The Next Step-Weight Loss

Thank You Lord for all you are doing! I'm really excited about surrendering. I have the next step to add onto all the other steps I've been taking over the past year plus. I know you will be with me tonight as I STOP taking more than I need and START eating half of dinner.

OK, so I need to track daily and I have 10 areas. I can get a maximum score of 10 each day. I want to see as many high numbers as possible each day (10s would be good). Then I know I should be losing weight sometime soon.

1-any amount of daily walking
2-5 water
3-5 more water
4-fiber one cereal
5-daily salad
6-daily snack (eating it gives me a point!)
7-half of dinner
8-get strong (ddp yoga or praise moves, some extra moving besides the walk, when I lose weight I'll be able to DO MORE exercise)
9-no sugar
10-under 1200 calories (for weight loss)

I'm looking at my water bottle...my glass is 13oz so 10 of those is 130oz. I would need to drink 7.6 bottles to get that everyday. Thinking about doing that instead of 10 glasses...

OK, I set up a cup with 10 pennies on top of the water tank. Each time I refill my bottle, I'll toss in a penny. Refining previous systems, I think this will work!

I'm adjusting my salad to have more sunflower seeds. They are my favorite part of my salad and the fat stays with me, besides liking the crunch.

I love that this tracking sheet is NOT a burden because it is fueled by surrender and death to self. If I was just trying to manipulate my eating, it would be a burden. But it turns out it is tool and sometime in the future, I won't need it anymore! Like all my other spreadsheets I've used up until now!

Thank You Lord for time this morning to align my heart with Yours and to create a tool and have a plan!
