Veggies and Food Network

I survived day 1!! I don't know what it is about being on a diet that drives me to torture myself by watching Food Network, but it happened last night. I was scanning my usual channels that I tend to watch frequently and I came upon "Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives" which is one of my favorite shows to watch. Why I decided to keep watching while I was eating on my fruit I have no idea. I even began going on Pinterest and pinning every good meal I could find that I think I may try to prepare after this kick off diet. Yea, real smart to come up with more recipes to make that will only add my weight back! Some actual positive beginnings to this diet were the encouraging comments I was able to receive from my fiance as well as one of my best friends. I shared with both of them this journey I am going to embark on and they both were very excited for me and did nothing but encourage me to stick with it. So this morning I started out my "All Veggie" day with a baked potato per the diets instructions and I am finshing up my morning routine so I can get to the Shred! In regards to my Spiritual journey, I received more confirmation in my quiet time with the Lord that He definitely has this whole diet/exercise plan in mind for me for a specific reason. In self motivating, I really am relying on Him all the more to be my strength and to help me in my health. It is a trust game I am playing with God once again. This season the Lord has me in right now is preparing me for marriage and I am learning that my relationship with God needs to be to a level of intimacy that will sustain even after I add my partner. I think as women we are susceptible to looking at our mate to be our savior too often. I don't want to do that as it is very dangerous! So I am taking this a day at a time and looking forward to great results!
