Hello Readers,
As you all know I am about to embark on a life-style journey; the weight-loss safari. Today, with a cart in hand, I explored the wonders of the grocery store. Believe me it was a jungle. From people being in the way to kids running around like monkeys, I actually survived. Not only did I manage to get out, I got out spending only $110; that in it's self is a victory. Upon walking out the store, the heat and humidity enveloped my lungs, and I instantly began to melt. When I got into my car, Noah (a friend's little boy) belts out "Its so hot I can smell fire." I told him it was because I was turning into a fire-breathing dragon-kids are so gullible. After groceries were put away, I collapsed on the couch wishing for a nice, clear, crisp, cool pool. It would have been the perfect ending for such a miserable trip. Hopefully, come Monday morning I will be ready to travel the path to a healthier me.

ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you as you embark on a healthier you. There is nothing harder to me than trying to eat and live a healthier lifestyle. It is something I battle with daily. I find myself reading nutrition labels, calculating calories, measuring portions, weighing the good vs the bad in my choices and then scheduling a workout daily. I can say I do feel better when I eat better but it is a constant battle that I endure! Only God can provide you the strength to push through the temptations and weakness that you will face. Be encouraged my friend, God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
I am attaching some scripture to read for the time you feel defeated or discouraged.
Jeremiah 33:6
John 1:4
John 1:12,13
Romans 6:6,7
II Corinthians 5:17,18 Galatians 2:20,21
Ephesians 4:14-16
Ephesians 4:22-24
I know that God has a plan for you and Tommy and it will be an awesome one! Just remember God's timing is not on the same time table as our timing. Be encouraged and blessings to you as you begin this journey.

Good Luck I am sure you will do just fine in this new eating lifestyle. I changed my eating habits about 3 months ago and I am now 12 pounds lighter. Slow process because I am not taking my meds like I need to. I cant get any more till I see the doc but I am just glad to see something come off. I quite drinking anything but water and cut sugar out and I am watching my calories and fat a little. I am going to start working out at the gym too but I havent gotten that far yet. Anyway I know youll do great. Keep me posted on how your doing.
