Day One Hundred Ten

So today was kinda...well I don't know how to describe it really.  This morning I slept past my usual time.  My body was just so relaxed that I finally slept past 5:30am.  I woke up around 7am.  By then, it was pretty bright and sunny out.  Lees hadn't come home yet so I jumped up, washed up then I straightened up the place.  Just as I finished up, lisa came home.  She was so tired.  We talked a bit, then she went to sleep.  After she did, I got ready then I headed up to the casino.  I was so consumed by that place and how much fun I had yesterday that I wasn't even thinking about exercising this morning.  I just wanted to get back up there and jump on the machines.  Bad, I know.  I know now!  I got up there and played.  I did really good.  I only used 5 bucks and I made it last for 3 hours.  Then after I finally lost it, I popped in another ten bucks and I played that until I lost it.  Then I popped in a twenty and I played that until I lost it.  Then I started to get scared.  I didn't want to lose more money so I made the decision to play another twenty and try and get my other twenty back.  So I did.  I most of it.  I got all the way down to about six bucks, then down to two dollars left.  I was scared and very angry at myself.  But, at the last possible moment I was on the quarter machines and I almost hit the jackpot!  I hit two straight bonus symbols.  One more would've won me several hundred dollars, but instead I won $46 bucks.  I GOT MY MONEY BACK!!!  Well, most my money.  After that, I cashed out.  I was so lucky in that hit and I'm so glad I got my money back.  I still lost about 15 bucks, but that's ok.  Lot better than 55 dollars, dang!  So yes, I learned a very Very valuable lesson today!  God definitely showed me the dangers I was playing with and He pulled me out of it.  I know now that it's very dangerous to make decisions.  I know when to quit now and what not to ever let go of.  Trust me, I definitely got a lot out of this day!  Most ppl make stupid mistakes but never learn from it.  Me, I take every mistake I make as a learning experience and I never make light of it in any way.  I got a lot out of this.  I was scared that I was slacking off on my exercising.  I never wanted to do that, but because I didn't walk this morning, I was beating myself up. 

So to make up for it, I left the casino after that win.  I came home, turned on the Air Conditioner and gave my animals fresh cool water.  Then I took a long shower and cleaned all the mistakes off my body.  Then I made Lisa some lunch and when she woke up, I made sure she ate.  I told her about my crazy adventure today and she was very understanding.  That's what I love most about her, she's never judgmental towards me.  She's always so understanding.  That's why she's my Best Friend.  She really knows how to make me feel great especially after I know I screwed up big time.  So after she went to work, I cleaned up my yard outside.  I cut some weeds and really straightened up the place.  Then, I measured my bow shooting distances out there.  I got the place where I will set up my target, then I measured the 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yard marks so I can start shooting daily or whenever I can.  I took a few shots also and now, I'm totally ready.  I also filled up my hummingbird feeder because it was dead empty.  To make up for my 6 mile walk that I didn't do this morning, tonight I did DDPyoga!  Oh my gosh, it was super hard.  Right now, my body feels so weak.  I was sweating like crazy after that workout, but I felt great!!  I'm very proud of how this day ended.  I didn't lose myself after all.  I made a mistake this morning, but I will never do that again and I know that for a fact!  God put a really great head on my shoulders and I know how to use it.  I will take these mistakes and learn from them. 

So today was a great day, well I mean it ended on a great note.  Now, Lisa is in bed sleeping and I'm about to hit the sack.  Tomorrow, I'm getting up early and doing my 6 miles and I will never stop, only for my Rest Days, then the following day I'll be out there again.  My Fyrescape Journey is not even half over yet.  I've got a long way to go ;)  Goodnight!
