Discipline

Obedience, Habit, call it what you will. "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments." I work at a Catholic hospital and the calendar has a daily quote/scripture/what have you. Most days I read them and ponder them for a bit. Some stay with me longer than others. Today's really stuck. I saw it in a whole new "NOS" light if you will. I have seen discipline help me to achieve pretty much anything I have ever been successful in. Looking back, that was the key ingredient in every major accomplishment in my life. I need to remember that more often during my weak moments.

Oh, and today I had plenty of them! 2 birthdays in the department! Worked with a pregnant girl and another self declared PMS'ing girl today. AKA snackaholics. Seconds were the only thing that didn't really tempt me, but even those did a bit. I have been craving sweets all day. I know my body does not need them, or any other food right now. I have fed it healthy, protein-filled declicious meals today. I should not be hungry.

I too am 1 week prior to my visitor and maybe that is what is testing me. Who knows... All I do know, is that coffee has been my lifesaver today. I'm about to drink my 3rd cup and it's nearly 6pm so that's not too bad. It has helped me in my weakest moments today though.

I keep thinking about the brownies in my freezer and how I want to make oatmeal scotchies and keep them in the freezer. This weekend is going to be so S-weet!

Keep reminding myself. It will be worth the wait.
