Today is Wednesday, December 14, 2005
First of all, I'd like to ask for prayers for my friend Diane's son, Drew. He's a juvenile diabetic and is having an endoscopy today to determine if he has Celiac's Disease. Secondly, my brother-in-law's father is having open heart surgery today, and I know that the family would really appreciate any prayers for Charlie. He's such a dear, sweet man.
People are dealing with so much in this world, and what's my biggest "problem" of the day--how fat I am! Seriously, I got on the scale this morning and then jumped off so fast, I almost fell down! Such is my life. . .the battle continues.
So, what am I going to do for myself today?
1. Devotions--I read a beautiful devotional this morning by John Fischer at the Purpose Driven Life.
2. Vitamins--I took my meds this morning, but forgot about the vitamins. . .as soon as I'm done here.
3. Water--yesterday I drank loads of decaf and not enough water. Today will be different.
4. Exercise--yesterday I walked about 17 min. on the treadie. Today I'll do the full 30.
5. Food--oatmeal surprise for breakfast. Lunch will be a salad. Dinner will be a sandwich and fresh veggies.
6. Scale--194.
Still feeling kind of headachey, but I know this too will pass. It's not a big deal. Otherwise, I'm feeling good.
Yesterday's biggest victory was getting back on the s.f. wagon. We had three class parties filled with munchkins, brownies, chocolate-covered pretzels, etc. I was able to refuse them all. Knowing that all those goodies just make me feel yukky helped me to stay strong. You live and you learn, right? Today there are two more parties--I'm hoping to stay on the right path.
That's all for now.
Love to all,
Erin
