Enemy back off!

This last week was not so great. Somewhere along the way I got ambushed by the same old thoughts - you'll never make it, just because you've done well for a few days doesn't mean you can see thru til the end, etc.

Well - whatever! He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world! I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.

We are leaving tomorrow to go camping and I plan to do a lot of hiking. Next week the scale will report good things.

I am re-focused and my thoughts are toward the strength that come thru Christ alone.

Praise the Lord!

I jumped on the scale this morning....or more accurately, softly and gingerly stepped on the scale this morning.....I am down 1.5 pounds from Monday. wow. All of the glory is God's. I am praying everyday - Lord help me to make wise decisions. Let the desire to enlarge my territory outweigh the temptation to eat yukkyness. Praise His Holy Name. I've still got such a long way to go and I haven't even incorporated any real exercise or play into my day.....just walking back and forth to the restroom way more times in the day!

The Lord is my Rock and my Salvation! He is an everlasting peace in my soul. My heart leaps within me.

We've pulled out of the driveway.

Took my official beginning weight today. From where I was one week ago until this morning - I have lost 9 pounds. Of that - I would say that 3-4 are legit. The rest was hormonal. I am spending each day thanking God and asking Him to continue to help me make wise decisions and better decisions.

I am so excited to see the way that God moves in my life.

Not much more to say tonight. Off to read just wanted to acknowledge that the first week of this journey was awesome! In the scheme of things - I've really just pulled out of the driveway. There is a long road ahead of me. But it is not a long and dreary road - it is a road that will be full of adventure, some trials, some victories and life in general. Praise God - He is driving!
