Life as a princess - one day at a time

Brand new day. A new day to try to eat healthy. So far I am doing good and I am proud of myself for making it all the way through yesterday! Not sure what tonight will bring. I am craving something sweet. Trying to think of something sweet and healthy that you can have a lot of, but nothing is coming to mind. What is coming to mind is the Ben & Jerry's Phish Food that has been sitting in the freezer yelling loudly through the door. We shall see who comes out victorious.

Spent the day making calls and cleaning up files. If you know me I am not a fan of calling strange people on the phone (a phobia of mine since I was a kid), but I made it through unharmed. The cleaning also went well. It surprising how much you hang on to thinking you may need it later, only to realize it was really only good for one use. Also cleaning up picture files which will make the IT guys happy. I can hear them frown every time I come to them with my computer needs.

I am looking forward to tomorrow. I like Home League, Bible Study & ARP Chapel.

God thank you for helping me get through yesterday, help me get through the rest of the night.

Life as a princess and an overeater

Today I am proud of myself - so far. I have been really good at not over eating. I even got in a little exercise. Trying to follow in the footsteps of a friend and did not drink any soda today, not even diet. I usually drink soda because it is easy to grab, you don't need to pour it, you don't need to make it. All you have to do is pop a tab and your in. Obviously I have become lazy when it comes to drinking. Well not today, and hopefully not tomorrow. My goal is simple no soda for a week.

I am not going to set any huge goals this time. When I do, I often fail. The task feels to big to overcome. We are going to take this one day at a time (maybe even a week at a time). If I can tackle the day I am more likely to overcome the week.

I love my friends and army family, but I need your help with eating healthier. Please make a figure friendly option. To often I am faced with yummy rich foods. Lets face it I am weak when it comes to food. So please help me by not suggesting I try just a little. That is how I fell the last time. Don't be offended when I say no thanks, I know my limitations.

And to myself. I know some snacks are not that bad if you eat them in moderation. Lets face it you are not good at moderation when it comes to food. Go back to eating the 100 calorie snacks. The other food is just to tempting. You say you will eat just one, but I have rarely seen that happen. Go down the fruits and veggie isle and buy fruit and veggies. Once you have them at home, eat them and don't let them go to waist.

God thank you for loving me, help me to live a life that is pleasing to you, even in the area of food.
