Still At It....

I'm still at it.

But, I won't lie...

This summer has been hard.

Really hard.

And, I feel I have failed more than I have succeeded.

But, the mere fact that I am persevering after nine months

 on The Daniel Plan speaks volumes.

   

I'm still running.

But, I'm slow.

But, I'm running.

So, there's that.

Told you....I'm slow.

 

The weight loss plateaued a bit this summer.  

But, I'm kicking it back into high gear this fall.

There will be more of this...

And, less of this.

And, I have embraced the small set-backs this summer.

I am a firm believer that failures are part of our successes.

"The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.  If you want to change how you act, you must begin by changing the way you think.  Your thoughts are the autopilot of your life."

The Daniel Plan

--Rick Warren

 After nine months, I am still working on those thoughts.  But, I have embraced the philosophy that every bite I take is a "powerful opportunity to create healing or infirmity."

"The two most important words in the English language when it comes to your health...

THEN WHAT???"

If I drink this Diet Coke, THEN WHAT???

Migraines.

If I eat this cupcake, THEN WHAT???

Weight gain, bloating, & migraines.

If I go to the gym today after work, THEN WHAT???

Clarity, weight loss & better health.

If I drink this water, THEN WHAT???

Glowing skin, weight loss & hydration.

So, I ask myself a LOT....

THEN WHAT???

It is with renewed commitment that I am facing this fall.  I have set goals & I am excited to reach them with HIS help.

THE DANIEL PLAN 

Psalm 25:15 (MSG)

If I keep my eyes on God,

I won't trip over my own feet.
