Gained a bit as of yesterday, not much...half a pound, which today became a little more...
I am up .8. LOL Most of you will say, what?! Thats not much! True, but since I have 140 pounds to lose, any poundage going in the wrong direction gets my attention. I don't think I am where I need to be in my food choices yet. However, I forgive myself. LOL Yeah, I forgive myself. This is my life and I did the best I could do yesterday, and the day before. Maybe I didn't do the BEST I COULD DO...but, I did the best I could do then. Today is a new day. New choices. New mercies. New insight. This is my life. God is helping me whether I feel Him or not. He is always there.. I move (exercise) how I can work it in today. I work with the foods I have and believe that I will make better choices. I ask Him to help me remember to get all my glasses of water in daily (1/2 my weight in ounces - which I have NOT gotten in for the last 2 days). And I know I need to watch my sodium. I think I eat too many carbs. Not according to the "goal setter" here on My Fitness Pal...but maybe if I want to lose weight I need to cut more.

A new thing presented itself to me yesterday in a video from Dr. Don Colbert. He has a new book out called The Keto Zone Diet. Sounded really good. I think I will purchase this and read how to better choose food that will place me in that fat burning zone. The products seem expensive, but if they last a long time and are only used to get the weight off and not as a permanent part of my life, maybe it will be worth it. After all I did pay the $400.00 to do the 20/30 Fast Track Program. Took 75 pounds off with that! My downfall there was in my emotions and how I react to things. God is working with me on this issue which has been a problem all my life. But I have a new life today. I am new today, and I will be new tomorrow. Begin again.

* "His mercies are new to me every morning."
* "Joy comes in the morning, weeping only lasts for the night,"
* "This one thing I do, forgetting that which is behind, and looking forward to that which is ahead, I press toward the mark for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
* "The God of all hope fills me with joy and peace as I trust in Him, by the power of the Holy Spirit within me."
* "I trust in the Lord with all of my heart and I don't lean to my own understanding. In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He IS directing my paths."

You may think I am taking this to an extreme over .8 of a pound. But I know me. I need God's Word living in me to put me over. And I have found that speaking God's Word out loud helps me beyond my understanding. I just know it does, I have proved it.

I am smiling, and ready to Begin Again.
