Planning!

DAY 38 and counting!

Ladies!!! WE ARE DOING THIS!! OH MY GOODNESS! ARE WE EXCITED OR WHAT????? The emails I got today were SO encouraging. This may sound strange, but I am hoping these next 38 days DON'T pass too quickly. I am enjoying the newfound camaraderie (cuz we are all workin' towards the same goal). It's just great knowing there is an army working together, struggling together, laughing together, and hoping together.

I saw Sister "Sweet Tea" tonight at church. God bless her for pressing into Jesus for the strength to drink the cod liver oil (mint flavored of course). Plus the green pond water-I mean nutrition drink that she has to choke-I mean drink-down. (I think she turned green as she described it to me)

Soooooo the men are taking steps to be healthy!! WOW! My husband started, too. MMMHMMM. I find myself constantly asking my husband, "Would you like some cheese with your whine?" He swears that he is hungry all the time! (Welcome to my world, buddy) But I think if he planned his meals out at work it would solve the problem. Let's give God thanks for the men coming on board!

I am finding that planning is 100% necessary. I found myself running on E today as I was food shopping. I had to bust open some blueberries and eat 'em up cuz I was having a stare down with ciabatta bread..guess who was winning?The fruit brought my sugar up so I was fine..but I must plan better.

I hate ants. They get everywhere in the summer if you're not careful. I just wanna wipe them out. Actually, I have wiped them out, literally, in my house. I was bothered by them getting in the house from the deck. I doused them with windex (it drowns them) and then I wiped them up. WALLA. DUMB ANTS!

But the Word of God commends these little creatures. UGHHHH!!!!!

"Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest." (Proverbs 6:6-8)

Now I KNOW we are not gonna allow an ant to have "ONE UP" on US. NO WAY. Let's focus on planning today. Remember if we "FAIL TO PLAN, WE PLAN TO FAIL!"

Lord Jesus, help us to plan our meals, exercise, and most importantly, seek Your face daily. Let this be the day that we encourage ourselves, as well as others, to focus on planning for success. Thank you!
