Reflections

Okay, so I gained back almost everything that I lost...Why? Looking back over this last month, I see that I made good food choices only part of the time. I wasn't deliberately looking for the best choice, I was getting by. I know that I'm not going to lose the weight by "just getting by." If I'm going to change my eating habits, then I need to put myself in a position to do just that. Go through my pantry and refrigerator asking myself "Will this hinder my success? Is this going to be a temptation? Will this help me?" I need to be proactive and not reactive.

A dear friend posted this as her facebook status :

A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. Prov. 25:28

Wow! What a great verse! A city that is not fortified will fall to the enemy immediately. A person not prepared will fall to any temptation out there, be it food, lust, lying, etc. We must guard ourselves!

Btw, I did get my new journal. Very excited! It's green and pretty. I'll post pictures of it later. Now, I'm looking for that perfect pen. I'm hoping to start posting recipes of the week! We could all use help making healthier, heart friendly, butt friendly meals!

Have a super week!
