Salad, fruit, salad, fruit, salad, fruit........

Day 4. I'm feeling pretty good again today. I can feel the effects of eating healthy on my body. I ate a banana and soy joy bar for breakfast. For lunch I went to Corner Bakery and had an Asian salad with Edamame on it (not very good) with a bowl of tomato soup. I was very proud of myself, I took the yummy looking piece of bread that was on the plate next to the soup and set it aside and covered with a napkin so I wouldn't be tempted to eat it. It is very hard to resisit the yummy bread they have there. That is the hardest sacrifice for me, the bread and the cheese. But I'm hanging in! Salad and fruit gets really boring though.

I think that God is really giving me clarity and focus through all of this. I think that is one of the things I struggle with the most. With all of the responsibility and stress in my life, I think I sometimes let my mind wander in an effort to somehow temporarily escape from it. The problem is, that causes me to loose focus and get behind in what I need to get done, therefore creating more stress! So, focus is what I need and the Lord is answering my prayers! Thank you!!

YEAH for blogging again! I am going to start back too! I do miss my blogging! Good luck on the fast...wish I could joing you but there are about two veggies I like, so I am pretty sure I would keel over before the 21st day! I will say that you do not have an ounce to lose missy! :) Stay strong, you can do it!
