10.5 lbs GONE!

It's amazing to me how one week you think you have done so good with your plan to only lose 1 lbs and then when you think the week didn't go so great you lose 3.5 lbs. I am shouting for joy this morning, I got on the scale to find I had lost 3.5 lbs this week. Praise the Lord!!!! I am weighing only once a week because I can get addicted to the scales.

The Lord is showing me that just because I may slip up here and there doesn't mean I have to LIVE in that slip-up. I made several slip-ups this past week but I made a point not to lose focus and to get right back on track. Well, it paid off. God is showing me that this is the same in my everyday walk. I am a sinner, but by the grace of God I do not have to live in that sin all the time. My day to day walk with the Lord is always growing stronger but sometimes, (often) I slip-up. God picks me up and wipes that bad attitude off or corrects my tongue or thoughts or actions, you get the point.

The end of week three has brought a renewed fire. I am going into week four with a fresh outlook. Changing old habits are very hard! Small steps HELP. This week I will continue as the past three weeks. This week I would like to add walking into the mix. I enjoy walking and now that I no longer have the gym to go too, I will try to find new ways to get out and get moving.

CHEERS for a new fresh week!

This is HUGE, congratulations!!! I'm getting more serious about my food intake too. I need to get calcium, so I'm researching foods that have more calcium and at the end of the day I need to have 1200 mg. This nutrition thing in my life is a journey but it's really good. I've been exercising often and feeling good. Congrats to you again! I'm proud of you. You should write a book on your experience, even if it's a little book.
