DAY 3

Ok... I have started the HARD part of the journey! Today is the first day of 500 calorie diet and eating my STRICT foods!! The past few days of fat loading were not fun! Most would assume that eating whatever you want & as much as you want would be great.... WRONG! I felt horrible. My body was sore and sluggish!! I thinks its also a mental thing, eating till you are SICK of food!! I did all my prep work for 5 days of food!! Getting a little scared... because 500 calories a day is NOT that much food!!!

I weighted in this AM at 205 pounds. This is considered my official starting weight!! I weighted in a few days ago & was 208...??? Hum... this is encouraging!!! Maybe the detox and hcG is starting to kick in!!!

Well... Ill be back later for a recap of the day!! But first here's my 'OUR DAILY BREAD' recap!!!
This was what I read this AM from a devotional and my Bible!! It was a great reminder of how I am unique to God and He cherishes ME!! This is great encouragement to take care of this body he has blessed me with! I want to give back to many... and I can't do this if I am unhealthy and feeling sluggish all the time! I want to be at the top of my game!!

Here's what I read...

"Displayed on the wall of my friends’ lake house is a collection of pictures. Each one of the photos is of a sunset, taken from their deck during various seasons. While each is strikingly beautiful—no two are identical. When I look at them, it reminds me of what another friend once called a sunset—“God’s beautiful signature at the end of a day.”

God writes His signature on each sunset and on each of His unique children as well. I never grow tired of discovering how every person I meet is so delightfully different. God is infinitely creative, and the variety in our personalities, senses of humor, abilities, and preferences in music and sports are all handcrafted by Him.

In the body of Christ, we see how a diversity of spiritual gifts still have a common bond and can work together for God’s purposes to bring Him glory. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, we read, “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.”

God’s signature that is so evident in nature is also present in His people. Let’s celebrate the differences that make each of His children unique."

Genesis 1:31 (New International Version, ©2010)
³¹ God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!
