Thursday Thoughts and Progress Report

Scripture for today (from Col. 1) : "To this end I labor, struggling with all HIS energy, which so powerfully works in me."

It's wonderful to be doing this on God's power instead of mine, which is ZIP. The only time I've felt deprived was when I had to pass up Rutha's peanut brittle, and to me that was turkish delight anyway. Remember in "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" when Edmund's craving for turkish delight was so strong that he betrayed his siblings for it? Well, rather than giving me satisfaction like real food does, all Rutha's peanut brittle does is make me want more! In fact, ALL sugar does that for me. So I'm off sugar for at least 40 days, maybe longer. I already know what kind of sugar-free pumpkin dessert I'll have for Thanksgiving, and I'll bring it with me, Ginger. There will be other Thanksgivings. In fact, at my age they roll around quite frequently.

Food:

Breakfast--Curves protein shake

Lunch--Healthy Choice frozen dinner

Snack--a few baby carrots

Supper--grilled chicken, 2 steamed veggies

Exercise--Had to take a day off due to overdoing it the last 3 days. My body is very sore, especially my legs. I forget I'm not as young as I used to be.
