HAPPY THURSDAY FROM TEXAS !!!!

Hi there I've had a very sucessful week and just had to share it I have been off track for several months with no weight loss at all and still have about 50 pounds to lose. So this week I have really pushed the water and stayed on protein drinks and no extra carbs...If I have the urge to graze I grab a piece of sugar free gum. It has been really hard I have to tell ya but I feel so much better about myself. I haven't stepped on the scales but my pants are looser around the waist..not a lot but noticable. I was really scared that the OLD WAYS were going to be in control again forever. I've been very specific in my prayers this week to. I know what my weak spots are and I've been pouring my heart out to Heavenly Father to keep me from giving in to the stuff I don't need to be putting in this mouth...haha He has heard my prayers and helped me soooooooooo much this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I work a four day work week now so today is my friday... Take care and stay strong. Alfie

Good job Alfie. I think we tend to forget our partner in this journey. I think we tend to forget to ask our Heavenly Father to help us. I'm speaking for myself here, I tend to think that I shouldn't bother my HF with something as trivial as helping me with food cravings. I think I should be saving His time and energy for the bigger issues. I KNOW that He wants us to come to Him with everything, even if it's about my food cravings. Thanks for the reminder and the post. Glad you've had a good week. Melody

Thats great Alfie. It is hard and yes it is work, but putting Heavenly Father first can make the path a little easier to walk. I hope that you are patient and get to your goal. Christy

Alfie, Thanks for the great reminder in keeping everything in perspective. I always think Heavenly Father has so many problems much bigger than mine so never want to bother him with my struggles with this weightloss journey. I have been at a dead standstill for months now and need to get back with the program. I'm trying but guess I need to humble myself a little more and accept the fact that I can't do this by myself. Thanks again! Sharon

Thanks Sharon and everyone..wow what a week this has been. Not as good as last week but guess they can't all be great. The weather her in Texas is a tease right now. We have georgeousl spring days and cold nights. The days are giving me a bad case of spring fever...haha Take care everyone Alfie

No teasing with the weather here in Utah. We have had 3 spring snow storms in the past week! Each time I had at least 5 inches in my yard! Yesterday, my normal 25 minute commute to work took me 2 hours! Today, it has been quite nice, almost 50 degrees. Saturday, it is supposed to be cold and rainy/snowy again. Gotta love SPRINTER in Utah! : )
