Day 6

     Today is the first Sunday since I have began my journey to change my life. I knew today was going to be a challenge, especially since we are beginning a revival. I decided to take today off from working out. My basis for this is because it is Sunday and I am treating it as a day of rest.  I did good for breakfast and ate oatmeal and fruit. For lunch my family and I took the evangelists out for lunch. We decided to eat locally and went to our local Mexican restaurant.
     I ordered the pollo Monterrey which is grilled chicken with vegetables on it. As you may remember I said in the past that the challenge, at least for me is the chips and salsa. However, this time I tried what some of you guys suggested, I counted 10 chips out and put them on my napkin. This did help because I knew that when my napkin was empty I was done with chips. It worked! Thank you for the tip.
     In an attempt to keep on track my family and I made a point to eat before church. Since we ate around 1:30 PM we were not super hungry, but I wanted to eat before 6:00 PM. Therefore , we ate lunchables for dinner. For those of you who may not know it is basically cheese and crackers with a snack. It worked and got me through church, but by the time we got home I was hungry. So I did eat tonight after 6:00 PM, but I ate 5 baby carrot sticks, some broccoli florets, and some almonds. I still feel hungry, but I am going to remain strong because I really feel God wants to be in control of this area of my life. One of the things I am going to try is to drink a cup of water to see if that will help curb the hunger.
    Several people have commented that what I am doing is an inspiration to them. While this is unexpected, it seems that God seems to be dealing with others about yielding to God this area if their lives as well. If this is you, I encourage you to go for it. Allow God to have control over every area.
