2 Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Barrie never felt good after stuffing himself. He felt weighted down and slow. He was grumpy and irritable. He usually felt sick. Still, when food was around, he couldn't help himself. Other people would watch him eat, and he could tell they thought it was a disgrace. What could he do? Nobody understood how hard it was for him. He wanted to lose weight and pass by second and third helpings, but he just didn't have the willpower. Too bad Barrie didn't have the support of good Christian friends and a commitment to sacrificing for God. With that kind of support, anyone can hope to lose weight.
Today's thought: There's no reason for me to face my diet alone!
Good afternoon! Power walked to and home from lunch. Ran errands on the way home. Took down the load of laundry that I hung up this morning. It smelled so nice!
Rachel-great job on the weight loss of 2.5 lbs!!! That is terrific!!! You did a fantastic job.
Diana-Currently I am on vacation so I have limited access to the internet. I will not be able to post and review items every day. However, feel free to keep the challenge going. I’ll be back soon.
Psalm 37:40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Beth thought the program would never end. It had taken her years to control her weight, and it was still hard to be around scrumptious food for very long without overindulging. All through the evening, heavenly plates of food moved around the room. It was all Beth could do to resist. Whenever the temptation arose, she closed her eyes and quietly prayed to God for strength. It seemed like an eternity, but the evening finally ended, and she had somehow made it through. With a sigh of relief, she said a quick prayer of thanks as she walked to her car.
Good afternoon! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone this morning. Power walked and ran errands before I went to thrift shop. Power walked to and home from the thrift shop. Ran errands on the way home. Will go for another power walk and run more errands later on today.
Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Kerry knew God loved her when she was fat, but she felt His love so much more now that she was thin. She knew it had nothing to do with how much God really loved her, but with how much she loved herself. Now, she could look in the mirror without shame blushing her cheeks. Now, she could hold her head up and not worry about what other people thought of her. Once she had been a slave to her body. Now she was free to be everything she wanted to be. She had once believed she would never be free of the weight that burdened her not only physically, but emotionally, too. God indeed worked wonders!
Today's thought: With God's help, I will be free from fat.
Spent the day, packing up our kitchen, moving all items downstairs. I did keep the essentials upstairs on the dinning room table. Then I went to work on demo!!! got all the cabinet doors off the molding down. Then when DH came home we removed the upper cabinets. I am going to put up some kiltz then paint tomorrow. Saturday we will take out the lower cabinets and appliances. Then I will repeat with the kitlz and paint. Since I don't know exactly where the new cabinets will hit the wall I don't want to try and paint around them.
Then if that was not enough I mowed our front and back lawns LOL. I am whipped tonight.

Good night all! Nancy, I got tired just reading your post! You got a lot done today. I also had a busy day. I went for three power walks and did 2 miles Leslie Sansone. I went to the farmers market this afternoon. I only bought a chocolate chip cookie today. It was delicious! My fitness goals for today have been attained.
