Day Four: Reminder

Today I was reminded of the verse,"do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus," Philippians 4:6-7. To be honest sometimes I do not give my worries and anxious thoughts to God and pray about them. I like to think I am super women and can do everything on my own! ;-) This verse is so so good! It says in EVERYTHING (not being able to find your keys, stress at work, hard relationship, things you going through, people who said hateful things to you, and so on) pray about it and tell it to God. When you do this you will get a peace that only God can give you that will calm your heart, head, and sometimes tears. I experienced this tonight!

Today was a little harder for me on day four fast track with Jorge Cruise. Why? Well I am an emotional eater and when something sad or stressful happens to me I want to run to food!! I have always done that. It has been something that would "make" me feel better but thirty minutes later I would feel like poo! Tonight when I was feeling different feelings the thought came to my head to cheat! Yup me cheat! BUT I didn't. You might be thinking, "Mindi, it's ok to give yourself a treat every now and then." And I would say to you Satan get behind me!(lol, jk) I would not have been giving myself a treat I would have been giving into my old ways by which I am trying to break. Instead I drank water and sat and prayed! It is amazing on what you read in the morning that the Lord shows you, and how he reminds you at the end of the day that he is still with you and will never leave you.

Day Four:
B- Eggs and bacon
ms- cheese
L- Salad with chicken
an- cheese with coffee
D- steak and avocado
Treat- 2 squares of chocolate

You might be looking at my old post and thinking to yourself that I eat the same old thing every day. Since I am the only one in my house eating this way and wanting to drop some pounds, when you cook, you have enough for the entire week. To be honest I love cheese, eggs, steak and so I am not complaining at all! Another reason eating this way is easy to do, I do not eat out all the time which saves me money! :D
