This was a great day..All my vitamins, all my water (and then some), my exercises TWICE..and my numbers are good. Whew..

How did you do?

I gave in to temptation.
I weighed myself on Sunday morning, then promised myself that I wouldnt weigh in again until the following Sunday. I made it through half the week, anyway.....
The good news is that the scale is moving down again! I really like the calorie cycling because it feels like I have a couple of 'cheat' days each week.

It is still raining here in NorCal, but we can definitely use the water. Happy Hump Day!

I need to get to the grocery store tomorrow after work. There dont appear to be any green leafy veggies left in my humble aboad. Lettuce, baby spinach, and lots of cucumbers just for me (since I know my husband and son certainly wont eat it)!

Even though the Bs@W are trying their best to kill me, each day gets better as the week goes on. I know its a contradiction, but i feel like i have the Armor of God on & have come to the conclusion that i WILL Stand in the face of those who try & pull me down. I will continue to do the great job Ive been doing for the past 3 years. I will continue to make great strides in my career & show those higher up that I am driven & capable of accomplishing great things!

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

I couldnt' live without my scale and my measuring cups..I have weighed and measured so much in the last five years that I can pretty much guess when I'm out of the house but when I'm home..I put that piece of meat on the scale for SURE...It's best to know.

Keep up the good work..See ya.
