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.

Here's to the start of a great month!

Proverbs 2:10-11, 20
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

Knowing what is right and doing what is right are completely different matters. Jessica knew she should lose weight, and she knew the way to do that was to cut back on what she was eating. The problem was that she didn't want to give up any of the foods she loved. She just wasn't committed enough. A friend of hers told her that she had all the knowledge she needed in her head, but none of it was in her heart. The reason she couldn't stick to her diet was that she didn't want to lose weight badly enough. When we find ourselves lacking the proper desire, we need to turn to the Lord, to ask His strength for doing what we know to be right.

Today's thought: Dieting is more than a matter of the mind. It's a matter o f the heart!

Hi Chicks!

Wow, it’s July already! The year is half over. Time sure does fly. I want to enjoy the summer while I have it. Hope you do too.

Exercised good this morning. Meals have been good so far. Time to do some major house cleaning. That will keep me busy today. Take care.

Good evening! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone this morning before I left for work. Power walked and ran errands before I punched in. My sister picked me up at work. We went to Spectrum to request that one of the cable boxes be replaced and to make a change to the account. We requested a technician come to set it up and to teach us how to run it.

Diana, I agree with Nancy about my gratitude to you for faithfully starting the new thread each month! It is like family!

Daily Plan: 1200-1500 calories, 2 liters water, veggies, vit/min/calcium x2 supp., 30 minutes exercise.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I worked in the church office yesterday and didn't get a chance to do much during the day. By evening it was raining. I had an opportunity to go to bed early, so that's what I did.

I agree about the check in being like family. It felt weird not checking in last night but I knew if I did I wouldn't get off the computer until late.

Ciecie That was nice that your Sister was able to pick you up from work.

Nancy Hang in there with the remodel. Lot's of work!

Rachel Check in when you can.

SinaRose House work is a workout! Yay for getting back on track post vacation.

Steps for yesterday: 4,148

Have a Blessed day and stay safe and healthy!

Luke 21:19
'In your patience possess ye your souls.'

Arlene asked the Lord for just a little more patience. She looked at the clock. She had eaten lunch just three hours before, and now her stomach was telling her to eat again. She knew she really couldn't need food again so soon. She concentrated all her attention on the project she was working on and repeated again and again that she wasn't hungry. Before she knew it, she was finishing the project, her hunger had died down, and it was almost five o'clock. Quickly, Arlene thanked God for helping her hang on awhile. It wasn't nearly as hard to get by with God giving her strength and support.

Today's thought: Decide to control your stomach instead of letting it control you!

[nancylmrn]

Good night all! Not much exercise today. Will be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed.

[SinaRose]

Today I did a modified workout. My body said it needed a bit of rest. I hate getting old. I still think I can do everything I use to do and really I can’t. Now I know how my old dog feels. ☺️

My meals were pretty good today but I could improve on them. I will. Coming up soon.

Matthew 10:22
'And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

'Christ has a powerful lesson for those who choose to diet. Dieting makes us different, and it is never easy to be different. Being Christians made the disciples different, and they had to suffer many things for their difference. People who are different are often excluded by others. Sometimes they are even abused and persecuted for their differences. There was only one reason the disciples were able to persevere in their faith, and that was the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. That same Spirit can give us the power to be different and the strength to persevere, even through a tough diet.

Today's thought: Christ helps those who choose to be different!
