However, I did want to write something. Yes, I am still reading my book and loving it! It has so many wonderful tips and amazing thoughts about turning my unhealthy lifestyle around. Recently, I have read the next two chapters in the book. One thought that has stayed in my head is how she constantly reminds us that "I was/am made for more" Wow. God made me in His image to glorify Him above all things. I was made for a lot more than eating junk and being lazy on the couch! I have really tried to put that into practice this past week. Just when I'm really craving whatever it may be I stop and think, "Stephanie, you were made for more than just eating that ____ " It makes me stop and think through things. If I eat this it will lead to me craving more.....then will I really feel like exercising later with all that in me? Probably not. And the cycle could continue!
I got brave (even though I said I wasn't for a few weeks) and got on the scale Sunday. I am down 8.5 pounds! So I probably did put a few back on those couple of weeks I slipped up, but I was pleased to see that I was getting closer to a 10 pound mark!!
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
