Had my appointment with my primary care doctor today, and he was thrilled with my blood pressure, my breathing and my weight. I had lost another 3 lbs since I had seen him in February, and he was very pleased with that. He told me that he doesn't care if I lose another pound, as long as I don't gain now.
This week has been a decent week, I have manged to maintain my weight this week. I have been working in the yard, and yard work is actually very good exercise. This morning I was listening to Joyce Meyer and she was talking about how we allow things to control us, and how if we say we live in the Holy Spirit, we don't have to be controlled by habits. Example for myself: "Those cookies are calling my name". Well, she said I don't have to be controlled by those cookies, if I live in the spirit I should be able to ignore the cookies and call on the Holy Spirit to help me. It sounds like a very simple process, and I agree with her, but why isn't it as as simple as it sounds? While listening to her message I started to reflect on my thoughts about chocolate, ice cream and just sweets in general, I realized that if I could remember to call on the Spirit every time I get tempted I should be able to lose the last 20 lbs. I want to lose. Therefore, my challenge and/or goal for myself over the next week is to try to concentrate instead of "subconsciensly" eating, and try to focus more on calling on the Holy Spirit to help me draw the line,and see if I can make any headway in my attempt to lose the last 20 pounds.
