding out all of the information surrounding it?  With many religious ideas, I know that people do that.  So I will try to be objective & use a exegesis point of view when reading.  One quote from the books says, "And this is the question I just can't get around: If it's true that the Spirit of God dwells in us and that our bodies are the Holy Spirit's temple, then shouldn't there be a huge difference between the person who has the Spirit of God living inside or him or her and person who does not?"  I know I'm not always a great shining example- nobody is perfect- but we all need to strive to be better tomorrow than we are today!


Family:
I'll fill you in tomorrow on this aspect.  So far, I've been to the gym & had coffee with my hubby!  R is with his mom today, and E is at her dad's.


Fitness:
5:30am bootcamp- core, shoulders, & cardio today!  Hot & sweaty & awesome!!  Super proud of my clients who are sticking out this heat wave & pushing it!
Paleo is going well- Early morning, after the gym, I had a protein shake (not paleo but this is one of my exceptions for now) and COFFEE!  (black, no sugar no cream!)  Around 10:30, my late breakfast was 2 eggs & turkey (out of avocado, boo!) and lots of water today.  It's hot.  Like, really really really hot.  I feel bad for my amazing husband who has to work out in this 100+ degree heat :( YUCK!  Tomorrow I would like to hit the Farmer's Market for some local fresh fruit!  We are starting to get veggies from our garden already- woohoo!!
