It's not a diet, it is a healthy eating plan....

Well I have not posted for awhile. I have been busy with starting my new "healthy eating plan". I am starting to think that is what I am telling myself so I feel happy. I really want to loose weight though so I am trying to cook the same foods but use better ingredients. Anyway, I also started working out at our local YMCA. I was doing it 6 days a week, but that with the planning of my new eating plan was just taking to much away from my household. I was having a hard time balancing the two. So I scaled back to 3 days a week so I can get to the spring stuff that has been waiting all snowy winter for me. So far I think it is a better balance. As far as the food goes though, I am still struggling a bit. So much of my definition of being a "good" wife and mother is wrapped up in providing scrumptious, tasty meals for my family. Including dessert! I am having to revisit that and my family is noticing. So far not to many complaints though, we shall see.

I am anxious for spring to get here as my starts are ready to get into the garden ground. I think I will go ahead and try to plant a small salad garden and see if it will make it. Having just moved here, and the weather being so strange this year, I hope that it will do okay. I am using it as my test.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

Praise God for His leading . We all need to be reminded to eat according to His will. So many times I can forget that He wants us to care for this body faithfully so we are fit for His service. He will reward our efforts to please Him and not making eating or not eating our focus... you are so blessed!

With love, Mrs. Joseph Wood

I definately know what you are talking about. I have realized though that it doesnt matter how many times you go to the gym, if you are not making healthy eating choices its not going to make a difference. But its so hard because I am a sucker for sugar and chips! Miss you Auntie MO.

I am trying to do the same thing dear. As well and cutting portion sizes! It is hard to break such old habits.

God's Blessings,
