Mish-Mash Monday!!

Hey everyone! A new week, a new month, and new possibilities. Hope you all had a great weekend. I didn't do much but sit and keep my foot up! I am going crazy being cooped up inside, but I did find a really good show on Netflix to watch.

This show is called Ruby and it is a couple years old. But it is basically a reality show that follows Ruby along her weight loss journey. She was at 700 pounds at one time, and started the show at almost 500 pounds. What I love the most, is that she shares SO much more than just weight loss, but shares the emotional and mental struggles as well. I have only watched 1 1/2 seasons and I am hooked. At least this show gives me something worthwhile to watch while I am recuperating. If you have never watched it, I suggest giving this show a try.

This is the verse for the week. When I first read it, I will be honest I thought of food. I thought of how I used to hide food so that only I could eat it, I would hide the evidence so no one knew what I was binging on. Food (especially sweets) were my hidden treasures. They made me feel good, never judged me for being "fat", and was ALWAYS there for me. I still struggle with this food addiction, and I think I will forever. Some days are easier than others, and then there are days like yesterday when your hubby and kids come home with Krispy Kreme donuts. I really don't even like donuts, but they were SUCH a temptation. Hubby even offered me just a bite. I was a good girl and I stayed strong and didn't even taste one! This verse really makes me think about what I should be treasuring instead of Reese's Cups and M&M's. I am excited to really reflect on God's treasures for me this week.

The word for this week is PEACE. So many things come to mind when I think of this word. I think of God's peace and I think of making peace with myself. I know this word will bring up a lot of reflection through this week.

I know I usually share my menu for the week on Monday's, but I am not cooking again this week as I am still recovering from foot surgery. Hopefully by next week I will be able to be on my feet more again!

Here are my goals for February:

NO EXCUSES - I really want to work on not making excuses for why I don't stay on plan.
LOVE ME - I am working on this, but I have struggled the last few weeks with some negative self talk. For February I really want to work on loving myself and feeling good enough for me.
WEIGHT LOSS - I am not going to set a number, but I REALLY want to get under 300 pounds this month!!!
