My caloric intake was fabulous yesterday, in fact it was below what it could have been. I broke a rule last night and ate after my 7pm rule. I was feeling so sad and guilty like there is no way out of this one :-(
But I have worked too hard to give up after one bad night that wasn't even bad. I took my measurements after reading an article that says women show fat loss by measuring chest and waist. While men just have to measure their wrist. So since I did take measurements at the beginning of the bet I decided I'm over half way through and it would be a good idea to measure. In the back of my mind though, there was a fear of no change and discouragement. Well since the beginning of the month I had lost 2 inches off my waist. This seems like a small feat but Im only a couple weeks in. I am going to do this. I will not eat past 7pm tonight. I can only speak for tonight as I will take it day by day. I will not get discouraged or overwhelmed by looking at the big picture.
If you had a bad day, dust yourself off and make it better. Look at where you are and where you started. If there is no change, make change today. Sow great seeds and reap amazing harvest. One bad day doesn't mean the rest will be bad days. You are in full control. Know that you will feel like a winner when you wake up tomorrow knowing you conquered. Is what Im putting in my mouth nourishing and healing or is it damaging my body and my spirit? Did God create this food for me or did a factory?
I may not yet be where I want to be, but I am where someone would love to be! Press on!
