"Seriously! It's NOT a diet"

Thanking God for His Amazing Grace & Mercy each day. Each new day is also a opportunity to make healthy life choices regardless of what the day before was like. One day at a time!

All this wintery weather has got to go...it is seriously hindering my walking...lol! I know I've said it in the past, BUT do you know how many calories you can save in a day by making small changes??? Use Olive oil Mayo or Light Mayo, Applesauce in place of oil for baked items, Light dressings, Baking instead of frying, fruit instead of sweet, just simple exchanges really add up. If you are craving a candy bar get a fun size one instead of the regular size.
Yes, making the right food choices can be difficult especially if you are having health issues, BUT continuing down the course of a healthy lifestyle CAN still be achieved. Don't give up!!!

It's Sunday, the day I normally treat my self with a free day to have that one thing I've wanted all week, however today I am a bit careful to do that, after yesterdays lunch....lol. Please keep me in your prayers I will starting chemo this week, but I am going to do my best not to let that trip me up and gain weight. You would think on chemo you would loose weight but its sometimes not the case with the steriods you take it can make the scales be unkind. I have learned a WHOLE new respect for weight loss, medical conditions can make our best laid plan for getting to/ staying at a healthy weight tricky! We aren't to judge anyone, but especially don't be hasty to jump out and say .....here's a 3 point plan for healthy living, you can do it too. We never know what someone may be going through with their health that by looking at them you can't see. Yes, I lost 120lbs ...PTL, but I've learned a whole new level of compassion in the area of weight loss. Thanks for your prayers!!!

Very excited to get to walk, it's not the same as the gym, but at least it will burn some calories. Due to starting chemo my gym plans will have to be put on hold for a bit, thankful just to be moving!!! I will be using a DVD to walk with, I'll let you know how it goes!!!

Normally I avoid all you can eat restaurant's because getting correct portions/ calorie count is often difficult. As well as the temptation to eat more than you should is high. So, today I will see if I pass the test????? My churches Ladies ministry is having a luncheon, so my goal today is focus on the fellowship NOT the food.

Oatmeal is a great way to start your morning, low calories and helps bring down cholesterol! If we will eat wisely, we can save a lot of calories, use egg substitute instead of an egg, olive oil mayo, (it's half the calories), use PB2 instead of peanut butter, ground turkey and the list could go on. If we save a calorie here & there you will be amazed at how they add up. It's being a good steward with our food choices. We wouldn't blow our money unwisely, let's not blow our healthy eating either. Just something to think about.

Love the new wholesome options at Cracker Barrel!!! The calories are listed in the menu for those items, way to go Cracker Barrel!!!!

In an earlier post I shared a friends status about goals, what are your? What are we doing to reach those goals?
The bible says in Habakkuk 2:2
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. I believe writing your healthy life goals down is huge to your success, write it & run with it. Make a plan to succeed or plan nothing and do the same old things you have done. 2014 what are we doing with it?
