A sore bum

So as you can guess, I fell of the wagon - with a loud THUMP! But not from the weight loss effort, but more so in blogging about it. I guess I got really busy and somehow couldnt figure out how to fit this in. But the weight has come off... and 1-2 kgs have stayed off occasionally yo-yoing about.

I read this morning an interesting article - it is almost as if God was kicking my behind. So needless to say, I dug out the blog again.

So, here's a recap of my exploits since my last blog. (Lets not even go into the food journal ok!)

I havent been exercising regularly... but I have started back my Divine Diet plan... But I am being realistic about it, as in focusing on getting my devotion in check first. If I can commit to my devotion, then I will slowly be more consistent with my gym and exercise. I have been cutting down on chocies and ice cream, but biscuits are still my evil. So I no longer hoard biscuits at my work station.

So, today's topic in my devotion was the "why" to putting God first. There is a passage that struck me, esp since I am on the path of trying to get a new job that will be less stressful than my current one.

The apostle Paul tells us that God will give us the fruit of the spirit, which is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control" (Gal. 5:22-23). If my life possesses all these spiritual qualities, then I truly have all these things because my life is richly blessed and in balance.

I know my life is not balanced at the moment... which is why I am starting here, BEFORE I even bother trying to get my weight in balance!

So in a nutshell, it is time to take the bull by its horns and ATTACK!

PS... not the most appropriate photo, esp when the bottom part says "and take a nap" but it is too cute not to share!

This is hard!

My first declaration of ambition was Sept 27 and after that, proudly posted one issue if health tip and then abandoned ship. *sigh*

Well, I am back again... These past few weeks, I have been trying to lose weight, with a bit of exercise thrown in and also managing my food. I tried the no carbs thing, while most of the time I succeed, sometimes I crash and burn. My greatest temptations are biscuits. Chocolates I can say no to. Ice cream also yes. But chocolate biscuits! Now that  is painful to reject. 


To date, I have managed to only lose 1 kg, and I am aiming for 15 kgs... 5 kgs in the next 3 weeks - if that is possible! 


Anyway, I said I should do a food journal as well. So...


Breakfast --> 2 Weetabix with milo (no sugar) 
Snack --> Coffee, less sugar 
Lunch --> Home made greek salad with little olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Washed it down with 2/3 liter of water to fill up the gaps. 


Today's message from the book which I havent shared about is Matt 6 : 33

Seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you. 

And one of the key things that jumped out at me was this:

 Putting God first means seeking out to know whom He loves and loving them too. 

 I have already identified 2 people that has been getting on my nerves... well, one is removing himself from my life tomorrow onwards, but I will wish him all the best. The other... well... this one I am still learning...

Wish me luck!

Update:
* I was so hungry at 5.30 I had a cereal bar...
Dinner --> corn and a yogurt.

hope I dont snack later... :-P
