365 Days of Spirit-Filled Fruits Challenge-Day 343


As you know, I have been eating Paleo which in a nutshell basically means no sugar, no processed foods, no dairy, no grain and no alcohol. I did the Whole 30 Challenge and did all these No’s for a full 30 days. I decided to keep eating Paleo but of course allowing the some exceptions within reason. I am pretty sure I blew my exceptions for the next month or so in this one last weekend. In any case, I am committed to making this way of eating a permanent lifestyle choice. I was eagerly anticipating my follow-up cholesterol appointment with my doctor last Monday. I had to go on a small dose of Lipitor in the Spring because my cholesterol had gone up into bad territory. One of the main reasons for going Paleo was losing weight but I also wanted to get my cholesterol down again through my diet. I actually went down a whopping 90 points! I told my doctor I was doing Paleo and committed to it so she said I was young enough to go off the Lipitor and do another cholesterol check in three months to see how much my diet is contributing to this drop. I have my results taped to my bathroom mirror. It is my goal to keep those numbers down so I don’t have to go on medication again. I am confident that with the power of God within me I can conquer this cholesterol for good.

365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 252

I started a new eating program on Monday. It is strict and planned which is what I needed. In just 4 days I have lost 5lbs! I am so thrilled! I still have a ways to go but will hopefully be able to get into some of my summer clothes before summer is over. I am praising God for my cousin and her introducing me to the Take Shape for Life program. It feels good to take back the control of my eating.  Now, I have to psych myself out for the donuts and bagels they will have at the office this morning for our quarterly celebration and pray I can get through it without being tempted to eat any of it.
