So we have 11 Days under our belt. What have you noticed has been the biggest change?
I have to say, for me, it has been quite refreshing to be able to say NO to these desires that I have let rule my life. It has been beautiful to draw near to Jesus and see how he is giving me strength. I am also pretty stoked to have lost 5 pounds in 11 days:)

I'm being intentional and not wasting time. A theme in my life over the past two weeks has been "purpose." It's been in books, conversations, and teachings. I don't just want to go with the flow and do things that are acceptable for the typical middle class American Christian. Two things I need in my life in order to be intentional are: obedience and discipline. I am working on the discipline from a physical standpoint and obedience from a spiritual standpoint and right now that's a rather dynamic combination. I also am going to be much more intentional about the things that come out of my mouth. Joyce Meyer had a little talk with me about that today

Congratulations on the 5 pound of loss Bridget! For me I am loving the grace of God that comes through obedience! I am reading a book about boundaries with kids and it tells us that boundaries with kids work when they see parents that have healthy boundaries. I realize that I want to be a good example of boundaries for my kids not just in food, but on the computer, or the t.v., with how I eat and spend or save money. There is a big picture that I want! I know that a river is beautiful and functional because it's banks create boundaries.
On a side note.....I love that you can save build and save recipes on here so you know exactly what your eating. So helpful!!0 -
Right now, I am slowly starting to notice a change in my body-nothing big though. If I keep up with my cardio as in try to do intense cardio exercises more so than the weight training I have been doing, then I can expect results. I still struggle with back tracking a few times a week but I'm doing better with getting back on track. I hate the way I gain weight very easily but that's ok. So, for me, even though I haven't noticed extreme changes in my physical appearance, I am thankful that God has held on to me and I still push through, even if it's just in the smallest decisions.0

Sarahdanielle: Thank you for your post above. Boy, do I need boundaries in my life. This really convicted me about my tv and computer time. If I am always on the tv or computer, why shouldn't my kids feel that they can do the same? Wow. It's true about setting an example for them. Very powerful. Thank you!0

The biggest change for me has been my awareness, being conscious of the choices I am making. Should I spend time with God or allow myself to get distracted by all the things I have to do to start my day? Do I spend time on the phone or playing with my kids? Do I grab a banana or the delicious donut sitting on the counter? I have noticed that I am consciously making an effort to be present in every area of my life; with God, family, and health. This has been such a blessing! I want to see god move in my life and those around me so I am going to earnestly spend time with Him. I want to see a difference in my weight so I am going to be diligent in eating right and exercise 0

I agree that the biggest change is just being aware of everything, and I have realized that putting my spiritual health above all else just filters into every aspect of my life. I have noticed that my mood has been better and I have more patience than ever. I feel like a better parent and wife. I have found myself having more energy and being more "purposeful" in everything I do. I am excited to see what God has in store for us in this journey!0
