Spiritual Food

Today was my 4th weigh-in for the Newberg Graphic team challenge that started 2 months ago.  I was absolutely shocked today by the difference two weeks can make.  My last weigh in I only lost a mere 1 lb b/c I had made a mistake in how I was counting calories on myfitnesspal.  I was maintaining instead of losing.  After a feeling of disappointment, I moved ahead not letting that stop me.  Yet.  I was out-of-town 6 days within the last two weeks and working out but not feeling like I lost anything.

I got on the scale...moving the ticker to the right again and again...nothing.  Dang.

Trying it again with some frustration over my problem areas I thought "Well...I guess I'll try going to the left".  Hello!  Konnichiwa!  I LOST 6.5 lbs!  Yeah baby!!

Workout:
-  5 days/week circuit training days
-  A few times a week small treadmill runs of 2 - 3 miles
-  1 day a week doing the half marathon training schedule.  Last Sat was 7 miles!

Food:
-  Yesterday I committed myself to a liquid fast to discipline myself holistically.  It felt good to consider all day that spiritual food is worth more than anything.  I met a friend around dinner time - I debated about what to do but once I shared it it ended up not being a big deal.  I know I shouldn't feel bad about sticking to my goals.  I'm slowly learning that it's good to take care of myself and it gives me the freedom and confidence to serve others.

-  These last few weeks there have been several meals out but I've tried to share dishes or take half home

-  Eating every two hours small meals  - really helps me feel like I'm in control and I'm not stuffing myself

-  Not keeping much food in my kitchen helps a ton too!
