I am sitting here drinking a small, decaf cup of coffee with very little fat free/sugar free creamer and only two Splendas in it. That is huge for me. I am thinking back to 3.5 months and 33lbs ago when I found out that I did not need to be drinking caffeine anymore. I really wasn’t phased by it when they told me. I just realized that that is something I am gonna have to do to change the way I am. I did it. It took me a day and a half and not too bad of a headache and I was over it. I packed up the coffee stuff and did great. I got it out over time when I thought I could handle less sugar without being tempted to put more. Well, I think now that I am drinking it again, I am becoming that creature of habit and wanting more and more and not drinking as much water. SO, tomorrow, I am gonna pack up the coffee again and ONLY drink it when I am at church or for something special. I have to take these measures to be who I need to be and have that healthy body/temple for serving the Lord. So, anyone want and coffee? I have some to give out. I’ll bring it to church Sunday and have it in the car if anyone wants it. I have decaf and regular (ground and not). I will keep the creamer and Splenda on hand so I can stock my purse for when I go out.
I got discouraged some because I am not losing as many pounds as I was. The margin has dropped and also I am putting on my muscle but I know that I am not doing everything I need to do either. I have wavered from my diet and I need to get back to doing what I was doing. That means not trying to get away with ranch dressing cuz I CAN’T have it right now. So, pray for me still in this journey and y’all will see the fruits of your prayers and encouragement in a few more months. Pray specifically that I not grab those random chips or cookies the boys have and that I put exercising at the gym on my schedule. I HAVE to do it. In my Beck Diet Solution Workbook one of the things it talks about it thinking of some things as NO CHOICE activities. Like showering, brushing teeth, washing clothes. We have NO CHOICE. We HAVE to do those things. Well, some of the things I am doing are gonna be NO CHOICE things to me and I am gonna hold to it.
Thank you, God for guiding me and keeping my mind alert to think on these things you want me to do for myself and my body so that I can eventually serve others better and more and stay healthy and live longer for my family.
Thank you to everyone else too. Lisa, thank you for being the greatest coach and for the little ring band. It is helping me A LOT!!!!!
Love you ALL!!!!!!
