Someone asked me about the name of my blog and my name so I thought I’d just explain in general.

Just 4 today is to remind me that the only day I need to really worry about is today. Just for today, I need to make healthy choices. Just for today, I need to drag my hiney out of bed to exercise in the morning (which I did today). Just for today, I need to eat more veggies and fruit and no junk. Just for today, I need to do and be the best I can be; not just in the weight loss arena but in my Christian walk and life in general. You see, when I get focused on the “out there” it gets overwhelming b/c I do have quite a bit of weight to lose. However, if I tell myself….”just for today….” it breaks it down into increments that I can handle. I find I’m much like Peter in the Bible, if I take my eyes off the main thing and look at the peripheral, I being to sink. So to stay afloat, my philosophy is “just for today”.

Now, my kids ask about my name, Lillie, which isn’t my real name. It’s what my real name means. I use Lillie for the follwoing reasons: 1-I like it. 2-It is sorta my name. 3-I figure if I’m going to be a new me, maybe I need a new name as well. Whaddya think?

I had a very good eating day today although work was stressful. It was my first full day back as caseworker and I was almost almost wishing to be back at the receptionist desk. No stress eating, though, even though one of my cases made me want to pull out my hair. I took a break and went to a local consignment shop and browsed. Then went back and got the thing figured out before leaving work.

That’s it for now. God bless.
