New Friends and Fixing My Food Issues

I love summer! Today, I went to church, had lunch with fantastic friends (Jordan Clark, Paul - our neighbor, Lorie Pittman, Michael Pittman, and their wonderful kids, Josh and Julianna). When we got home, Jordan and I took a FOUR HOUR NAP! :) Yes - it was awesome. Got up, spent some time with Paul at Wal-Mart.

Then, I made a healthy dinner and read more in my book - Fit For My King: His Princess Diet Plan and Devotional. This is a very good book that takes you through 30 days of dieting and fasting from artificial things. Hoping to see good results!
- I am going through this book with a new/old friend. :) We've known each other for a few years now, but have never really been close.

Starting June 4th, we are meeting every Saturday to encourage each other and ask each other the "hard questions." We are also reading this 30 day devo together and another book called "Made to Crave: Satisfying your deepest desire with God, not food" by Lysa TerKeurst. When we meet, we'll talk about the books, what we've learned about God and ask each other the "hard questions" that we don't want to be asked - those things that we know we should do, but usually don't.

My questions are: Have you worked out this week? Have you read your Bible and prayed every day?

I hope this will help me to be more accountable for my actions/laziness and finally see the results that I've wanted for years. I pray that I will grow closer to God, my accountability partner, and become more healthy in the days to come. I'm claiming victory today! It WILL happen!
