Physically, I have begun a new workout routine using videos from XHit Daily, a YouTube channel that posts short, high-intensity, targeted workouts every day. I'm only in my first week, but I really like them so far! I've been alternating days where I target arms and stomach with days where I target legs and back, and my poor flabby body doesn't quite know what hit it ... I have an important meeting tomorrow and I reeeeeally hope I'll be able to walk enough to get there!!

Mentally/spiritually, I was given a huge wake-up call this evening that I'm not really sure what to do with ... in my quest for contentment in singleness and my attempts to wrench my heart off its natural bent toward marriage and romance, I seem to have developed some very twisted and hurtful attitudes about men, especially in their relationship with women. I had thought on this a lot in the past but not addressed it; but tonight I very casually made a rude and unfair remark about men that actually hurt someone's feelings very deeply, and I was horrified at myself. I would be shocked and aghast if I heard a man say about women what I said about men. I need to figure out where these attitudes are coming from (my suspicion is that it's nothing fancier than hateful old-maid bitterness), then figure out how to change them, because I see now that I could hurt a Christian brother very badly and actually damage my witness and ministry opportunities if I have these attitudes. What a sobering and awful wake-up call it was.

I'm also feeling quite overwhelmed with the sheer amount of STUFF to keep track of for the coming year. Who knew that planning your life could involve so many emails and so much paperwork?? I'm going to put up a bulletin board tomorrow to start keeping track of my papers ... I'll make sure to post a picture if it turns out cute. :-)

Weellp, it's 2AM and I have to be somewhere in the morning, so I'd better head for bed. :-) I hope you have a lovely evening and some good sleep, too!!
Hugs and blessings,
Vicki
