January 20 and Wednesday Weigh In

Not a lot to say, still working at it. Fell of the bandwagon over the weekend but still managed to lose three pounds over the week. I'm at 306 with a total of ten pounds lost.

January 13 and 14

Work was crazy but I went on a walk both days and did well in the eating department. This is going to be a short post.

Weigh In Wednesday - 309

I dropped seven pounds from last Wedensday when I was 315. Sweet!

January 12

I did very well today. I ate a breakfast of cereal and a banana. Then I met with a friend for a few hours and just had some coffee. After coffee I ran some errands and then came home and ate some lunch (lasagna and some humus with pita chips). At work I refrained from snacking better than I have in the past. I only ate one helping for dinner. I had a piece of cheese for a snack and a bite size Crunch bar. I also took a snack of vegetable crisps (kind of like potato chips) for a snack when the kids were having their snack. When I came home from work, I didn't eat anything and then fixed our internet and went to bed.

Today was a different day from any other one so far this year. We had some friends visit from out of town and we went up into the mountains, so it was a lot of good food and good beer. I honestly didn't over eat and was active in walking around some mountain towns, but there was also a lot of sitting and driving. But it's okay, because today was a celebration day, celebrating being with friends.

Where is God in this?

My posts so far have been focused on what I have done and eaten, but a major factor in this life change is where I am at with God and how God is having an influence in this change. I haven't been as good about praying for God guidance and help with this change as I need or want to be. So a further resolve is daily focused prayer about these sins in my life. I am more often then not praying as I go rather than setting time apart for God. He has blessed me already with perseverance he as given me.

Sunday was very good overall. I had some coffee and half a bagel for breakfast. Then we went to a meeting at church and we were at church until around noon. We then went to Petsmart so my wife could pick out her fish for her fish tank (one of her Christmas presents). I then shoveled the driveway. I ate lunch which was the leftovers from dinner the night before (half a hamburger and some french fries) and some summer sausage with crackers. We then spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning out the basement (whacked my head a few times cleaning out from underneath the stairs, I wonder how many times that will happen in the next 30 years). We then went to my in-laws where I ate dinner and desert but with very normal helping sizes.
