1 month mark!

I MADE IT!!!!! Today, marks my one month mark. Oh, it's been a good journey thus far. I have had some slip-ups but I just push that restart button and keep going. It's so refreshing after so many years of yo-yo dieting to find something that is working for me.

I decide not to weigh on Tuesday and weigh today, on my one month mark. I have lost 2 lbs! That makes a total of 12.5 lbs in one month!!!!!!!! (I've got my dancing shoes on today!)

So, what have I learned in this month? ------ I am reminded that God is faithful when we listen then obey His voice. I have learned that I do NOT need food every hour, that I have signals that say "okay I'm hungry it's time to eat." I have learn to SLOW down while eating and enjoy the food in front of me. I have learn the discipline to WAIT between meals and only eat a snack if I can't wait until dinner. My body needs exercise, it just feels good. I am learning that my body will tell me, through the way of cravings, what nutrition I need when I get hungry. I have learned that people do watch you, so being a good example is really important. (Rocky has changed the way he eats!!!) Lastly, I have learn that losing weight has been a changing and renewing of the mind for me, that it is a process that God is doing in me. ----- I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn. Every day is different and every day presents a new challenge. I have enjoyed the process and I enjoy being accountable to you who read.

I hope you ALL have a wonderful weekend.

p.s.
I will try to be better about posting next week.

You got on your dancing shoes?? I'm dancing with you girl!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! God is faithful! I've been eagerly waiting for this post. Cindy, you've come a long way. You are almost reaching your goal. Look at what the Lord has done not only in you but in your family and friends in a month! I pray that you stay encouraged. After my last fast I too was wondering why in the world are we so scared of being hungry? We shall live by every word that comes out of the mouth of a God who knows we need food, clothing and shelter. I too am learning to trust God in all things. I'm really excited for you. Be sure to celebrate BIG all your milestones before you reach your goal. YOU GO GIRL!!!!
