Today I made porridge for breakfast (it was quite nice) and i made pasta and sauce for dinner. It may not be something spetacular but for me its a start. The pasta sauce was made from scratch with tomatoes, herbs, pepper, garlic, onions and puree. You can really taste the difference from the readymade processed stuff. It tasted fresh and healthy. I also made lunch and dinner for tomorrow to save time as Wednesday is a long day for me.

But today wasn’t easy. I was very frustrated because i had to change my routine, prepare my clothes the night before, wake up early, make my breakfast, make sure my room was tidy before i left the house and make sure my appearance was decent . I was trying to fit all this in 1 hour and 15 minutes and not be late for work at the same time. I'm used to just waking up, having a bath, finding whatever to wear, do my hair and leave the house. If i have time i'll grab something from the bakery or mcdonalds. Lunchtime and towards the end of the afternoon was hard seeing people eating Subway, McDonalds, Greggs etc wasn’t easy. I was tempted even to buy pizza but i resisted and waited until I got home to make my food, and boy couldn’t i wait to wet home as a was beginning to become ratty because of hunger. When I am hungry I'm quite mood and i did have a long face (which is forbidden in sisterhood so am working on my facial expressions too).

I was begginning to lose interest and thought i was taking this too seriously. But because I set the challenge and made a vow I had to fulfil it. I couldn’t turn back from it, and God already showed me that’s what I always do. When I don’t like something or things get difficult and uncomfortable for me I complain, come up excuses and either give up or try and find an easy way, with that 'God understands' attitude. But not this time, I have to discipline myself and organise myself. If I can’t do this on a physical level, how am I meant to do it on a spiritual level? Being faithful, discplined and organise in the small things, will help when it comes to more difficult and bigger things.
