What a difference a day makes

In my earlier posts, on this blog I wrote about changes that I would like to see in my health and my weight. I would like to give you an update on those. Well, I am happy to report that I am no longer on blood pressure medicine which is a great thing, but I didn't lose much weight. All together it averages out to 10 lbs in the last 8 months. I know that I can do better than that!

Sunday night I started thinking about my health and they things that I want to do with my life. I started praying about it. To be honest, I hadn't prayed about my health or weight loss before. I always thought of it as something only I could do, not God. I think that's why I haven't been getting better results. I have not given this part of my life to the Lord... the part that eats out more than I'm supposed to, the part that is too lazy to prepare a healthy meal, the part that is too busy to plan out meals for the week. etc.. I give it all to the Lord.


That same day Craig and I went to the store and stocked up on fresh produce, meat from the deli and dairy products and bought very few processed items. Our grocery bill was pretty expensive (almost twice what we spend in two weeks..), but I think that it's worth it.

Yesterday was the first day of healthy eating and I feel wonderful. I had strawberries, apples, bananas,pitas, hummus, alfalfa sprouts, carrots, grapes, blueberries, red peppers, turkey meat, chicken breast, peas, yogurt, granola, granola bars, milk, water, pure pomegranate juice, cup of ice cream for dessert, a little bit of mac&cheese. Let me tell you it was so yummy! I feel a lot better than I have in weeks. It's amazing what a difference a day makes when you eat healthy.

I will keep you posted though out the week on my progress!
