AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it's like I am not able to get to the 170's. But I am SO close! I only have a few more days! 7 official days left! WOW... i cant believe that I have actually done the program & not cheated! I am SO proud of myself! i am starting off 2011 felling WONDERFUL. I am excited for what this year will bring! I am excited to continue my health program and get to my goal!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We had a wonderful weekend with friends (thanks Kim & Dave & girls)!! My menu wasn't that big of an issue, but the ONE thing that I missed having was a glass of wine! I am VERY excited for the next phase and being able to enjoy a glass of wine!! It's almost worse than when pregnant, because I could have a glass... it wont hurt a baby!! But, I am DEDICATED to this stinking program!! Wine will wait one more week! :-)
I am having surgery on Thursday of this week. That will be 3 days before the end of my program and I am wondering what the doc will say about my eating & drops! I will call her tomorrow and ask if i should skip a day or still do drops or if she will take me off the program 3 days early.
My goal for this program was to drop 30 pounds. I am 2 pounds away. I am praying that Thursday morning I am -30 pounds from start date!! This will make me VERY happy!
I am starting to really hate my food choices. After 33 days of eating a small list of food... I am ready for a good bowl of soup, or a salad with all the fixings! I still cant have carbs, and sweet treats, or peanuts, and a bunch other things, BUT I can have cheese and a few red meats, and a few salad dressings, and SOUPS!! So I am getting really excited!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I read this in a devotional... INTERESTING!! Great food for thought for the beginning of the year!!
A hotel in Singapore introduced an express buffet—eat all you can in 30 minutes and pay just half the price! After that experience, one diner reported: “I lost my decorum, stuffing my mouth with yet more food. I lost my civility, . . . and I lost my appetite for the rest of the day, so severe was my heartburn.”
Sometimes I think in our devotional reading we treat God’s Word like an express buffet. We wolf it down as fast as we can and wonder why we haven’t learned very much. Like physical food, spiritual food needs chewing! For those of us who have been Christians for a long time, we may have a tendency to speed-read through the passages we’ve read many times before. But in doing so, we miss what God is meaning to show us. One sure sign of this is when we learn nothing new from that passage.
David’s desire was right when he wrote in Psalm 119:15, “I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.” That’s the way to treat God’s Word—to take time to mull it over.
Let’s not come to the Bible as if we were going to an express buffet. Only by meditating on God’s Word will we get the most value for our spiritual well-being.
