Yesterday
was the final day of the Whole 30 challenge. I made cauliflower rice for the
first time and fell in love. This morning I get on the scale to see what 30
days has done and was disappointed to see only 2lbs down. But I have to
remember I actually, started 3 weeks before the challenge cutting out things
and lost 5lbs in those three weeks. I am not to the goal I set myself but I do
feel better and have found that I don’t need the snacks and don’t get the
shakiness like I use to. I am going to keep going with this way of eating as I
have found I really enjoy the freshness of the foods and the new foods I have
tried. I may never eat pasta or rice again thanks to spaghetti squash and
cauliflower. Who knew? I am going to persevere and keep on this race in eating
healthy and let the natural course of time do its thing. It takes one meal to
gain weight but takes months to lose it.
So, I am going to call on the Holy Spirit to give me patience and help
me with the self-control needed to eat in a disciplined healthy way.
And
let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do
not give up. Galatians 6:9
