Trying something different this week

I've decided to try something different this week. I'm going to stick to fruits and veggies for snacks and Smart Ones or Lean Quezines(sp) for meals. Portion control continues to be a problem for me and also the mentality that once I've blown it, I might as well blow it good. I also have a bad habit of eating fast. I work lunch or snacks in to my work day in 2-3 minutes sometimes when I get a little break in the action.

My holiday crunch is starting this week and goes until after Christmas, so if you want to pray for me I would appreciate that. I would ask that you pray that I can stay focused on being healthy and in conscience contact with God through the long work days and holiday goodies.....ugh!

I'm still on the 3rd step. Obviously, if I'm not able to control my portions yet, I have not turned my will over to God. This is so hard. It is like wanting something so badly and you can almost touch it but it moves a few step away as you arrive. I have so much respect for people who can eat in a normal controlled fashion. One of my biggest regrets of late is that I let things get this far because it is a long way back. I will continue to try, one day at a time, to become a normal eater.

You guys are awesome, thank you again for your support.

Leeann, I didn't do my push ups yet. I am going to try to start tonight, please be praying for my back to handle them, I have a lower back issue, so basically what doesn't kill me may be helping me, but I have to be careful not to put it completely out during Christmas stuff. I'm going to push it to the very limit though, count on it.

Leeann and I have been building up from 25 to now 60 sit-ups a day adding 10 a week and now we are adding push-ups to the game. She has been through so much in the last few months and that she continues to support me while dealing with so many family issues is amazing to me. Thank you Leeann. She has also challenged a few friends to join us so I am now challenging you! Believe me it is better with accountability and loving friends rooting you on! Let me know if your joining us.
