Happy Monday "losers"! I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I did, even though I am SO ready to get back to a normal routine after this surgery. I started off today being really, really nervous. I had been asked to do an interview on a podcast today at noon. I really felt like I was going to puke. However, once the interview started I calmed down and it went well. As soon as the podcast is available I will share the link with you all. About 10 minutes before the interview, I just started praying. I prayed that God would give me the right words to say and give me some peace to settle my nerves. This week's verse kept playing over and over in my head:
I HATE admitting that I am weak. I think most people do. But almost throwing up before a phone interview is a little lot weak! I love that this verse tells us to boast in our weaknesses, because it allows Christ's power to be shown. HIS power is made perfect in our weaknesses, HIS grace is sufficient for us. I don't need anything else but this promise to make it through every day.
And our word for the week is:
Sometimes the truth can be hard to accept. 14 months ago, I weighed over 400 pounds. OUCH! I was lazy, hated the person I was, and was being blinded to the truth that I needed to change. Truth is not an easy thing to accept, but once we do it can be life-changing!
I think I have been counting my oatmeal wrong all this time. So today I figured it from the uncooked amount.
1 cup uncooked oats - 7 points+
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar - 1 point+
2 tsp canola oil - 2 points+
1/8 cup sugar free syrup - 0 points+
banana - 0 points+
black coffee - 0 points+
baked sweet potato mashed up with 1 tbsp brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 tbsp blue bonnet light butter - 6 points+
Weight Watcher hazelnut smoothie made with 1 cup silk vanilla light - 4 points+
KFC Grilled Chicken Breast - 5 points+
Mashed potatoes - 3 points+
green beans - 0 points+
I am tired of take-out and ready to be able to cook again!
Nature Valley baked oatmeal square - 4 points+
2 sargento reduced far colby jack cheese sticks - 3 points+
apple - 0 points+
Nature Valley protein bar - 5 points+
hot green tea - 0 points+
Used 36 out of 45 points!
That is it for today! Sending you all love and healthy wishes!
Keep Losing,
Kari
