Monday, Week 17, Day 1, Diet with Dianna

Whoo-hoo! A Picture speaks a thousand words. I am 20 lbs. lighter and loving it! I can see a difference!
This is very good. I was hoping for more, but I'm not complaining. I'm on the right track. The weather is finally cooling off so I can walk without melting! Thank the Lord. We've had a few days of cool, then bounced back to extreme hot, and now a refreshing cool again. I am feeling excited about tomorrow and my morning walk!

Exercise: None. Except for household chores.

Revelation Knowledge: 
Steadfast. This is an interesting word. It can sometimes be considered, stubborn. The Miriam Webster Online Dictionary says:

1. firmly fixed in place; immovable
2. not subject to change
3. firm in belief, determination, or adherence

The Holy Bible speaks of being steadfast in keeping the Lord's commandments (I Chronicles 28:7)

1. to fasten upon, be consistent, seize, to be obstinate, to cure, help, be strong, repair, help,
   constrain.

The word, Steadfast, comes from the Hebrew word, châzaq (khaw-zak') and has so many dimensional meanings, but they all draw a picture in my mind. It reminds me that of the change, a metamorphosis so to speak, that my mind has gone through. I no longer think of food the same way I did nearly four months ago, when I began this journey. I am steadfast/obstinate in my food choices. I am steadfast/immovable in my will to succeed! I am steadfast/determined to lose all of the one hundred pounds I set as my goal. I will not be as thin as I was at nineteen, but I will be a perfectly healthy weight for my age and height. I will live longer, have more energy, and a pep in my step. I will be steadfast to success!

Breakfast:

1. Homemade Pumpkin Spiced Whole Wheat pancake with 
2. sugar free syrup and 
3. whipped cream
4. Coffee with half & half and one packet of Stevia

Breakfast S/C: 2/1

No Snack:

Lunch:

1. Arby's Angus Cool Deli Wrap (Yes, an entire wrap is a whopping 620 calories...if you eat it with mayonnaise and the entire thing! BUT I only ate a third of the wrap because it is so HUGE! I omit the mayonnaise and vinaigrette and tomatoes! Therefore I barely ate 170 calories and a few curly fries. So, including the fries I had about 25 carbs for my entire lunch meal, and about 2 sugars.

Lunch S/C: 2/2
