Well, it appears as though I've lost a pound this week. Hurray!! Though, I always feel as though I ought to have lost more with all the walking I'm doing and sweating on that treadmill and with making a huge effort to eat well, too.

I guess it's going to be slow going to get these last few pounds off and I'll just have to accept that.

Tips from Anne, for those who don't go back in and read the comments:

  • Drink warm water to speed digestion.
  • Even before snacks, stop and lift a prayer of thanks and asking for God to bless you with the nourishment from the snack. It's hard to chomp on a candy bar when you've just suggested to God that it's nourishing. A couple of the times I've done this this week, I've found myself switching snacks mid prayer.

Thanks, Anne for helping me (us) out with these suggestions! I'm trying the warm water now.


Surrendering to Him,

Eileen

Eileen, you're welcome! Thanks for the mention.

You would bring all this up today. Since I just finished pizza, I'm dreading a weigh-in come morning. 8 oz of pizza = 2 lbs around the middle. But I did thank the Lord for the pizza! :D

I'm off for an almost hot glass of water now.
