80 Day WLC – Day 8

Write your current weight.  Have you lost anything in the past week?  If not, what are your plans for this week?

Well, like I wrote yesterday, I weighed in at 213.8, which means I lost 2.2 pounds.  So yes, I lost, and yes, I am thrilled! 🙂  My plan for this week, and every other week, is to keep being mindful of what I’m putting in my mouth, and to start exercising more.  I think when I add some exercising in the mix, the weight will hopefully come off easier, along with my blood sugars getting better.  Don’t get me wrong, they’re doing amazingly well right now compared to what they used to be, but there’s still room for improvement.  Healthy healthy healthy….that’s what I want to be!!!

So today is Sunday….lazy football watching day.  Well, hubby watches football, I play on the computer or read.  I also need to get some laundry done and put some clothes away. 

I went to church last night and it was AMAZING!!!  I love it that I’ve found a church that I look forward to going to, and when I leave, I feel like I’m walking on air.  Last night ‘s service touched on forgiveness, but was mostly about facing our problems head on.  Ignoring your problems, avoiding them, or excusing them isn’t  going to help you…not even a little bit.  You have to face them, meet them head on, and deal with them…..and if you do that, with the belief and faith that God is with you and fighting this battle with you, then you have nothing to fear.  It’s like this saying I see a lot…."If God is with me, who can possibly be against me?"  But another thing the sermon covered, when it comes to any problems we have, is that we have to be HONEST with ourselves.  Stop excusing your bad behavior, or pretending that what you’re doing "isn’t that bad."  Be honest with yourself, with God, and deal with it.  Just because something you’re doing makes you feel good doesn’t mean it’s right.  I have several areas in my life that need work…..but I’m being honest with myself, and with God, and I’m putting all my faith and trust in Him to help me fight and conquer these issues.  It’s hard to do the right thing….that’s true in almost every situaton.  But I try to look at the big picture, and in the end, my salvation is more important than whatever momentary pleasure I may get from doing something I know is wrong.

So it’s back to work tomorrow….blah.  I’m totally psyched about the testing at AAA on Thursday, though!  I’ll make sure to let you all know how it goes. 

I hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing Sunday!  Much love….xoxo
