I shut my eyes and stepped on the scale today. That wasn't easy because if you will recall, I forgot to weigh in last Friday because of getting all of us packed due to the couples retreat and getting the mural hung at church. We ate like royalty...all my favorites at once it seemed...TEE HEE I was really struggling all week and I didn't not stick to plan even one day. Not gross quantities or anything like that...but sneaking foods when I felt like it. Sin is sin however...regardless of how small or big. I was truly expecting an 8-10 lb gain due to higher sodium intake and extra calories. I admit that did say an excited "thank you Lord for not giving me what I deserved" as I stepped off the scale and it showed only a 2.3 lb gain. I did add more exercise this past week because the weather is getting nicer so that was a huge help, I am sure. I am fairly certain the gain is mostly water gain due to sodium contents in the foods I was choosing to eat.
Where do I go from here? I don't waste the mercy I was shown, that is for sure. Back on track and looking forward to increasing my daily walk length. My foot pain has been acting up so I will need to increase slower than I would like but I am looking forward to 2 mile walks with my dog in due time.
I was reminded of 1 Corinthians
10:13 this morning "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it." I need to claim that verse and dig my heels in and get serious!
