Amber--Day 4

I feel silly coming on here each day and saying, "I had another great day!"......but I really did! I think the thing that makes the most impact on me is that for the first time in my life I am not tempted to cheat. When I tried Paleo about a year ago, I lost ten pounds on it the first month--but I never did it the way you are supposed to. I heard James say something about occasionally having gluten and hung to that for dear life--sure I cut it out for the first week, but then I added some back in, and a little sugar along with it. One month later I was totally done with staying on it. I am not sure what is different this time, other than I am more determined--Honestly, I think it is God. I believe that this is a discipline and I seriously lack discipline in any form, so I prayed that God would help me to develop disciple in this area. I know I have an issue with overeating--and I also believe that it is wrong to over indulge--in anything. I don't have an issue with drugs or alcohol or sex....I have an issue with food...but I hope that I am on my way to ending this obsessive relationship with food.

Today's menu :)  (I made a point of drinking two 32oz cups of water today)

Breakfast--Made the same scrambled eggs with mushrooms and onions as yesterday. So yummy! I also had one medium latte with whole milk.

Lunch--two medium pork ribs and a whole apple.

Snack--about 3 tbs of chopped pecans and cashews

Dinner--sirloin steak (about 8oz), cauliflower "mashed potatoes", and asparagus. I was especially proud of myself at dinner tonight--My mom-in-law brought apple pie, and my kids and niece and nephew all wanted ice cream (my personal fav)--but I wasn't even slightly tempted!  I want this girls!

My goals--I would like to loose 50 lbs to start. I would like to start exercising regularly. I would like to do something physically active with my boys everyday--chase, bike ride, wrestle, whatever--I just want them to be active and healthy/
