? ? ? Wednesday Vows ? ? ?

Today I vow to: ? Eat fewer than 1200 calories ? Drink a minimum of 80 oz. of water ? Go to church instead of the gym after work ? Start packing for my nine-day trip! I did well yesterday with my vows and I'm now 3 pounds away from the Century Club. How did y'all do and what are you vowing for today? Have a Wonderful Wednesday! DeeDee

Morning DD I did not do very well yesterday. Got my protein in but that was about it. Going to get pics this morning for TT insurance submission. Really nervous-- fearing I will be denied-- not sure I want to go through with it if I am approved-- afraid of where I am at with my "food issues", Read a very good passage in a Joyce Meyer book this morning on self control and it really struck me how lacking control deteriorates our spiritual connection and emotional well-being. I have always known that I guess but needed to hear it again. Today I vow to drink 8 glasses any fluid get the pics taken See ladies for coffee and "uplifting" socialization I would like to say I am going to exercise 1/2 hour but don't want to report I failed. I plan on going to the gym after I get off the 'puter but dang I sure can find other things to do. Congratulations on being 1pd closer to your goal!!! Lucy

Hi Lucy, I have that same devotional by Joyce. Starting Your Day Right. I love that book. It's easy, short day by day reading. I try not to miss a day. She really is encouraging. She devoted a few days of reading on the subject of Self Control. It really has been insightful. I know that I always need to be reminded that I need to use more self control. That is why it's so important for me to daily renew my mind in Christ. Thank you Lucy for sharing this w/us today. I will keep you in my prayers regarding your TT approval. Have a Blessed Day!

Good Afternoon! I slept in today and had some phone calls so I didn't post my committments earlier. I figured out how to keep me from overeating. Shop, shop, shop!!!! I went shopping yesterday and was so busy that I didn't take the time to sit and have lunch. I did have a protein bar w/me, so I had that at least. I was gone all day and didn't get home until 8 last night. Then I had a late dinner. If only I could shop everyday.LOL.....I managed to get all my water in because I take it w/me to the stores. I also got the treadmill out of the way early. So over all I did pretty well. (I did eat my din din kinda fast though). Still working on that one. Good for you DeeDee on having only 3 to go. Remember that you might be carrying some water retention, being that time of the month. Don't fret it. You are doing awesome! Today I will: 1.Get ALL my Water in. 2.Get ALL my Protein in. 3.Eat SLOWER! 4.Do the Treadmill. 5.No eating after 7:30. 6.Make some important calls. 7.Rest today. (Shopping can really tire one out) LOL.... Knowing we can be successful today at whatever we put our minds to doing. Your Gastric Buddy, Jeannie
