Another crazy day yesterday. Started off by getting breakfast with Buddy. Had an incredible fruit salad with a little yogurt and muesli on it, a new favorite to be sure. Lunch was a pb&j with some crackers, a banana and some rumbatan. Dinner we spent at the orphanage, and I ate what I was served so as not be rude so I admit to having a coke. I had 2 meat on a stick with a serving of rice and some sort of vergtable over the rice that was pretty nasty and the some jack fruit and roasted jack fruit seeds. I rode my bike for an hour and also played an intense soccer game for an hour. Had probably around a 45 minute quiet time spread out over the day. 

Also, I am starting to make weekly goals for myself to try and keep me motivated even on short term

Yesterday was an absolutely crazy day! Started off by getting up at 4:30am and headed towards Angkor Wat. I brought some fruit with me and over the course of the trip I ate an apple, orange and a pineapple. I also ate a cinnamon bun though and I hate to admit it, but I had an energy drink. But it was a special Cambodian one that also has a lot of vitamins in it. If given the choice again, I would still drink  it as going on 4 hour of sleep I wanted to have a brain for climbing the ruins of the once great city. For lunch I had a serving of rice with vegetables, ½ an egg and some cashews. Dinner had a half serving of rice with a golden dollar size piece of meat and a slice of dragon fruit. Later we all went and hung out at a café and I had a mango fresh fruit shake(I believe it just had mango and crushed ice blended together) and a piece of French bread. For exercise I spent almost 7 hours walking and climbing around Angkor Wat and then rode my bike for 30 minutes. Had an hour long quiet time with God, and finished the book of Exodus!

Friday was an insane day. Ate an apple and some oatmeal for breakfast. Lunch was half a serving of rice with eggplant and some pineapple. Dinner was a serving of rice with some sort of noodle and mushroom soup over it. Also had 2 bananas and another apple throughout the day. I did around 2 hours of bike riding, but no muscular training. 1 hour quiet time with God, along with a couple hours worshiping with everyone at the church that night.

Ok so internet has been out for a couple of days so I'm a tad behind on posting! sorry!!!

Thursday I had oatmeal and an apple and an orange for breakfast and a small serving of rice with green beans and a sliver of meat and a couple cashews. Dinner however, Buddy treated us all to a buffet, so I ate way more than I should. I really don't know what all I ate, but for desert I really did just have fruit and a little bit of chocolate. Had another really good hour quiet time with God. Did an hour of bike riding, and did planks, push ups, sit ups and crunches and really stretched my shoulder.

Ok so yesterday was pretty good. (I say that a lot, huh?) Breakfast we had with Rich and Melissa and Jayden at The Blue Pumpkin. I had a couple bites of a fruit salad and then an egg and a piece of whole grain bread. For lunch I had a small serving of rice with this cucumber, and tomato thing that was seasoned with lime and had a little bit of chicken in it and then some rambatan. Dinner another small serving of rice with what we think was sweet potoatoes but they we’re sautéed with curry powder instead of being bad for you. Justin bought some bread/cake stuff from The Blue Pumpkin, so I had half of a piece for my sweet thing of the day. Finished off the day with some pineapple! So good. Rode the bike for another hour and also did a lot of stretching in my arm and did pushups, planks, sit ups and crunches.  Had one of the most amazing quiet times yesterday for around an hour/hour and a half. Really prayed for my family a lot.

Yesterday was a pretty good day again. I actually had a sweet thing, it was this orange shake thing. Not really completely sure what it was, but it kind of tasted like Fruity Pebbles(which, sound really good right now I might add). I rode the bike for an hour again, just doing our trek to school and back twice, but I didn't do any strengthen exercises as my shoulder was really hurting. I did do some stretches with it though, and that helped a lot. Breakfast I had a piece of bread with a light spread of strawberry jelly with 2 glasses of water. For lunch I had cucumbers, rambatan fruit, a serving of rice and sweet and sour chicken and carrots thing with 2 glasses of water. Dinner was rice and bean sprouts and chicken and a banana. I can't remember how much water I drank though. I also had a really good hour long quiet time with God. I really feel He is giving me the strength to become more self disciplined.

                                        this is rambatan fruit :) sooo yummy!! you eat the inside of it!

So yesterday was a pretty good day. An hour of quiet time, plus we had base praise and worship which was amazing! Ate 2 poached eggs for breakfast with a piece of bread and two glasses of water. Lunch was a serving of spaghetti noodles with a little bit to vegetable tomato sauce and 1 ½ pieces of garlic bread and 3 glasses of water. Dinner was a serving of rice and cabbage and pork with 4 glasses of water. I actually didn’t have ANYTHING sweet(this is seriously a miracle for me). I spent around an hour on the bike and also did pushups, planks, crunches and stretches. Ready to have a good day today! 

The Beginning

So this blog is started as a way to make me work on my discipline. I hate it so badly when other people see me fail. So, the theory is that by putting all the information out there, anyone reading this becomes my encouragement to keep being disciplined. I plan on doing this until I get back to the USA in May. I am setting some goals along with this blog, that I want to accomplish before that time as well as just daily goals that I can either pass or fail. I may change these goals more and I go on. I want to glorify God in all that I do. I don’t want anything to bring me any glory. My plans for attempting to be more disciplined are centered around the idea that I cannot do this by myself. They are centered around the idea that one of the things I am working to be more disciplined at is my time alone with Jesus. In doing that, I hope to daily rely more and more on HIS strength, and less and less on mine. SO!

The Goals:

Daily!

• ·         Read my bible for at least 30 minutes
• ·         Spend at least 15 minutes in prayer
• ·         Spend at least 15 minutes listening
• ·         No soda
• ·         1 kind of sweet thing a day
• ·         Smaller portions
• ·         Drink a glass of water before every meal, and just drink more water in general
• ·         Stretch/strengthen my shoulder
• ·         Some sort of cardio exercise
• ·         Some sort of muscle strengthen exercise

Long Term!!

• ·         Be consistant with my time with God without needing this blog!!!
• ·         Be someone who is super sensitive to God’s voice
• ·         Read the Old Testament before getting home
• ·         Run a 5k in 18 minutes
• ·         Run a 10k(I have to look up what good times are… I have no idea)
• ·         Weigh 140lbs (currently at around 160?? I’ll double check that number though) 

SSo, this starts today. I am going to try to update this daily, with how I did the previous day. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not... but here it goes!
