What a busy weekend! I am ready to start a new week.

I am disappointed that I am not losing faster. I think I will start eliminating some foods for awhile, like the almonds I am enjoying. I start out on good footing but seem to end on shaky ground--eating a little too much for supper.

I will try cutting back and see if that helps. I don't want to lose fast, but I want it to be steady. I feel so much better, and that counts for something, too!

Another week has flown by! I have so much to learn about my new lifestyle.

I think I will use the computer this weekend to learn more about being a vegan. The books are good, but they aren't in agreement (and I think I would lose weight faster if I knew the correct formula). I need to get a better fundamental grasp in a "Reader's Digest" form.

It is going well, and I do feel so much better. It just takes time to learn a whole new way of thinking.

I am trying to come up with a variety of healthy options for my main meal.

The more I read, the more I'm realizing I'm going to have to decide what is working for me. Each book tells a different story on what foods to stay away from. So, I will be checking labels looking at fat grams, sugar grams, and fiber grams. (That rules out a lot of foods!)

God is wonderfully in this; that is my joy.

Last night was much better with no desire to eat more than a salad. I was thankful.

My weight isn't falling off like I would like it to; but I have reduced my pill intake, taking three instead of nine! I feel great and am looking forward to feeling even greater!

Along the way, God is teaching me and stretching me to be ready for the day that weight is no longer my challenge; He will show me a new one!

I spent last night feeling dissatisfied; the flesh is alive and well!

I don't know why it hit me so hard, but it certainly caught me off guard. I ended up going to bed early, after doing some more reading on why I'm eating the way I am. It helped, and it made me sleepy!

So, today is a new day. I hope tonight isn't a repeat of last night's struggle!

On this Memorial Day our troops are remembered and thanked for their heroic willingness to serve our beloved country.

Remembered also are the many families affected by the tornado devastation yesterday. My heart goes out to them as they mourn and try to pick up the pieces of their life.

May God bless each one of them.

Friday is here with a busy weekend ahead of me. I have to work four hours Sunday, so there goes my nap!

I've had a great (almost) three weeks and can see only positive things coming from my new lifestyle. It's funny how I thought I was on the right path, only to find out I've been eating all the wrong foods--and abstaining from all the good foods! The more reading I do, the more I see where my error in thinking was. How can two camps, though (claiming the same outcome), be 180 degreees apart?!

I'm thankful for God's prompting to go to a meeting that changed my life--forever.
