How did you do last night? I did pretty good. This morning I had a granola bar for breakfast and I brought some soup for lunch!! I am feeling excited and motivated to my "new beginning"!!! I had a comment that suggested we set small goals. So I am going to set a small goal. My goal is to loose at least 15 pounds before the end of April!! Are you going to set a goal? If so please leave a comment and share that with us so we can hold each other accountable!
Here is my dieters prayer for today!
New Beginnings
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
Isaiah 43:18-19
Food for Thought
I can begin again!
A Prayer for Power
Dear God, thank You that You are a God of new beginnings! You didn’t stop creating on the sixth day but continue to create and re-create this world and his person that I am. I confess that is it hard for me to begin again. I’m afraid to try to change because I’ve failed so many times before. But this time I know: You don’t waste any pain or any failure. And You never give up! You never throw up Your hands, walk away, and say, “That’s it! You’ll never change!” Instead, You are wholly and happily ready every day to begin all over again with me. Just as the sun rises new each day, so do my opportunities for new beginnings and totally fresh starts. Help me to remember that as I take small steps toward You, You are always reaching out to help me and You are rejoicing in my progress. Your focus is not on the distance gained or the final destination. Let’s begin again, God. Right now. Amen.
The Dieter’s Prayer Book, Heather Harpham Kopp

What a great motivation!
You CAN do it!! I know you can!
How about a challenge? No buying scrapbook supplies until we lose 15 pounds?!!!!
Can you do it?
Very inspirational! We really can do this, I know we can.
My goal is to lose 20 lbs by June! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And to be honest with you, I really shouldn't be using lbs as my goal. I hardly ever lose much weight, I usually just lose inches. So, it will be either 20 lbs or 3 inches in my waist and hopefully another 3 inches total everywhere else.
Now as for the no buying scrapbook supplies,hmmmm not sure about that, lol, but I will give it a try.
Today I walked 1 1/4 miles and I had a cheese omelet for breakfast and chicken cutlet for lunch. Lots of water!
