Just another panicked Monday… How I wish was still Sunday… because that’s my fun day!
Wake-up: 6am… Technically I was up at 5:20am but I decided I needed to catch a few more zzzzzs
Weight: down 1.2 pounds this week for a total of 25.2pounds lost!
Coffee: 2 TBSP of SF French Vanilla Creamer + 2 sweeteners + a dash of cinnamon
I did not set myself up well… Luckily I’m learning to think on the fly and the more I count calories the better I am able to pack my meals and have a good knowledge of the calories going in! Here is what I had today…
Breakfast: 1 cup of FF Kroger’s brand Greek Yogurt Plain with ½ cup of cooked brown rice + 4 packets of sweetener + 1 mini box of raisins + cinnamon + vanilla extract = A delicious cold ‘rice pudding’
Snack: 1 large apple with 1 individual size serving of peanut butter
Lunch: 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread with 2 TBSP of roasted red pepper hummus+ 3 pieces of artichoke+ cucumbers+ tomato slices+ roasted red pepper = Ah-mazing sandwich! I love the roasted veggie sandwich from Panera Bread and this was my own take on that thrown together with veggies I had available to me in the fridge.
Snack: an insanely large weirdly colored deliciously tasting Plum!
Snack: 1 large cup of coffee with 4 creamers and approx ¼ cup of skim milk… By this point in my day I was running on E. I needed to refill my energy before heading to my weight loss meeting… I swung by Sheetz and grabbed a large coffee…
Meeting: I love these women. I’m so thankful that they are in my life. Please pray for our group we have a few women struggling right now with different things. This a group that is learning to live healthier and heal together.
Dinner: Since I got home late I wanted something light before crashing and going to bed. I decided to have a couple of scrambled eggs with a piece of FF cheese. A piece of toast with ½ TBSP of cardio spread. And a few pretzel crisps.
Exercise: 2 10minute brisk walks up the hill by my office… also an awkward attempt at zumba during my weight loss group. The only thing I really learned was the butt roll… not buttered roll… butt roll!
Here is how my day broke down:
Today I’ve continued to think about the services this past weekend. How my faith has been deepened and renewed. Where I’m going wrong in my life. The people who are influencing me to stray from the way I want to lead my life... how to fight and combat the temptations that seems thrown my way. Not just with food. How to be a better Christian. How to be a better worshiper and believer of Christ… These are the things I want to work on. I know that there is a huge connection to my weight, over eating, and emotions… I think part of not knowing Christ was always having to feel self sufficient. Like I had no one but myself to rely on. I have been so wrong for so many years. I know that the evil one keeps trying to get in to my mind to tell me I’m not good enough. That I’m not worthy. That once again I will fail. I refuse to let that happen… The One who is in me is greater than any of this world. I met my first goal today of 25pounds. Christ walked with me on that journey and will continue to walk with me for the next 25pounds then the next then the next… The vessel I’m chiseling out of this massive amount of flesh will be a holy vessel for God to use to do his work. May God bless you and touch you the way he has blessed and touched me.
xoxo
