Day 93 in making my way to a healthier me to meet up with Mickey
My plan for today is to help to load up the food for the PADS program at work/church. PADS is a non-profit organization that provides temporary shelter for the homeless. Once a month our church, St. James, takes on the task of providing the dinner meal, along with food for breakfast and a sack lunch the next day to a PADS site. Today is PADS day, so I will:
- roll the cart with the non-perishables, out to our volunteer’s minivan
- unload the non-perishables
- roll the cart back through the building to the kitchen
- load up the perishables from the refrigerator and freezer
- roll the cart out to our volunteer’s minivan…again
- unload the perishables into the minivan
- give the volunteer a hug.
I like the idea of being helpful, rather than sitting at my desk and typing while she does all the heavy lifting. It’s good to have some energy to be able to help. Thank you, Lord, for nutritious foods, and thank you for the ability to be moving more!
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Donna’s Disney Quest Day 10
Today I need to remind myself why I’m doing this. I want to be able to walk 5 miles in 14 months. If I can get there, then I can truly enjoy the Walt Disney World Parks. Disney World is my happy place; no doubt about it. But let’s face it, if you have ever visited there, you know that it is a marathon, not a sprint.
I broke my plan last night. (I don’t plan to do that ever, but it happened.) I didn’t do Tai Chi and the Shake Weight when I got home. I had had such a physically active day at work that I was pooped out. You see, instead of sitting at my desk “too busy” to help out, I rolled the cart out to the car, I helped load the food into the car, I rolled the cart back into place in the church. All this to get necessary items to a local temporary food/housing program for the homeless. It felt so good to help. Then I walked out to get the mail at work and wondered why the front door was tied open. So, being very helpful, I untied the door and let it close behind me. As I traveled down the sidewalk to the mailbox, I heard a loud ‘click.’ Yup, it locked behind me. So I got a nice long walk around the building to the rear entrance. (#happy face, #doh!) I’m just sure God was smiling at that one.
Anyway here’s today’s plan: I plan to eat healthy portions of nutritious foods, and I plan to get up and walk/move around every hour at work. I put a pot roast in the crock pot before I left for work this morning with the help of my delicious husband. (He would blush if he saw that! tee hee He’s not following my blog yet.) 🙂
Thank you for reading, my faithful few. Meet you at the Kingdom.
