April 2023 - Daily Accountability/Lifestyle Change - Everyone Welcome!
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Check-In! Let's make it a great month!
I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.
Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.
Thank you Diana for always being here to start the month off right
WI yep past the danger zone now
WO Packing! I tackled the garage today and was pretty successful There is one shelf we will leave and take down when we return to sell the house.
Tue & Wed we spread out 6 yards of bark/mulch in our flower beds, took a pickup load to the land fill. The electrician comes on Monday to replace the service panel. Then we plan to leave on Wednesday after the morning commute!
I woke too early this morning and I'm feeling cold and sleepy.

James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a magic wand that we could wave, and suddenly the pounds would melt from our flesh and we would be the perfect weight? I know of no one who would choose the rigors and demands of a diet over a magic wand. Unfortunately, there are no magic wands, and the only way we can lose weight is to set ourselves to the task-body, mind, and spirit. We need to ask God's help, that we might remain committed to the task no matter how long it takes. When we call on the Lord, He will grant us the patience we so badly need.
Today's thought: The longer the wait, the less the weight!

Yangtzer I really just do whatever I have time for. I try to get 2 or 3 strength training workouts a week. I do enjoy swimming but the whole swimming process takes longer.
Good morning! Did 3 miles Leslie Sansone yesterday afternoon. Went for a second power walk and ran errands. My fitness goals for Saturday have been attained. Will be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed. 😁🐇😷🐰
I would love to have an elliptical at the house. Unfortunately we don't have an extra inch of space.

Hebrews 10:36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
It seemed like forever before any weight came off. Gerri had cut way back on her food intake and exercised daily. It had been frustrating to step up on the scales day after day to find no real change. She stuck with the diet despite her despair, and now four weeks into the program it was paying off. People were beginning to notice the difference in her. What had seemed so painfully slow, one pound every few days, had finally added up, and she was thrilled. Waiting a little while had paid off, waiting a little more didn't seem nearly as hard.
Today's thought: I can take this diet one day at a time!
