Howdy! I weighed in at my MIL's and I lost 2 pounds this week. :o) ...I will not be jealous of Howie, I will not be jealous of Howie...
Things have slowed down a little for me loss-wise and I need get my metabolism working more. Cleaning the closets in our house is helping, but I'm going to run out of closets, LOL. It's sunny and warm today (near 60F they say) so we're taking a picinic to the arboretum and we'll walk some there, too.
Oh...And we survived our trip to East of Chicago's buffet yesterday. We ate a little less than we'd planned on, and we didn't walk out with that overstuffed, sick feeling. I'd say that was a successful splurge.
Today's Devotional:
There is a gruesome children's story about a little girl who ate so much that she could no longer move. Then it began to rain, and she died of drowning. Sometimes we try to use terror tactics to get children to do what they should do and avoid things that are bad for them. By the time we're adults, we have forgotten the lessons we were taught as children. There is nothing of any lasting good to be gained by overeating. We need to turn away from what we know is bad, to something better. We need to take seriously the consequences of gluttony, and turn toward God, who will help us change our ways.
Today's Thought: I must set my mind on more important things than food!
