Today, and for the past few days I have been trying the Encouragement challenge from another mindsay user. The challenge is not going to be mentioned in detail for fear of ruining the effects it might have on my life, but I wanted to mention it because I have not been doing great at it. I need to be more encouraging to my friends and loved ones with out the sting of criticism! I am going to start again today, to be more loving, caring and humble to others needs. I have bible verses sitting around here talking about being a servant, and I have not been doing that. Maybe I need to heed my own warnings and pray about relinquishing my control and being more of a servant!!
I also wanted to comment on my blog from the other day, Man o man was I having a fat day! Whew... I said it. I have been trying to lose weight and it is so hard. I am going to keep on trucking though! I have been using my jump rope... getting my $5 worth! :) I have also been cutting my portion sizes, which is very hard for me because I just gorge...I am feeling very encouraged today. My Mom has been trying this diet called something like MUFA, and it has been working for her. She has lost like 5 pounds and I am very proud of her!! I hope she can be my inspiration to keep pushing myself. I mean, I am trying to be a skinny mini or anything, I just want to be the size I was when I got married... (3 years ago tomorrow, go team!!! )
That is actually a pretty big accomplishment considering I have gained 50 pounds since then!! Well, enough of me griping, please pray for me to have endurance and God's grace as I try & continue my encouragement challenge as well as my weight loss efforts.
God Bless <><
love
